Trillium Falls Trail

Trail on Prairie Creek, Skunk Cabbage Creek, Johnson Creek in Redwood NP, Coast Ranges, Klamath Mountains near Orick, CA

The Trillium Falls Trail circles through a remnant strip of old-growth redwoods next to a sawmill site. The grove was apparently left as a sort of ornament for the mill; there’s a similar but smaller patch of old growth next to the sawmill site in the Mill Creek Watershed of Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park.

The trail features a small waterfall near the beginning and a very attractive stand of big redwoods at about the midway point. The forest here doesn’t have the unusually light foliage, bark, and groundcover of nearby Prairie Creek; the redwoods are darker and more varied, giving the woods a pleasing and more conventional appearance. There are quite a few good-sized trees and no stumps. Throughout the hike there’s the constant whoosh of cars from Highway 101.
