Trail reviews for Redwood National Park
Must do hike in Redwood national Park. Very easy walk. Limited parking though.
We hiked from Tall Trees Trailhead to Camp 44 the first night, then hiked about 1 mile past Elam Camp until we found a spot on a gravel bar next to Redwood Creek for the second night, and finished at the Redwood Creek Trailhead the next day. It was absolutely beautiful, and we did not come across any other hikers on our second day. I do recommend packing water up to Camp 44 because there is not access to water. The seasonal bridges were gone, but it was easy crossing with water shoes. Highly recommend.
amazing Grove of redwood trees. Saw a small Spikehorn in the loop trail was not bothered by us at all.
Worth the drive and getting the required pass. Easy down and moderate back. With packing a lunch and enjoying it along Redwood Creek.
The trails are close to the beginning of the hike, and then there’s some sleep elevation through the giant redwoods
Well used trail through the redwoods. It’s beautiful!
