Just east of the visitor center, the Prairie Creek Trail offers an easy walk where big redwoods love to congregate, in the flats along a broad, sheltered creek. Watch for spawning salmon and steelhead during the winter and early spring months. It’s 1.4 miles from the visitor center to Big Tree, a little farther to Corkscrew Tree. But you don’t have to go that far: you’ll see wondrous sights all along the way.
