Seeing the famous tafoni sandstone formation. Somehow the hole-y formations is making me feel tingly inside (I have trypophobia lol). I was with my cuzz at the time. It's been a while since we've done a hiking trip. This time, we went here to The El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve around San Mateo County. The preserve is characterized by dense second-growth redwood and mixed evergreen forests. Certainly a nice place to escape the busy, fast-paced life nearby!

*A bit about this preserve: More than 34 miles of multiuse trail are available for exploration at the 2,908-acre El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve. While this preserve is extremely popular with bicyclists, it also has lots of hearty hiking and horseback riding opportunities. Visitors will find creekside trails through mixed evergreen and redwood forests, enjoy ocean views, admire rare sandstone formations and experience a sense of remoteness. Visitors to this preserve can see unique sandstone formations called tafoni. Cave-like indentations and delicate honeycomb structures are formed in the sandstone by just the right combination of weather and atmospheric conditions. Numerous logging roads are also still evident, most of which are now trails. With a little help, nature has incredible healing powers: the deep canyons have regenerated dense stands of second-growth redwoods. While most of the giant old-growth redwoods were logged, a few awe-inspiring giants remain to be seen (like the Methuselah Tree). With 36 miles of trails, there's plenty to explore!

The old Parliament building is to the right. The long building to the left is a multiuse building.
