The Pygmy Forest is cool and a little eerie, but the walk down to Fern Canyon is spectacular. Fern for sure, but the Coast Redwood, so special.

A very unique place. The slow growing Pygmy forest is full of endemics and you really have to slow down to see the diversity. Winter is the time to see the mushroom diversity and appreciate the lichens in their most open states

Gorgeous trail with a junction where you can make some decisions about how long you want to hike. We did a 4.6 mile loop that had one water crossing. The huckleberries were popping! We also came across fresh bear scat on the trail so stay aware.
There are signs reminding visitors that there are NO DOGS allowed. We saw one group with a dog who decided the rules didn’t apply to them. Please do your research before bringing your dog to a trail.

Amazing view, was warned it was 6 miles. Saw a sign that said 2.3 and thought it would be short. 3 hours later after many beautiful views, sweating, swearing, and chugging water we emerged back at the parking lot. If you do the loop, be prepared to walk through water and a lot of up hill.

Fun place, the pygmy forest is pretty interesting. Apparently some of the stick trees are cypress trees which are as old as the giant ones you see closer to the ocean. But the unique soil conditions have lead to intense stunting of the trees’ growth. It’s pretty cool to read about, there is an elevated boardwalk which loops through the main section of pygmy forest with plenty of interpretive signs. Also several places to stop and rest. The boardwalk is very close to the parking lot, but we made a 5 mile loop out of it taking the Fern Canyon Trail and then back up an old logging trail. The loop part was just as nice or better than the pygmy forest boardwalk, as it gets you deep into the redwoods. The trail doesn’t seem to be used very much and there is some detritus around the trail (which is also partially overgrown in spots with ferns), so it adds to the feeling of being far away from civilization. Come in April or May to see the rhododendron bloom. Somewhat difficult to find, the sign along the road is very small, and not well marked. Just use Google Maps to find.
