Lady Bird Johnson Grove Trail - Hiking area in Orick - Bald Hills Rd, USA

I went to the Tall Trees Grove, Grove of the Titans, and many other smaller groves across the greater Redwood area and this is my favorite. There is a paved parking area and a nice bridge over Bald Hills Road to get to the grove. There are restrooms and interpretive signs as well. There are some very impressive trees here and a high concentration of Redwoods.

In my opinion, this is one of the most magical rainforests on earth. I came at the perfect time. Fog in this grove is wild. This has been one of my favorite places since I was kid. I can't say enough about this beauty and the photos speak for themselves. *The drive up to the grove is very steep and long for such an incline. My car did not like it much, so be warned. The parking lot is small and in high demand. I was lucky when I arrived at 10am, because it was almost full. When I left at noon, people were circling. There are restrooms in the parking lot. The paths are wide, smooth and well maintained. This is a short walk with a gentle slope/grade. Depending on your level of mobility, I would say this is pretty accessible compared to most outdoor parks of this sort. **PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE This is a national park and prestine. Read the signs, follow the rules. DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED! Have some respect for this forest. And if you can't do that, I don't know why you're here, but do it for visitors who want an uninterrupted visit. There are thousands of parks that allow dogs, go there. Dogs bark. Dogs poop. Dog dig holes and kick up dirt. Dogs pee. Dogs fight with other dogs if other disrespectal visitors are present. Owners are audibly scolding undisciplined dogs. Leave your dogs at home or in the car. Enjoy the time you visit, don't take it for granted. We don't know how long this will exist. To wrap it up, I highly recommend anyone and everyone to venture off 101 and experience this magnificent wonder of the world. It's the best presentation of the redwoods that Northern California is known for.

I did this hike first thing during the morning and it was well worth it since you get to see it all by yourself and it only takes 30 minutes to an hour to see everything at your own pace! The hike was pretty easy and definitely worth visiting! Highly recommend it!

Easy hike with well maintained trails. Large old growth redwoods with easy access for less hard-core hikers. President Nixon did something good!

Great to visit if you want to go to Redwood but not do any hiking or anything too physical . The parking lot gets full but people come and go quite frequently. It's an easy walk (normal shoes are fine) and you can certainly find yourself in a totally silent section. Well worth a visit and I spent about an hour here.

An incredible trail not to be missed. Can be hiked by most as the trail is well maintained and not difficult. Amazing walk in the redwoods.

An easy hike with some of the most rewarding views you could ever ask for! The parking lot is tiny and fills up fast, so the earlier in the day you can get here, the better off you're going to be
