Fun trail, with streams, variety of redwoods and plants to see; ferns, salmon berries, blackberries, and a bench or two along the way. Stairs at the roadside is the starting place, near the water tank.

Had some pretty steep sections but was a very enjoyable hike. Great views at the top and a few creeks running across the trail.
