Project: Purisima Creek Redwoods OSP
Redwood Trail
Activities: Redwood Trail is one of MidPen’s five easy-access hiking trails, suitable for visitors of all physical abilities, and the only one in a redwood forest. By brushing, raking, repairing drains, restoring the wheelchair-accessible picnic areas, and laying down base rock, the Trail Center will make this 0.3-mile path once again fully accessible.
Directions: Google “South Parking Lot, Purisima Creek Redwoods”.
From the north: from Highway 101 or I-280 take Highway 92 west, turn left onto Highway 35/Skyline Blvd, and proceed 6.5 miles south to small parking lot on the right.
From the south: from I-280 take Highway 84 west, turn right onto Highway 35/Skyline Blvd, and proceed 6.0 miles north to small parking lot on the left.
The parking lot has space for 10 cars. If it is full, there is ample parking along the shoulder of Highway 35; be mindful when opening your door and walking to the trailhead, as the passing cars might not slow down for you.
Additional Information: Participants should bring water, sunscreen, sturdy shoes, lunch and normal precautions against poison oak exposure (work gloves, long sleeved shirts and long pants). The Trail Center provides tools, training, gloves, and refreshments after the workday.
