A nice outing in the woods in a historical area

This photo illustrates how hilly the area is along the creeks and ravines. This photo is of the Big Pine Trail Bridge, but was taken from another trail along San Pedro Creek.

Comments: This is a lightly used park, perhaps due to its location away from population centers. Much of the trail is level, but there are some challenging grades around a couple of creek crossings. I did not hike all the trails, but the route I took circled a small pond, and passed by a restored log cabin, the foundation for an old fire tower, and a bird blind. The entire length of the trail is in the forest. We saw no other hikers and only a couple of sites at the campground were occupied.
