Only the mapped California portions are shown. Mileage is estimated from those lines, including mapped branches, and may differ from an official trail length. Disconnected lines are not instructions to cross unmapped land.
This route comes from community-maintained map data. Access, trail condition, difficulty, seasonal restrictions, and the route’s continuity have not been independently verified. Follow current official maps, signs, and closures.
Parks along the mapped route.
Links indicate a mapped boundary overlap, not confirmation that the park manages every segment.
A downed tree obstructs Boy Scout Tree Trail 1.75 miles from its trailhead; Alder Basin is closed for restoration. Miners Ridge is blocked beyond Clintonia Trail. Dolason Prairie is closed at Emerald Creek Bridge after bridge failure. Consult the current NPS trail table for exact limits and alternatives.
Lyon’s Ranch Trail and connected historic routes have intermittent prescribed-burn closures October 22–26. The eastern stairs between James Irvine Trail and Fern Canyon are closed for construction. Mill Creek day-use access has weekday restrictions, and the West Branch Road multi-use trail has a failed bridge west of Rock Creek Road.
Seasonal footbridges are removed at Redwood Creek, Stout Grove connections, Fern Canyon and Prairie Creek Nature Trail. The source lists an October 15–April 1 closure for Redwood Creek dispersed camping despite a conflicting “Open” label; confirm with the agency. It also reports a partial closure of 44 Creek Loop between markers 11 and 13.
The first Saturday of each month from October through May is a hike-and-bike day: the parkway closes to vehicle traffic while remaining available to walkers and cyclists. Consult the park for current arrangements.
