    Boyscout Tree Trail
    Great hike! Giant tree marked with a sign. You can not see it from the trail. There is a small trail to the right that is easy to miss.

    Tall Trees Trail
    This hike was absolutely amazing with beautiful redwoods, the biggest I have seen! I will tell you, though, that it was NOT easy. I would rate it moderate, for sure.

    Skunk Cabbage Trail
    This is a great, comfortable, and beautiful hike on a trail that is not that crowded. Def go to the beach and pack a lunch for a nice picnic when u get there. Just give yourself enough time to hike back bf dark, or bring a headlamp.

    Gold Bluffs Beach Loop via Miner's Ridge Trail
    Amazing experience walking throuhg old growth forests with the majestic redwoods. Ferns were everywhere, and honestly actual Fern Canyon itself was a little bit of a let-down compared to what we had been hiking through but still very fun because of all the water crossings on logs and stones. Ending the trail with a beach hike on a pristine beach was the perfect way to complete a hike that had a bit of everything.

    Coastal Trail Skunk Cabbage section
    Beautiful hike. Nice walk in the woods. No crazy climbs. And then took the extra hike to the beach which was totally worth it. Trail was well maintained and easy to follow. Would def recommend for a nice day hike.

    Flint Ridge Hike
    Trail head was not marked and it is very overgrown at both ends of the trail. When you get to the beach side of the trail head there is no place to sit and eat lunch, so you might want to plan your lunch for somewhere in the middle. The beach side is very disappointing. Definitely won’t be doing this trail again but hopefully it will get some much needed maintenance and development at some point.

    Stout Grove via Stout Memorial Grove
    Easy stroll through the Redwoods. Park like setting. Incline to and from the parking area. Must do. Worth every second.

    Te-wo-Lew trail (6/18/20, 12:14:35PM)
    Use to be an old road that is overgrown with brush and lots of thorns. The side hike was even worst and had to turn around as the trail disappeared.

    This is a great loop of old growth redwoods. A tree called Stout Giant is along the trail and is awesome example of a giant tree that is over 2000 years old or more.
