About This Adventure
About
We affectionately refer to this hike as "Explore the Best of the Redwoods," as it truly showcases the beauty of Humboldt along this loop trail. It's a moderately challenging hike, featuring around 440 feet of elevation gain. You'll encounter magnificent Giant Redwoods, Trilliums, over four types of Ferns, Elk, Waterfalls, Creeks, Big Leaf Maples, Giant Skunk Cabbage, Western Hemlocks, and much more. This hike offers an incredible experience! We gather at the Trillium Falls parking lot trailhead, where you might even catch a glimpse of our local Roosevelt Elk herd grazing in the field.
The trail meanders through towering redwood groves and climbs fern-laden hillsides. Due to the elevation gain in the first half of the hike, we classify this as “intermediate.” However, the breathtaking view of a stunning waterfall at the summit makes the moderately strenuous trek more than worthwhile. Surrounded by lichen-covered Big Leaf Maples and the soothing sounds of creeks, you'll feel as though you've traveled back to the age of the dinosaurs.
