Grove of the Patriarchs Loop — Sunday, Jun. 30, 2019

We were warned that this trail gets really busy during the daytime so we decided to head in early and got to the trailhead at. 7:30am. There were 3-4 cars in the parking lot. It took us about 45mins to complete the trail. Got to see some incredibly tall and wide ancient Douglas Firs and Hemlocks. They’re magnificent! There’s also a stream you can reach. Water was super cold so we didn’t get in but would be great on a warm summer day.

Note: you need to cross a small suspension bridge to get to the old trees. Follow one person at a time instruction for a safer crossing. There’s a note on the way in off to the side but there’s none on the way back.
