I’m fortunate enough to have visited this park several times since I moved to the Bay Area but I still feel I can go there anytime. The loop trail is a great way to get introduced to the park and it’s beauty. For full experience, try to camp here (though reservations are hard to come by). It’s a “must visit” for anybody coming to the Bay Area.

Amazing walk through the woods. It's covered with the shade of trees so a hot day is pleasant too. Take a guided trip. The drive up to the Big Basin is nauseous_ a cautious for ones prone to motion sickness. The woods are worth the ride for a short day trip.

This is an beautiful park! We did the short trail, about a mile, which is a perfect jaunt for anyone. The terrain was flat and did not require exertion. We were able to see many redwood trees, which are simply awe inspiring. The gift shop was really nice. They even sell redwood starter trees! The staff was very knowledgeable and gave us suggestions on other wildlife preserves to visit in the area. There are options available for longer hikes. This is the perfect spot to spend an afternoon amongst some of the oldest trees in the country.

Being from the Northeast we have a lot of beautiful lakes, forests and meadows however we don't have anything to compare to the mighty Redwoods! We had a magical afternoon wandering through the park with great company, ended with a picnic lunch; a sandwich never tasted so good
