Redwood Regional Park
Level 3.5; Miles – 6.5, Elevation – 850' / Host: Todd P.
Redwood Regional Park is a host to Coastal Redwoods towering over 100 ft tall, as well as California Bay Laurel, Coast Live Oak, Big Leaf Maple, Willow, Black Walnut, Eucalyptus, and many fine trees. The hike will take us up the Stream trail, deep into the Redwoods on the French Trail, then cross over to the east side of the park through the Eucalyptus grove, for a beautiful walk back on the East Ridge Trail.
