Sugar Bowl and Redwood Creek Loop Trail Description
The Sugar Bowl and Redwoods Creek Loop Trail takes you through the sequoia grove, boasting an enchanting experience. Wander amongst the shade of looming redwoods and sequoias that so famously adorned the terrain and revel in the grandeur of these monstrosities. Compared to most groves in the area, this route is more secluded and sees less traffic, so we love this trek! Make sure to charge your camera, so you can take the typical photo in front of the sequoias! Note entrance to the park costs $35USD per vehicle or $20USD per person for pedestrians or cyclists.
