Redwood Loop Trail

The Best of Big Basin Redwoods

Interpretive Trail on Opal Creek, East Waddell Creek, Blooms Creek in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Coast Ranges near Boulder Creek, CA

The Redwood Loop is Big Basin’s main attraction. The wide, level trail winds around an alluvial floodplain where two creeks join and the biggest trees in the park grow. Like most southern redwood forests, the woods are dominated by a dense understory of huckleberry and tanoak that screens views of the trees. Above the shrubs, however, the forest has an expansiveness that hints at the cathedral-like look of the northern redwood flats.
