This short, easy loop should definitely be on your list of things to do when you visit Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. 
The towering Coastal Redwoods can be as intimidating as they are awe-inspiring as you move along the trail.  Because there are fallen trees, visitors also get to see some of the root balls that are massive!
