Hope Creek and Ten Taypo Loop GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is a great place to visit some old growth redwood trees. The Ten Taypoo and Hope Creek Loop is a short hike through some of these very pretty redwoods. The terrain in this area is incredibly lush and green and the moss-covered trees make it a cozy and enjoyable hike. You can see a wide variety because the trail ascends from a gully to a higher-elevation ridge. The trail is easy to follow and well-maintained, complete with a built-in wooden boardwalk. Just across the street is the lovely Ossagon Trail.
