Mount Madonna majestic trees

One of the best county park experiences. So much beauty around. Lots of campers, however the trails were empty when we went. Magnificent redwoods and I guess eucalyptus (as per the nice smell) giving you shade in every trail. We parked next to the 'equestrian parking lot' because everything seemed packed with cars (however, again, no one to be seen in trails). This is a very fairy tale county park, I think so far is my favorite in the area. After 2 hours of hiking and taking pretty pics we got enough, but for sure will come back. You have some areas with wonderful views to the sea side. Also, very close from Madonna is a Vietnamese Buddhist monastery well worth another visit. A real hidden gem among those tall redwoods. Also, the whole park smells sooo good, you will leave with the feeling you have been at a spa and even you skin will be softer (or you will think so).
