Easy, 2.7 mi Lollipop
157 ft elevation gain
Hiked 3/13/25
An otherworldly hike (Star Wars Endor scenes were filmed nearby) among behemoth Redwoods, this hike is located along the Avenue of Giants and should not be skipped. After getting lost in the splendor of this wild section, you’ll reach the 346 ft tall Founders Tree which is awe inspiring.
A hiker stands at the base of the Founder’s Tree; a massive 346.1 ft behemoth with a 12.7 ft diameter and a 40 ft circumference. Many other large Redwoods are also in the surrounding area.

A magical grove of Redwoods near the start/end of the trail. The Rocivante (my van) may be seen in the distant center as a white dot in all of the green and brown.
