Jason Wertheimer, 38, of San Francisco, admired these towering trees near mile 6.5 of the 10.5-mile Berry Creek Falls Loop outside of Santa Cruz. “I also love mountain biking in the park,” he says. “And in spring, the 40-foot falls should be running briskly.” Join the fun: Tag your hiking photo #BPmag on Instagram.
