Oregon really does have it all: waterfalls, caves, beaches, canyons, temperate rainforests, and also some of the most glorious old-growth forests in the country. In fact, the redwood forests for which California is well-known actually extend into Oregon! You’ll find old-growth redwoods in the Rogue River-Siskiyou Forest near Brookings, and one of the best trails to see them is the Oregon Redwoods Trail. You’ll hike among the world’s grandest giants on the Oregon Redwoods Trail, and it’s an experience you must add to your bucket list.

The redwood forests of California are wondrous, but did you know that they actually extend into Oregon?

It's a well-marked, 1.7-mile trail that's rated as an easy hike. The first half mile is paved and not difficult to navigate; the rest of the trail becomes a bit more steep and rugged.

This hike is absolutely worth conquering any difficult terrain, however. The trail itself feels like something out of a fairy tale fantasy, with its verdant foliage and towering forest giants.
