Headwaters Forest Reserve - Salmon Pass Trail

 
Salmon Creek TrailThe Salmon Pass Trail is located in the southern part of the Headwaters Forest Reserve, and is accessable only through BLM led guided hikes.
 
The first ½ mile passes through a young to mid-aged forest with views of restored watershed areas. The next 2 miles ascend through the old-growth redwood forest with a view across Salmon Creek to the largest stand of Douglas-fir within the Reserve. The trail then loops back as it descends through the old-growth. This hike is considered moderately strenuous and takes 3 to 4 hours.

Guided hikes can be scheduled between May 15 and November 15 (weather permitting) by contacting the BLM Arcata Field Office at (707) 825-2300. Group size is limited to no more than 20 individuals.
