If you happen to be cruising through the town of Boulder Creek, grab your mountain bike, hiking shoes and camera. Boulder Creek is the gateway to Big Basin State Park, home of the redwoods and the San Lorenzo Valley. The town of Boulder Creek is fairly unique and rich in history, especially with logging. The main park in town is Junction Park and this is where all the locals get together for some good times, especially after the 4th of July festival. If your looking for some camping in town, or maybe Big Basin State Park is at full capacity then check out Redwood Resort at the south end of town. Several hardware and liquor stores in town will be sure to take care of any last minute camping or backpacking item that you forgot at home. Check out Johnnie's Market or New Leaf market. Both have good lunches at reasonable prices and if you are looking for pharmacy type items the the Boulder Creek Pharmacy has it. Boulder Creek makes a great pit stop for Big Basin Campers. Don't forget to gas up in town also.
Every year Boulder Creek houses the annual Art and Wine Festival and it is usually a great success, especially when it is hot out. There are also numerous murals throughout town that local artists have been painting for years. Boulder Creek also houses the San Lorenzo Valley Museum where a lot of local history has been documented. If you are in town go check it out!
