We did this lovely hike on a foggy day. Like all the hikes through the redwoods, this was full of the majestic redwoods, other greenery, moss, and spectacular scenery. The hike wasn't long and was a pretty easy loop.
What a beautiful trail that takes you to old growth redwood trees, which is exactly why we visited the northern California coast. The tallest trees in the world can be found around these parts and Lady Bird Johnson Grove makes it accessible to find these gems. We visited Redwood National Park and our first stop was at Lady Bird Johnson Grove that's easy to get to once you're in the national park. It's a very popular trail, so parking can be hard even with a private lot, but we were able to find street parking nearby, which is where a lot of cars end up parking. Once you're in the lot, you walk on a pedestrian bridge that crosses over the street that you just drove on to get to the other side where the grove starts. The grove is a 1.4 loop and is a very easy and flat trail, so is accessible for many. As soon as you make your way along the trail, you'll see old growth redwoods everywhere, giving you a neck cramp because you can't help but look up the entire time. Eventually, you'll see a plaque about Lady Bird Johnson who visited this grove, to highlight the need of conservation and preserving our redwood trees. I can get on board with that! If you're visiting Redwood National Park and are looking to find old growth redwoods on an easy and flat trail, this one is key. Get here early to avoid crowds and find parking. Beautiful grove.
Leaving early from our hotel in McKinleyville, California (06:00), my wife, her mom, and I arrived at our first stop of the day (06:37) at Lady Bird Johnson Grove. This is the start (and end) of the relatively flat 1.4 mile loop trail, walking through a pedestrian land bridge that goes over the road that we had just come through (Bald Hills Road). That being said, we didn't want to exhaust Mom on our first stop, so ended up walking over the bridge but stopping before the start of the loop. The parking lot is paved, with spots for about 25 cars or so, with us being the first car there. It has outhouse style bathrooms. We were able to see downed old growth redwoods here, and marveled at how thick redwoods are. It's one of the few areas of the park where cell service was available, so my wife and I ended up playing a bit of Pokemon Go while we walked, leaving some in 2 blue and 1 yellow gyms. A bit of history: Redwood National Park was established in 1968, and the park dedication was done here the same year. The following year, the grove was formally dedicated in honor of Lady Bird Johnson. In 1980, the park was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of twelve natural sites in the US.
Out of all the Redwood National Park trails, I think this is probably my favorite one. Here are some of the reasons why this is hands-down a must visit if you're in the area: - I think this is the most representative trail of what you imagine the Redwoods to be like. The entire trail is full of these 150+ foot redwoods surrounded by mist. It really makes you contemplate your life especially among these magestic vegetation. - The trail is relatively easy to hike as it is pretty wide and doesn't have many elevation changes. - There are a lot of park benches that have very great placement so that you can just be silent and listen to the sounds to the redwoods. I love that you can hear the drip of the water from the redwood branches onto the ferns as well as different types of birds chirping. - Coming here during the wintertime in the afternoon also didn't seem to be too bad as I think there's a certain beauty with the mist. Also, parking was not a problem at all. Overall, I could not recommend this place more in your next Redwoods visit!
Loved this trail. It almost had an Erie feel to it because of the fog and mist. It was an easy walk. There are different posts labeled 1-13 throughout the walk that we were able to get enough service for to look up online to find information about throughout our walk. We would recommend doing this as it gave us a lot more information about the trees than we would have otherwise had.
This turned out to be one of my favorite hikes on my trip to the Redwood Coast. It is located in Redwood National Park. Lady Bird Johnson Grove is a 1.5 mile loop trail that gives you an intimate look at a mixed forest of redwoods. The trailhead is a few miles off the 101 and has a small parking lot. It is dedicated to Lady Bird Johnson (the former First Lady) for all of her conservation and environmental work. There is a bridge at the start of the trail. The trail itself is pretty easy to walk. You are able to walk through a second-growth forest into an old-growth redwood forest. A forest that has been logged once and has grown back it is called second-growth. The trees here are very dense but thin because very light gets in the area. Because of its high elevation, Lady Bird Johnson Grove can have some fog and is far from any traffic noise. My favorite things about this grove is how shady it is, the ferns all over the ground, and the moss growing on the branches. It is such a beautiful relaxing hike. I enjoyed taking lots of photos with my DSLR camera. There is a dedication plaque to Lady Bird Johnson in the middle of the hike. Dogs are not allowed on this hike.
Make sure you bring water. It's a long trail . But it's super beautiful and worth it. So many awesome things to see and climb. We really enjoyed the entire trail. It was beautiful weather out when we went and I would say the trail does get a bit slippery in some places so make sure to wear some good shoes.
20 years ago, my bride-to-be and I took a road trip north to the redwoods. We stopped in Orick at a small diner, and enjoyed a quick breakfast while our server gossiped with a few regulars and kept looking out the window at her small-town arch-nemesis who was meandering around the business across the two lane highway. And I remember that as we drove north out of town, we saw signs for Lady Bird Johnson Grove, and made a shared mental note to check it out someday..... It took two decades, but we finally made it there-- married, with three kids in tow. The steep road to the grove heads pretty much straight up the mountain, and quickly you find yourself at 1000 ft. of elevation from Orick below (which is well within a tsunami danger zone at just a few feet above sea level.) The first thing you'll see to signal your arrival is a wooden footbridge traversing the Highway overhead; parking is just past tue bridge on your right. The grove preserves a few old growth redwoods amidst a sea of second-growth forest. The area is very beautiful and serene: the green of the redwood canopy, and the dense forest beneath of rhododendron, clintonia, ferns, and sorrel. Here and there, various mushrooms and fungi grow. Chipmunks, banana slugs, and salamanders can be found on the forest floor, with various birds singing in the trees. This is a good place for a peaceful walk on the relatively flat hiking path, or use this as a starting point for one of the connected and more strenuous hikes in the area. A beautiful place that thankfully will remain preserved for generations.
Amazing! It was our first experience walking through a forest on the west coast and it was everything and more! It gave us an active workout, especially walking with a four year old! I ended up having to carry him for half our walk. The trails are kid friendly but can just be lengthy for those little legs. There are many scenic spots for pictures. Be prepared to carry your trash with you to the entrance of the park! There are bathrooms there too.
From the looks of the parking lot, this is a busy spot! And if we didn't know better, we would have been left thinking the trails were going to be packed. If this is you, I'll tell you now to not worry. Most people don't walk the entire trail. I saw many with dogs (not allowed) stay near the parking lot, others crossing the bridge and reaching the first few trees to take selfies and turn back. After that, the maintained trail loop is sparse with people. The loop is short, and worth walking - if you drove all that way to park, then why not?
Stopped off Highway 101 to stretch our legs. Beautiful park with an abundance of majestic Redwoods. Small parking lot. Long wooden bridge takes you up to the trails. Would highly recommend!
This was my first stop in Redwood National Park. The drive here isn't too bad, taking Bald Hills road off 101. The trailhead is well marked and it's about 2.5 miles down the narrow, windy road-which isn't too bad-just be courteous for others coming the other way. There is ample parking at the trailhead and two pit toilets (not the best but also not the worst.) For a sunny Saturday, it wasn't all that crowded so it was a peaceful 1.5 mile loop. Easy trail but not to be missed for the serenity and history-it's a great introduction to the park if you're coming from the South. There is an interpretive map that you can pick up at the trailhead and I advise to meander the path, read the various placards and soak in the beautiful forest. All of this is absolutely free! No entrance fee for day use to the park or various trailheads-so no excuses to come out and enjoy!
Beyond beautiful! Absolutely amazing! So amazing that I am unable to upload most of my photos because they are "too large" for Yelp. Lame! We took a drive up to Crescent City, and we stopped here to walk around for a bit. Parking was a bit scarce (had to wait a few minutes for someone to pull out of the lot) with maybe 20 parking spots total? There is no charge to walk into this park, and if you want to take a souvenir pamphlet, they ask you to leave $1.00. The pamphlet points out 13 distinct areas along the trail (each one numbered on a wooden post) and gives descriptions on what you are looking at. The walk around the trail is a little over a mile. My mom walks with crutches, so it took us awhile longer than normal, but I had no complaints. The trail is flat for the most part, and the only steep hill is right in the beginning of the parking lot. Even then, it's not a hard hike at all. My mom made it the whole way around. They have benches you can rest on along the trail if you get tired. The coastal redwoods are simply amazing! Words/pictures don't even do them justice. They are SO BIG! 10-15 feet around, and 300 feet high. This grove has them all over the place. Even the small ones, are huge! Besides redwoods, there are wild flowers, ferns, and other trees all along the path. There are quite a few hollowed out redwoods along the path that you can stand inside. These trees burn from the inside out, causing them to hollow out. You would think that they would collapse, but they are so structurally sound, they still hold up. It's an awesome sight to see! If you are driving up the coast, definitely stop here. You can walk the trail in about 30 minutes and be on your way. It was absolutely beautiful and I hope to make it back again someday soon.

