Fern Canyon

 This past Sunday we went to Fern Canyon and explored.  Its a little canyon that you have to wade through the river/stream the whole way to get there.  But it is beautiful!  And its right by the ocean so you can see the ocean and  be in the mountains at the same time.  The pic above is after we got through the canyon and we were making the loop back to the car.
 This was just a cool tree that I liked:)
 Here is the beach and the canyon that we were in is not too far off in the distance to the right.
 This was Fern Canyon!  It was basically a wall on both sides that went about 50 feet up and was covered in all kinds of different ferns and little waterfalls.
 The trees are so darn cool, I just love them!
This was such a beautiful view of the fog rolling in.  What a pretty day!
Kade piggy-backed me a lot of the way cause you literally had to walk through the water most of the time and I had shoes on that I didn't really want to get wet. What a sport he was!
 On our adventure, we saw A LOT of elk!  They are everywhere out here! It is crazy!  And they are all wild, but they are used to everyone always looking at them, so you can get pretty close.
The elk just hang around this little area, they are here pretty much all the time.
 This was on the drive, so pretty!
The horses were having some issues getting along with the elk. The elk were laying down, enjoying the day and the buckskin horse came up to the elk and pinned his ears back at it as if to say,"Really, you guys have to park your whole entire heard right in our lush pasture!!?? MOVE ALREADY!!!!" It was hilarious! I was pretty surprised that the elk didn't move, it just got up and faced the horse in a very confident manner! Haha!
 Upclose!  We were only about 20 yards from this guy, and he didn't mind one bit!  I love that you can see his little knubs starting to grow back! :) Kade loves this area because it makes him feel like right at home!
    The deadfall was pretty cool looking!  Very big trees:)
