Kruse Rhododendron State Reserve

Cazadero, CA 95421, USA

We hiked the Rhododendron state reserve in March, so the rhododendrons weren’t in bloom. May is supposed to be the best time to see the blooms. I did see rhododendron plants in profusion, so I can only imagine how gorgeous this hike will be when they are in bloom. This is a easy hike, some uphill walking. The misty redwoods and damp ferns create a very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere.