I was looking for an easy rated hike to do along the way home during our summer roadtrip and saw the Lady Bird Johnson Grove trail pop up as a suggestion. We stayed in Crescent City the night before and drove here first thing in the morning as we were warned that parking is limited at the trailhead. Old Bald Hills Road is completely paved from the highway to the trailhead but very windy and steep. Try not to ride your brakes on the way back down! The parking lot has a pit toilet and probably about 12-20 spots max. We got there before 10AM and nabbed a spot. It nearly filled up in the next 10 mins after we arrived! You start your hike by going over a bridge over the road you just drove up and are under a beautiful green canopy the entire hike. The morning we visited was a little foggy and misting. Really made for an amazing atmosphere. Unless people are around you, its also very quiet and peaceful. We didn't download the audio tour so we're not sure what the numbered spots were about, we just walked and took pics...and enjoyed the cool wooded path. I think we were milling around out there for at least an hour. Maybe more. I hate spiders but the cobwebs along the trail/trees/bushes looked amazing holding the morning dew inside their woven patterns. Good for older kids and adults. Not sure if the super young ones should come - lots of areas for them to bolt and run off the trail into the underbrush or down a hill. read more
I planned to come here because some things I read said this was a wheelchair accessible hike. In speaking to the rangers at the visitor center, they said it was not accessible. I came anyway, and my wheelchair bound son was tired from a whole day of exploring so he stayed in the car with my middle son. My oldest son, husband and I went on the trail and while it is wide enough and flat enough for a wheelchair, the initial incline from the pedestrian bridge from the parking lot is quite steep and I know my son would not feel comfortable going up and down in his power wheelchair. There is also a point during the trail where the trees are quite close together and I doubt my son's chair could navigate through it. So it worked out that he decided to rest in the car. The trail is very pretty with unique growth, I saw a tree with 4 trunks attached together. The trunks of the trees here look different than the trees in the valley, (my husband and I thought the trees looked sick TBH), and there is a lot more flowers growing here. Overall it's a lovely trail and offers a relaxing walk through nature. read more
This is a fantastic grove with an easy walking trail of 1.4 miles. I have info at the end for those of limited mobility. The entry is a beautiful bridge that passes from the parking lot into the main grove. There is a gentle uphill approach of about 100 feet, followed by mostly flat walking trail. The trees are absolutely fantastic. It is almost wheelchair accessible. Specifically: the trail is very level. Any up/down hill is short enough that pushing a wheelchair or using a motorized wheelchair seems doable. There is one spot on the left side of the loop where the trail passes through 2 trees and it is likely too narrow for a wheelchair. Also note that the trail is dirt with gravel, so precipitation may make it less passable for those using wheels. read more

