Excursions in Felton

Hey there, fellow adventure seekers! Are you ready to explore the charming town of Felton, nestled in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains? Well, buckle up because Foxiepass is here to take you on a journey you won't forget!

Felton might be small, but don't let its size fool you. This quaint little town is bursting with natural wonders, rich history, and some of the coolest attractions you'll find in California. Let me tell you about some of the amazing places you can visit with our guided tours.

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park

First up, we've got the crown jewel of Felton - Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Trust me, you haven't lived until you've stood beneath these towering giants. Some of these redwoods are over 1,500 years old and reach heights of up to 277 feet! It's like stepping into a real-life fairy tale.

Our tour guides know all the best spots in the park, including:

• The Redwood Grove Loop Trail - perfect for all ages and abilities
• The hidden albino redwood - a rare genetic mutation that's truly a sight to behold
• The Santa Cruz Sandhills - a unique ecosystem home to several endangered species

And if you're feeling adventurous, we can even take you to the park's famous swimming hole. Just imagine cooling off in crystal-clear waters surrounded by ancient redwoods. It's pure bliss!

Roaring Camp Railroads

Next stop on our Felton tour is a trip back in time at Roaring Camp Railroads. This isn't your average train ride, folks. We're talking about authentic 1880s steam locomotives chugging through redwood forests and up to the summit of Bear Mountain.

Our guides will regale you with tales of California's logging history and the role these trains played in shaping the region. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the sound of a steam whistle echoing through the mountains. It's enough to give you goosebumps!

Felton Covered Bridge Park

Now, I know what you're thinking. "A bridge? Really?" But hear me out. The Felton Covered Bridge isn't just any old bridge. Built in 1892, it's one of the few remaining covered bridges in California and the tallest covered bridge in the country!

Our tour includes a stroll across this historic landmark, where you can soak in the views of the San Lorenzo River. And if you're lucky, you might even spot some local wildlife. I once saw a family of otters playing in the river below - talk about a kodak moment!

Mount Hermon Adventures

For all you thrill-seekers out there, we've got something special lined up. Mount Hermon Adventures offers some of the best zipline canopy tours in the state. Imagine soaring through the redwood canopy, 150 feet above the forest floor. It's an adrenaline rush like no other!

Our guides will ensure your safety while you enjoy this exhilarating experience. And don't worry if you're afraid of heights - I was too until I tried it. Now I can't get enough!

Felton Farmers Market

Last but not least, we'll wrap up our tour with a visit to the Felton Farmers Market. This isn't just any old market - it's a celebration of local produce, artisanal crafts, and community spirit.

Sample some of the freshest fruits and veggies you'll ever taste, chat with local farmers, and maybe pick up a unique souvenir or two. And if you're lucky enough to visit during berry season, do not miss out on the local strawberries. They're so sweet and juicy, they'll ruin you for supermarket berries forever!

So there you have it, folks - a whirlwind tour of Felton's finest attractions. Whether you're a nature lover, history buff, adrenaline junkie, or foodie, Felton has something for everyone. And with Foxiepass, you'll get to experience it all with knowledgeable local guides who are passionate about sharing the beauty and history of our little slice of paradise.
