Redwood Creek Trail

Trail on Redwood Creek, Fortyfour Creek, Bond Creek, Tom McDonald Creek, McArthur Creek in Redwood NP, Coast Ranges, Klamath Mountains near Orick, CA

Easily accessible from Highway 101, the Redwood Creek Trail is the second most-visited trail in Redwood National Park, after the Lady Bird Johnson Trail. Despite its name, though, the trail has few old-growth redwoods: although the first few miles of the trail pass through unlogged forest, the redwoods don’t really grow along the creek where the trail is.

The most scenic and popular part of the trail is the first mile and a half, up to the first creek crossing. From this point on the trail is still attractive but a bit monotonous, and it’s visited mainly by backpackers. The trail is very quiet and peaceful, and easy to hike. While you can’t usually see the creek, you can hear it throughout the hike.
