When the trail reaches Bear Creek Summit, also known as Madrone Knoll, it splits around the summit. You can go in either direction as both will lead you back to this point.

This old growth redwood sits off the left side of the trail and reminds you just how gigantic these trees can become.
Take a moment to enjoy the texture of the bark on the trees, as various trees have different textures. There are amazing patterns and shades of brown and green on the trees.

When the trail reaches Bear Creek Summit, also known as Madrone Knoll, it splits around the summit. You can go in either direction as both will lead you back to this point.

As you make your way around the summit, you can catch glimpses of the mountains around you, but there are no clear views.
The trail approaches a private driveway that you need to cross to get to the summit. Take a minute to enjoy the respite from all of the climbing that you have been doing.
The moisture in the area, which is perfect for redwoods, allows ferns and mosses to flourish here as well.
You can see how steep portions of the Alma Trail are as it climbs toward the intersection with the Redwood Springs Trail.
The Redwood Springs Trail levels off as it approaches the Alma Trail.
