Big Trees

Very nice hike. There are not many views, but the forest is very diverse and looks great.
I went on a rainy Sunday, started at 8am. I haven’t met anybody until 10.30am. The full loop took me about 3 hours.
The parking is on the street, there is plenty.
The hike is steep at times, but overall I’d rate it as moderate.
I haven’t seen any wildlife except for birds and lizards. I saw many lizards were right on the trail. They move slowly (not your mountain lizards), so need to watch out not to step on them.
The hike is very green overall. There is a lot of shade. Very pretty and relaxing.
I think it’s a great hike in the woods, just 1 hour from San Francisco. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal spot! Great views and wonderful trails.

Love this hike. It's glorious no matter what season we're in.

Love this trail. Trees aren't massive, but landscape is varied, many branch trails and great views

I think this was my favorite hike of the year so far. Gorgeous vistas, stands of redwoods, mist-covered spider webs, a dozen sightings of California Newts, and a good hiking companion. What more could I ask for. (OK, so maybe I'll have to return when the wildflowers bloom :)
