There are so many great hikes in Redwood Regional, but one 3 mile loop (moderately strenuous) gives you a little of everything--forest, chaparral, views and streams. Start at the Trudeau Training Center on Skyline Blvd and head to the Dunn Trail. Take a right at the first fork and hike until you reach the Montiero Trail; go right. Take the next right onto the Golden Spike Trail. After you cross a creek, you will connect back the the Dunn Trail on the Serpentine Prairie, a beautiful meadow with serpentine rocks scattered through it. Then you're right back where you started!
