"Lucanus cervus" is the best-known species of stag beetle in the West, and is sometimes referred to simply as the stag beetle. It lives in holes in old trees and dead trunks, in the forest as well as in groves.
From the parking area (don’t block the gate) a nice hike. This is one of my favorite roads for a nice evening stroll and also the “easy” trail to the Mount Benson summit. Terrain rating is based on the last 20 meters.
Enjoy the views and BYOP.
Congratulations to Team MUMSY for the FTF
