| Oregon Redwoods Trail--Barrier Free, along Peavine Ridge in the Winchuck River drainage, provides a unique barrier free day use hiking/wheelchair opportunity (having a wide travel way, acceptable grades and crushed aggregate tread surfacing) through a grove of majestic old-growth redwood trees. Interpretive opportunites will include old growth trees/ecology, fire history, wildlife viewing, and botany. Redwood trees found on the Chetco Ranger District represent the only coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) found in the Pacific Northwest Region, located at the limit of their northern range. The trail is an out/back design with a short loop at the far end, where a picnic stop is provided. A short wooden deck provides access to the inside of a hollowed redwood tree. This trail is 0.8 miles long at 1020 feet and is considered to be easy. |
