Wonderful video! Having just completed the route this past week your footage brought it to life for us yet again. Especially enjoyed your drone shots. The Bull Creek area was awesome. Our family did the short loop and had lunch there. My 6 year old son loved climbing that fallen tree you were walking across at the end.

Bummed I didn't get out to Punta Gorda. There were high clouds the day we went so we stopped on the lookout road before the end. For some reason I thought the hike was longer than a mile. The kids could have handled that and would have loved to of seen an additional lighthouse. Oh well, reason to go back!

It was my first time making the hike to the lighthouse, and I highly recommend it. As you can see, the drive up Prosper Ridge alone is well worth it. When you make it to Windy Point, don't let the wind deter you. As you start descending the trail, it's not nearly as windy as the trail head, but glad you enjoyed Bull Creek Flats! If your kids love exploring the Redwoods, you might want to bring them up to Trees of Mystery up in Klamath, where they have bridges through the redwood canopy.
