The Cathedral Trees Trail in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is a 3 mile out-and-back stroll through towering redwoods, leading to the impressive Big Tree. Alternatively, you can combine with the Prairie Creek / Karl Knapp Trail to make it a 3 mile looped trail. This easy and popular trail offers a peaceful escape into nature, perfect for birdwatching, hiking, or just soaking in the majestic forest vibes. Don't forget to leave your furry friends at home, as dogs aren't allowed on this trail. Just grab your hiking shoes and get ready to be wowed by some seriously big trees!
