Hike Boy Scout Tree Trail, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, California
This rewarding hike though old-growth redwoods is popular for those in the north wanting a bit of a challenge - both physically and logistically. Located in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, visitors should consider this as a half-day experience to access and then walk this 5.5 mile round trip trail. During this walk, you will follow riperean areas, see "Fern Falls" and lots of big trees.Logistically, this is a good hiking option if you are near Crescent City with a smaller vehicle and you are unable to drive an hour south to the other longer hiking trails in the parks. Parking at the trailhead may be limited, and in summer your vehicle will get very dusty.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.
