A Hike To The Boy Scout Tree Redwoods State Park
A hike to the Boy Scout tree in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in Northern California near Crescent City. It is a 5.8 mile out and back kind of hike with a small amount of elevation gain. The Boy Scout tree is over 20' diameter. It is a double tree resembling the two finger boy scout salute. And... NO, Dennis did not actually hit a golf ball or anything else in the park.

The Redwoods had always been something we’d really wanted to see. My mom still raves about their majesty decades after her visit to them in her pre-parenthood years. We’d seen pictures of course of the huge trees – the men rappelling down them, looking like ants in comparison to this gargantuan tree.
But – like we’ve found elsewhere in our travels – pictures did not do it justice!
Since the park was so long, we started our exploration from Crescent City, CA. We stayed at the Crescent City KOA (link to video review) which was just a few miles from Jedidiah Smith Redwood State Park. Our first stop was at the Visitor’s Center to figure out what we should see and do, and get acquainted with how this partitioned park worked.
We found the Jedidiah Smith Visitor’s Center seemed a little biased toward their section of the park – which I think is the case for each of the segments! How can you blame them? They loved their trees.
They recommended that we drive Howland Hill Rd, hike Stout Grove and to Boyscout Tree.
HOWLAND HILL ROAD
This was the first thing we did, and it was amazing. As an introduction to the big Redwood trees, it met and exceeded all of our expectations of Redwoods National Park. Seeing our 1-ton Dually Truck be absolutely dwarfed by the trees gave us chills!
STOUT GROVE
Hiking beneath the canopy of these giants was very different – it could be a beautifully sunny day, but it does not penetrate to the forest floor unless the angle is steep enough. We arrived at the Stout Grove trailhead early in the morning, at the perfect time to have the sunlight stream diagonally through the trees. Everyone on the trail was quiet, walking slowly, gaping in awe.
BOYSCOUT TREE TRAIL
This trail has everything – big trees, lots of trees, and REALLY big trees! The Boy Scout Trail ranks as one of the top showcases of old-growth redwood forests in existence. It is nearly 240ft tall and is a double-stem tree, meaning two trees have fused together, with a combined width of over 23ft. It's big.
SLIGHTLY SOUTH
We moved slightly south down to Klamath and stayed at Kamp Klamath right on the Klamath River about a mile from where it empties into the ocean. This put us closer to Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. We initially wanted to try to hike to Tall Trees where some of the tallest trees in the park are. Hyperion – the tallest tree at 379ft tall - is not too far away. However, the folks at one of the visitors centers pointed out that they are the tallest trees, but not necessarily the biggest/widest, and it is hard to tell how tall they are from the ground – plenty of other “nearly just as big” trees can be found elsewhere in more accessible places.
For Tall Trees you need to get a permit, and we were told it’s easy to get. You just have to show up and ask for it. But it was a several mile drive on rough roads that would take a few hours, then a few hour hike out, then back, then a rough drive back. We didn’t have very promising weather during the time period we were there, so we opted to go to ..... ......

Camping in the Redwoods - Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park
We decided to take a road trip to Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park in Northern California.
We stayed two nights at the state park campground. It is highly developed with heated restrooms and warm water showers.
The site is a bit pricey at almost 35 dollars per night.
They also had cabins which were $100 usd per night.
Some friends also joined us on this trip, and although there wasn’t much to see except for the trees, it is definitely a must see and should be on everyone’s bucket list!
