Directions from Orick: Travel northward on Highway 101 to Bald Hills Road. Turn right and follow Bald Hills Road nearly three miles to the parking area on the south side of the road. Walk across the bridge to reach the trail.
Amazing trees, a little busy but not bad . Mostly flat hike
Beautiful, very easy trail
CAUTION!!! To anyone in the area, I advise everyone to not pass where the pavement ends at the end of bald hills road. If you reach the fire station then you have gone to far, turn around. No more national park trails in this area. It is in the wilderness not the national park. The map says you can reach the 169 Hwy or the 299 hwy by going down that road. This is a dangerous area with a narrow one lane road. It will eventually lead to a town called weitchpec but this is a small town, with one questionable gas station. Definitely go back towards the 101 Hwy.
The trees were amazing out here. Great easy trail to see some really amazing trees.
Beautiful! breathtaking redwood trees!!
Nice walk amongst the Giants
Great for nice walk through some ginormous trees.
Very easy, but a great view of the Redwoods.
nice, easy walk. not overcrowded. not overly special but relaxing
It's a nice walk but there are better groves.
Gorgeous easy to follow path. Old growth Redwood. Only negative was obnoxious adolescent disturbing peace and tranquillity. .

very scenic. easy.
As good as it gets anywhere.
Fun, simply trail with a lot of great photo opportunities. Look for some of the “off trail” paths, which are still well maintained but are less trafficked. There’s a bunch of cool formations hiding down these paths.
The quietness is overwhelming! The ferns are at least 5 feet tall; and the trees will leave you speechless.

Great easy stroll through the redwoods
Easy trail. Great for kids.
some really nice trees in the Grove. short and easy hike.
great for takings the kids on a morning stroll
This is an easy and short loop that would be perfect for small children and families. It showcases some huge trees. It is a great introduction trail to the redwoods. No need to bring lunch or a huge camelback of water. I imagine this trail would be crowded in the peak season. I went in late March with my boyfriend and we had almost the entire trail to ourselves.
Easy and pretty trail. We were there in the off season, and it was still pretty busy with lots of cars in the lot.
Such a peaceful place. Short hike with some really unique trees to be seen. If you are in the park, don’t miss this one!

I did this trail with ranger guides for the initial part - which was awesome to learn about the different growths, history, folk lore. Definitely having the ranger enhanced the whole experience!
If this would have been my first hike in the Redwoods I probably would rate it higher. Not as much old growth as I expected. The trail IS very easy and I would recommend it for small children.
Y'all
Hiked in September 2018. Easy walk - the ferns were almost as impressive as the redwoods.
Easy trail with educational stops. Great weather.
Loved it! This has to be the most beautiful place I've ever been too! I spent a week in the Redwoods and I made sure to hit this trail twice :)
