"What a wonderful hike. Hey. Important. Near the end, on the path there is a tree with an arrow to the right. See photo. You have to climb up a bit, but then you stand in front of the hugest Redwood Tree on that trail! The Boyscout Tree. That's youre goal. Forget about the small water trickling at the end. That Tree is the wonder"
"It's well worth seeing this spectacular tree. It's hard to believe it's probably been alive throughout the whole formation of the US of A. Just don't miss the turn off, it's not very apparent (marked with an arrow)."
"Our family almost made it the whole way but the mud was too much. The stairs were so slippery and the muddy trail was too dangerous to continue. We did see others who made it. It took us much much longer than anticipated. The trail was beautiful - Mt favorite were the open views and the “mother tree” where we got a fun family selfie."
"Loved this hike to the falls. Beautiful huge trees. Lots of roots in the ground. Pretty little waterfall. We heard owls on our way out."
"This is a beautiful hike, 5.6 miles round trip. There is parking for several vehicles and a restroom. The trail is well groomed with many bridges and wood steps. Excellent place to see the Redwoods."
