Oh, how we love the North Coast. Home to lush foliage, rugged scenery, hidden beaches, and endless natural beauty, it’s easy to be blown away by what it has to offer. Northern California’s coastline is home to more hiking trails than we can count, but there’s one, in particular, you should check out for an easy, family-friendly adventure. The Yurok Loop Trail is home to some of the region’s most impressive scenery and it is an absolute treat to explore.

We swear, sometimes the beauty of the Northern California Coast is almost too good to be true. Step onto this easy loop trail along the coast and you'll probably feel like you've entered another world...

Located halfway between Crescent City and Klamath, the Yurok Loop Trail is easily accessible from Highway 101. From the highway, take the turnoff to Lagoon Creek and follow the road to the day-use area. At the west end of the day-use area is where you'll find the trailhead.

The Yurok Loop Trail is short and sweet at just a mere mile long. Although brief, this hike definitely packs a punch by treating hikers to unbelievable views of the coast and the scenery that surrounds it.
