About This Trail

[Total: 0    Average: 0/5]

This short, mild trail leads through lush ancient coastal redwoods. Fallen trees give life to ferns, redwood sorrel (resembles clover), hemlock and huckleberries. The trail loops a grove near the Smith River. Although located close to US-199, the dense forest helps to dampen the traffic noise and helps to give an enchanted feeling.  To stay along the loop, turn right at each intersection.

Being outside is how I re-charge. It gives me perspective, fills me with gratitude and provides an opportunity to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life. I am fortunate to share this passion with my amazing husband and our son.  I was born and raised in the PNW but I love exploring any area I can get to. One of my favorite things about Hike it Baby is that I have a built in community of friends to provide trail suggestions anywhere we go.
