Moorman Pond Trail GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

The Moorman Pond Trail is a very short hike through a really pretty canyon full of redwood trees. The destination of the trail is a small pond obscured by ferns. The whole hike has really lush and pretty scenery, but the trail is way too short. It follows a nice creek for a while and enters a human-made vegetated tunnel. I recommend longer trails in the area like the James Irvine and Fern Canyon Loop, but this is a great little outing to see some redwoods and enjoy the cozy and quiet greenery.
