Hike the Boy Scout Tree Trail
Redwood National and State Parks
A moderate hike with some steep grades and switchbacks.
A Moderate Hike In The North This rewarding hike though old-growth redwoods is popular for those in the north wanting a bit of a challenge. Located in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, a twisting but scenic drive leads to this 5.5 mile round trip trail. During the walk, you will follow riperean areas, see "Fern Falls" and lots of big trees. The shortest drive to the trailhead starts southeast of Crescent City at the Elk Valley Road. From this road you will need to take your vehicle east for 3.5 miles along the Howland Hill Road which is a dirt, windy road. Howland Hill Road is not suitable for trailers or motor homes. Trailhead parking is limited.
