The Lady Bird Johnson Grove

Redwood National Park

We found the 1.4 mile Lady Bird Johnson Nature Trail in Redwood National Park very accessible. The trail was wide and free from roots and rocks. There were a few elevation changes adding a little challenge to the hike. Laurel pushed Kellisa for part of the trail. Kellisa also wheeled herself, she really enjoyed controlling her speed on several downhill portions. Losing control as she sped down a few little hills is probably more accurate.

 

Laurel enjoyed following our path on the trail map and really liked making the decision to go left or right when presented with the option. She put a lot of thought into it. She also used binoculars to look for birds and she was  excited when she spotted a few.

Many of the remaining redwood groves are protected in the jointly managed Redwood National and State Parks. It can be confusing at times because you don't always know if you're in a state or national park. The first time that we were positive that we were in the national park was when we hiked through the Lady Bird Johnson Grove. We found the trail absolutely perfect. It was wide, free of rocks and roots with some up and downs to make it a little challenging.
