Ah, March. The redwoods are more vibrant during the wetter months. The moisture brings out the greenest colors in the mosses and ferns. Mushrooms, lichens, and banana slugs are everywhere. You can almost feel the trees breathing in the dampness. Here’s how we would spend March in Yurok Country.
Trillium Season
The ever elusive Trillium starts to bloom towards the end of March. They can be found in moist and dark forested areas. The three-petaled flower, usually white, pink, or purple, rests on a long stem above three pointed oval leaves. Its petals are not upright, distinguishing it from the giant trillium.
Speaking of Trilliums, we think it’s appropriate to highlight the Trillium Falls Trail this month. Many of the rangers think this is the best little hike in the parks and with good reason! It’s a beautiful trail, with picnic options, and accessible parking for a wide variety of vehicles, like buses and RV’s. Learn how to get to the trailhead here.
Whale Watching
Book a whales and wildlife tour with Kayak Trinidad. The months of March, April, and May bring thousands of migrating grey whales and their calves traveling north from Baja to Alaska. Trinidad Bay is a popular resting spot for these creatures, and what’s a better way to experience whale watching than in a kayak!
