This hike travels through grand old-growth Sitka spruce, western hemlock, Douglas-fir, and redwoods. This hike can be done as a day trip, or get a backcountry camping permit to stay at one of 10 backcountry sites (with toilets and fire rings). Descend to prairie bald spots and sweeping ocean panoramas. With all the berries, look out for bears!
