Dolason Trail

Trail on Harry Weir Creek, Redwood Creek in Redwood NP, Klamath Mountains, Coast Ranges near Orick, CA

The trail starts at Bald Hills Road, at the very top of the Redwood Creek valley, and descends an impressive 2300 feet to Redwood Creek. The audaciousness of this descent is immediately obvious, since the hike starts with stretches of open prairie that offer magnificent views over the vast Redwood Creek watershed, still clearly patterned in a sort of checkerboard pattern from 1960s clearcuts. Lower down, the trail enters sunny, bright old-growth redwood uplands, descending at an easy grade until it reaches the wide gravel bed of the scenic creek. There are a few really big trees on the way, but on the whole the redwoods aren’t actually all that impressive; big trees aren’t really what this trail is about.