I visited the Lady Bird Johnson Grove. located within Redwood National Park one misty morning. You drive up about 2.5 miles up a paved road - which locals tell me is a logging road. I'm assuming the road leads to some private land inholdings or other non-National Park lands - past the Lady Bird Johnson Grove. On the way out - going down the mountain, I was behind two logging trucks loaded full. The parking lot itself is not very large. I managed to get a spot and started the hike to the loop trail. I was not paying close attention, but if I had to guess - hiking in, the loop trail, and then back out - maybe 1.5 miles total? Words seem insufficient to describe the experience. Anyway, the trees are breathtaking and gorgeous. Large, massive, tall, wide, beautiful, magnificent, ancient, majestic - are all adjectives I would use to describe these gorgeous Redwood trees! I took some photos and video - but even those fail to give one the total experience of what it's like to stand next to these trees. I spent most of my time in silent appreciation and observation of these trees; Feeling their bark. It's definitely a natural high to visit here! #LadyBirdJohnsonGrove #RedwoodNationalPark #NationalParkService #NPS read more

Nice, calm trail. Nothing too strenuous. Definitely an all-age friendly trail. It's approx a 1.5 mile loop. Glad my bf and I were able make a little pit stop before going back home. Plus, it was FREE. There is no excuse for you not to come and visit. Please, please remember to take your trash with you and let's try to preserve our beautiful redwood forests. Would highly recommend. You will for sure endure the presence of the majestic giants! read more

