Day Hike - Northern California Redwood National and State Parks

Linda Shewey's Redwoods trip posting generated so much interest we are adding additional hikes to accommodate more hikers!  We will post daily hikes from Wednesday, March 26th through Sunday, March 30th.

We'll continue to monitor the weather, trail condition reports, and park opening /staffing concerns, etc. as the dates approach. Please be open and flexible if routes need to be adjusted. Our aim is to get an overview of the area and explore as much of the 3 state Parks as possible during the five days. Linda has organized a kayak trip on the 27th that we believe is still open to join.

Participants are responsible for their transportation and lodging, although carpooling options to the trailhead can be arranged.  Lodging options will be discussed with participants but could include individual hotel rooms in Crescent city or a shared Airbnb.  Nearby airports include Eureka/Arcata (about 30 mi) or Medford, OR (100 mi).  Leaders plans to fly into Medford on Mar 25 and rent a car.   There will be options for dining together and sharing free time activities.

Redwood National Park does not charge entrance fees, but   Jedediah Smith, Del Norte Coast, and Prairie Creek Redwoods state parks collect day-use fees at developed campground entrance stations. These three California State Parks will honor the federal "America the Beautiful" pass.

Please reach out to Britt or Karen if you have questions, concerns, or suggestions. While our hikes tend to be a bit longer, there are options (via car shuttle/drop) on some of the hikes to do a shorter version if that would work better for you. 

8:30 am Prairie Creek Visitors Center - ready to hike!

Depending on the group's desires, we could easily meet in Crescent City and carpool.  Trailhead is ~45 min. from Crescent City.
