Nice trail with lots of shade. Be prepared for the slope though. Get two cars and park each at different entrances. This helps you enjoy the full trail (about two hours).
Extremely limited parking, yet I managed to score a spot at noon on a Tuesday during the holidays. The Redwood loop does not disappoint, beautiful stands of redwoods that are picturesque. Connects with Purisima Creek Trail, a shaded and well groomed trail for hiking and mountain biking. There is a pit toilet at the intersection of the Redwood Loop and Purisima Creek trail. Parking is free but limited to a handful of spaces, even along Skyline.This side of Purisima is much less crowded than the west end.
Nicely maintained trails. Lovely redwoods and a small creek on the purisima trail. From this parking lot (no fee) the trail is one large hill down. So make sure to save your energy for the walk uphill the whole way back. There is a pit toilet and picnic table near the start of the trail.
Good trail. My day was wet. Will return for the full trail. Nice redwood tree foster.
Challenging hike. 2 miles down hill to the creek, which means it's a 2 mile hike back *up hill.* Beautiful scenery, deep in the woods. Make sure you're fit enough for a long up hill hike before you attempt.
