Big Basin State Park — image 12-1
West Ridge Trail of Rancho del Oso, near Waddell Creek
A shady and visually rich walk through oak and chaparral
along the west ridge trail in the Rancho del Oso section
of Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The trail head for this western terminus of the Big Basin trail
system is across Highway 1 from Waddell Creek State Beach, about 15 miles south of Pescadero and 1 mile south of the Santa Cruz County border.
The valley was originally named “Cañada de la Salud” or “Canyon of Health” in October 1769 by the Portola Expedition. They camped at the mouth of what is now Waddell Creek. Many in the expedition party were sick with scurvy when they reached this canyon campsite. Lush with ripe berries, the explorers gorged on the fruit, which miraculously cured them of their ills and enabled them to quickly resume their search for Monterey Bay.
A walk in these woods is still restorative to both body and spirit, even without eating the berries found along the trail. The creek and beach are named for William Waddell who built a saw mill here in the 1860’s.
