Have you ever wondered what a ranger looks at when they go for a walk in the woods? You’re invited to come with us!

On Sept 19th, Ranger Ryan will be leading a 2-mile guided hike along the Redwood Creek Trail and Hillside Trail. The tour should last approximately two hours, ending at 12:00 PM. Redwood Creek Trail is almost entirely flat and consists of pavement and boardwalks. The Hillside Trail requires visitors to ascend a brief flight of stairs at the beginning and to descend another set of stairs at the end, but is largely flat throughout, sitting on the edge of a hill overlooking the redwood forest below.

There will be intermittent stops to discuss interesting aspects of the forest, ask and answer questions, and to provide water breaks. This hike is easy-moderate in difficulty depending on how comfortable one is with stairs. We recommend hiking boots, but tennis shoes will also work well. Please bring at least 1 liter of water with you on the hike. We look forward to seeing you!

In the meantime, here’s what to know:

• No pets allowed in the forest & participants must be over the age of 8, please. All those under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. 
• This event will happen rain or shine, so bring layers, sun protection, and water. 
• Must be able to walk briskly & over uneven surfaces.
• Registration is not required; please meet a ranger at the designated time and site. Participants will be capped at 30 on a first come first serve basis.
