Description

Title: 41°13'45" N 123°58'25" W
Alt-Title: Bald Hills Road IV

Continuing along Bald Hills Road you gain elevation and start to leave the giant Redwoods behind for smaller Douglas-Fir and Grand Fir forests and open prairies. These open prairies were maintained by American Indians who would burn the prairies and nearby forests in order to keep the forest at bay. These fires would help promote the growth of spring grasses which would attract elk and deer to hunt while being used as material for baskets, nets, and string. Additionally, the fires would stimulate the grown of acorns, hazelnuts, berries, and other plants that were used as food sources.
