Easy to get to and an easy stroll through a very beautiful grove of old growth redwoods. A piece of history that could have easily been lost , but has been preserved in this grove.

The drive certainly is difficult and long, the hiking arduous and not for the faint of heart. The scenery, the wildlife, the surf, the creeks, the camping, the night sky, the company, the whole experience, is one I will look back on as one of the best in my life. Give yourself time to enjoy the experience, an extra day, if you can. Talk with or reference someone who has done the trip previously and use their suggestions for a wonderful journey into Northern California’s truly wild Lost Coast. The questions below don’t really apply...give yourself 4 or 5 days.

As others have already said, the falls were underwhelming. The rest of the hike, however, was an immersion into the Redwoods. It was interesting to start with so many ripe blackberries that we were kind of full starting our walk, and we thought it was going to be like the Lady Bird grove hike at the beginning as there was a steady stream of people. All of them seemed to turn back at the falls, however, so we had the rest of the 2 mile walk to ourselves. Unique to this hike was the change in elevation both for us as we walked and in the redwood floor, allowing us to really experience their dramatic size. The ranger also told us about a perfect chimney (hollow through the trunk, though with living branches) which was tall enough that an elk had come inside to scratch its horns. We didn't see or hear much wildlife, but we experienced the total quiet of winds gently rustling through the trees throughout the hike. The walk took us about 2 hours, including lots of stops for photos & just admiring the forest. It does have a bit of elevation and tree roots, so watching your step is important. Thanks to other hikers for leaving good reviews encouraging us to try it for ourselves!
