Thing to Do
Walk the Lady Bird Johnson Grove
An Easy Walk Through A Famous Grove
This 1.5 mile (2km) loop is located ten minutes drive north of Orick on the Bald Hills Road. It is a popular first (or last) walk in the redwoods for visitors because it is on the southern end of the park.
Many people complete the whole loop and enjoy visiting the plaque dedicated to Lady Bird Johnson - who in her role as First Lady - actively promoted the protection and creation of natural habitats. An descriptive interpretive tour is availableon the park app.
The 2.5 mile drive up Bald Hills Roads to the parking area is windy, bumpy, and narrow - care must be taken because heavy trucks use that road. Because of the road's conditions RVs and trailers are not advised. The parking area has limited space and it often is full from summer mornings to late afternoon. Parking on the side of Bald Hills Road is not safe and not allowed.
Vault toilets are provided at the parking lot.
