🥾Portola Redwoods State Park🏞️ 8 miles Hike Green🌲 Exercise

Hello Nature Lovers, Let's meet new friends go for a green exercise wellness hike, enjoy redwoods tress and most shady trails, no bikes and no dogs, just us hiking together, with fresh mountain air, water falls, for our physical health and mental well-being😇

It’s no secret that some of the best redwood trails are located on the Central Coast. But while a few of the parks like Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park attract big crowds, there are others that you might have never even heard of before. Portola Redwoods State Park is one of those hidden gems!

It is a wonderful place to escape the summer heat. With a dense forest and 50 inches of rainfall per year, the trails within this park stay cool even when the summer temperatures start picking up.

The park 2,800 acres drops from a ridgetop into a deeply shaded redwood forest, offering a hushed getaway from the suburban bustle of nearby Silicon Valley and the South Bay Area. The visitor center, with its couches and fireplace, feels like a wilderness lodge. Eighteen miles of trails follow meandering creeks, where moisture-loving coast redwoods stand tall among ferns and huckleberries. Waterfalls on Fall and Pescadero creeks tumble down mossy banks over rocks and woody debris.

It's tucked away in a remote mountain forest that can be difficult to reach. The windy Road is the only road that goes in and out of the park. The drive to Portola SP can be a bit nerve-wracking as you’ll need to drive along several narrow mountain roads with steep drop-offs below.
