Garrapata State Park

Garrapata State Park is situated along Highway1 just south of Carmel. From the outside it does not look like much, but when you hike there, you are up for a nice treat. We went there in the spring where the wild flower were still blooming.

I went to Garrapata to complete the loop that we did not finish last time. This time in May the flowers were blooming even more, and it ended up being a strenuous hike, but also very beautiful.

I stumbled over this small fall on the way through the forest	I also hiked along the small creek at the north fork	The forest was very nice
... and still very green	Out in the open there very many beautiful flowers	Another
And another	Every thing seemed to be blooming	Another interesting flower
This is a flower often found in Denmark	Another nice one	Yet another flower often found in Denmark
It is a tough hike up to the top	But it is beautiful	You initially hike down in the valley but end up at the top
A nice view over the Pacific ocean	Another nice view	The rock formation in the ocean is famous along Highway-1
Yet another nice view

Helen on the way away for the highway	You get to a forest after a while	A lot of cactus are also there
Wild flower blooming	Another one	and yet another one
Here I am in the park	And another picture of me	Helen on the way to the forest
Helen and I	Strange trees	In the forest
The park on the other side of the highway	The beautiful cost line along highway 1	Helen and I along the cost line
