Always love a loop! Bathrooms by the parking lot were super clean. It was a very accessible hike if you wanted to bring an elder. Interpretive signage was interesting and we even came across a roving ranger who answered our questions about some plants. Only a quick jaunt from the 101 freeway, yet when you get on the trail all the highway sounds are gone. Beautiful old trees, very well-maintained trail.
Really simple hike. 5 year old and 2 year old able to walk in its entirety- really beautiful views and good "first" glimpse of the redwoods.
Lovely loop, off the highway so the car noise is gone. Super mellow and good for slow strolling and admiring the flora. :)
Easy trail with some great views of the redwood forest.
Easy short hike to some redwoods. Good for photography and light walking.
WOW! Redwood National Park is such a unbelievable park. You feel the energy coming from this place. Very easy walk throughout this trail. Take your time and really enjoy this park.

What a great trail. Not a hike more like a stroll. Awesome trees
With the family as a kid...
Beautiful meandering trail through this Redwood grove. Absolutely spectacular at mid-morning as the sunlight is filtering through these majestic trees.
Beautiful trees everywhere.
My kids and I walk this trial every couple of months - beauty!
Awesome old growth trees!
We spent two days in the Redwoods and this was one of the two trails we enjoyed. This is just a short walk but we spent a lot of time just being there, rather than just walking through. What a fabulous place and very photogenic. A very easy walk and relatively few people for being the middle of July. It's easy to find, but parking can be tricky because of the small parking lot. Go early to avoid a backlog. We had to wait in line to get in.
