<strong>A Beautiful and Flat Trail In The North</strong><br /> <br /> If you are driving on HWY199 between Crescent City and Hiouchi, this easy and level walk is a good option for those short on time, or energy. The loop trail is 0.8 mile (1/2 km) long. Be aware that there is<strong> no parking for recreational vehicles or vehicles with trailers</strong>.<br /> <br /> Located in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, this trail takes you around redwood groves, creeks, nurse logs, ferns, hemlocks, huckleberries and a wide variety of other forest features and creatures. Interpretive wayside panels on the trail provide information on the natural and cultural history of the area.<br /> <br /> You can access the trailhead by taking the Walker Road exit off HWY 199 - this is a sharp turn to the north. There are yellow pedestrian crossing signs on HWY 199 going both ways before this turn off. For some drivers it is a sudden, hidden turn-off. After the turn-off, it is another 0.1 mile up Walker Road before you get to the trailhead on your right.<br /> <br /> The Simpson-Reed loop connects into a second, optional half-mile loop trail: The Peterson Memorial Trail.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Safety Tips</span></span></span> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">We recommend you purchase and use a good map and trail guide for your adventures in Redwood National and State Parks.
