Featuring lush overgrowth and varying elevation, this Redwoods trail provides a more rugged experience than other trails in the area. While the trees are often skinnier than seen other places, they are generally in thicker groves, making this trail feel a bit more adventurous with more isolation.
The trail passing through a slot in a large Redwood tree, surrounded by other towering trees.
Looking up at two large Redwoods as they hold up their fallen friend.
A raised Trillium surrounded by a couple others. One thing I found interesting was that all of the Trillium I saw in the Redwoods had upper leaves that were well above the ground to maximize sunlight capture.
