Pre-Order Hike the Parks: Redwood National and State Parks

By 2 Comments

Hike the Parks: Redwood National and State Parks guidebook. Best hiking trails in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, plus coast/beach trails.I loved writing Hike the Parks: Redwood National & State Parks, my new all-color guidebook coming out June 1 from my long-time publisher Mountaineers Books. I lived in Crescent City and rural Del Norte County from 2000-2005, so I know the area very well. I’d done all the hikes before, some a dozen or more times, but of course I hiked them all again — and fell in love with them all over again.

    Just enjoyed devouring your latest book on our beautiful Redwood Coast area, which was an autographed gift from Brad and Mary Kay Williams who attended your talk in Redding. I hope you get a chance to visit Trinidad and environs sometime. We have lived here since 2016, volunteering with Trinidad Museum, Trinidad Coastal Land Trust, making local friends, all in order to learn local hike secrets! I’d love to see some of our hikes praised. From our modern paved bicycle-friendly Hammond Trail just South of us, to our own beach, Redwood Forest and bluffs trails.
    Strawberry Rock trail in Trinidad, Moonstone beach with tidepooling, the rock arch near Pewatole you didn’t mention on State Beach, College Cove reputed as a nude beach, Old Home beach, Baker Beach, Houda Point with all its year-around surfers, Loeffenholtz Beach, Elk Head trail culminating on a high bluff overlooking seal covered rocks South of Big Lagoon area, and now Trinidad Head includes the working Lighthouse grounds open the first Saturday of every month, with tours inside the Lighthouse itself from 10:00 – 12:00. (I’m a summer docent).
    Strawberry Rock trail is the site of an old quarry abandoned out of respect to Native culture, decades-old Coast Guard helicopter crash remains, and two tree sitter camps in the canopy. The culmination is the rock itself, rising alone over tree tops, presenting rope assisted ascent to an amazing 360 view over the village of Trinidad 2 miles away, and the Pacific beyond.
    Oh, and we do have Redwoods South of Patrick’s Point Park. Here in Trinidad along ocean-hugging Patrick’s Point Drive to the North, and crumbling-into-the-sea Scenic Drive to the South, which was the old 101. Even an entire Redwood Park, a municipal park next to Humboldt State University in Arcata. And Redwood Acres Park with a great zoo, in Eureka. Then Grizzley Creek, and Avenue of the Giants…
    I’m referring to your opening introduction to Trinidad on page 47!
    You have a whole new area to explore! Great option for a long weekend!

      D’Lorah, you are absolutely right — there are lots of great hiking opportunities in and around Trinidad. I wish I could have included more, but my publisher wanted me to focus specifically on Redwood National & State Parks. I’ve done some of those hikes in the past when I lived on the North Coast. You definitely picked a beautiful place to live!