How could you not give the beautiful Redwoods five stars. Lady Bird Grove is a short hike but well worth it. There were no streams or water sounds, but plenty of birds sounds. It always amazes me all the people around the world that know of these secluded off the road hikes, we met friendly people from all over the planet. The parking lot was getting full when we arrived around 1:30 pm on a weekday. A great free outdoor adventure in the Redwoods of Humboldt County. read more
This is a beautiful loop trail through original growth redwoods with a lush understory and, if you're lucky, beautiful rhododendrons. It is an easy trail, accessible to most, and mostly level. You get to the trail via Bald Hills Road near Orick. The road is paved, but being a former logging road, is steeper than normal and tight -- don't try it with a trailer. This is one of the few roads you can use low gear on your car for. Ironically, it's not super windy, so for the most part it's not a worrisome drive. There's a generous parking lot with bathrooms at the trailhead. A beautiful wooden bridge crosses Bald Hills Road to start the trail. An interpretive brochure provides descriptions for several numbered posts along the way, although the information is pretty basic if you've been to the redwoods much at all. We came here in late May and for the first time lucked out and were here when the rhododendrons were in full flower. We went crazy with pictures! These are not small flowers in the understory, but huge pink/red blooms rising 20 or more feet high. You can get some nice pictures with the flowers mixed in with the native redwoods. But whether the flowers are in bloom or not this is a gorgeous trail and well worth your time. And since it's a short less difficult trail, almost all can enjoy the beauty of the redwoods. A walk along this trail will be many times more rewarding than the drive-through tourist trap "mystery trees" often found in redwood country. read more

We stopped for a quick trail hike and was not disappointed. There were bathrooms and they were eco friendly so no lights or running water but still clean with locking doors and a hook for hanging jackets or bags. The trail was well maintained and very beautiful. Would recommend as an easy trail for any type of adventurer. read more

An easy and beautiful hike! We were on a rainy drive up the coast and were hoping for the weather to clear a bit so we could get some hiking in. Fortunately, it dried up a bit so that we could take this hike. It's a windy couple mile drive to the parking lot of the trail -- be careful of oncoming traffic! There's a trail guide for $1 in a little box near the trailhead, and you definitely want to grab one of these. There are numbered signposts that correspond to the guide which explain different phases of the forest and the various life stages of the trees. There was hardly anyone else on the trail when we were there (it did start to drizzle a bit but the trees provided some cover), though the parking lot had started to fill up as we approached the end of the trail. This was a really lovely stop on our drive and I highly recommend it if you are going up or down the coast! read more

We saw sequoias and redwoods in all sorts of different locations during our trip to this area. We went on this trail, though, and we're blown away!!! The trees on this trail are taller and wider than any we had seen anywhere else! We ventured down off the path to get a closer look at gorgeous trees we'd spot, we walked in and around giant hollowed out trees, we explored the centers of massive rings of trees...With the giant trees and lush greenery all around, it felt like we were on a different planet. Amazing! This is a good one for the kids, too. Lots of hideaway places to explore and the trail is pretty flat. There was a gaggle of almost half a dozen kids on the trail the same time we were, and they were having a blast. A must-see for the whole family. read more

We went to Lady Bird Johnson Grove the evening of our hike at Prairie Creek State Park. The loop is about 1.5 miles and takes around an hour to complete at a slow touristy pace. If you are looking for an easy hike through the forest or have small children then this is the place for you. Even though it doesn't have as large of trees as Prairie Creek, It is one of the prettiest groves you will see and the trees are still really freaking big! The sea mist was rolling in when we were hiking and I took some amazing pictures. I hope to add them when I finish downloading from my camera. Highly recommended! read more

Great introductory trail/walk for Redwood lovers! This walk has various trees along the way that you can stop and read about with the trail map (labels in front of each tree). At the beginning of the trail, go left (it's a loop) if you go left the numbers ascend instead of descend. This was paved, easy to drive to, parking was a little bit of a nightmare.. people ended up parking on the side of the road, we waited for a spot. There are restrooms at this trail. My husband and I enjoyed taking breaks from the main trail following little paths made by others. This place is active, but also private and quite serene. Bring water with you and sunscreen. There are benches along the way, we saw one couple with a picnic--pretty cute! This was one of our favorite places we went to for exploring hollowed our trees. Take your time and get lost in the best kind of way! read more
