This rewarding hike though old-growth redwoods is very popular for those in the north wanting a bit of a challenge - both physically and logistically. Located in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, visitors should consider this as a half-day experience to access and then walk this 5.5 mile round trip trail.
