Episode 1:
Join a national park ranger for a virtual walk down a trail to the Pacific Ocean. This trail is on ancestral Yurok land - and is located in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park section of Redwood National and State Parks.
[Video description: This is a montage of four video clips of a uniformed park ranger descending hundreds of feet on an unpaved trail. No text appears at all. The trail begins in redwood trees, and soon the forests change to sitka spruce trees and then alder trees. As the trail passes a gully lined with ferns, ocean waves are heard. The ranger finally leaves the forests and walks onto a wide, gray and pebbly beach. Waves are seen crashing on the beach. It is a cloudy day. Cliffs, ridgelines lined with trees ,and steep bluffs surround three sides of the 360 degree scene].
