Hiking the Oregon Redwoods Trail on the Oregon Coast
Distance: 2.0 miles / 3.2 km
Between the Redwood Nature Trail and the Oregon Redwoods Trail, I think most would agree that the Oregon Redwoods Trail is unequivocally better!
However, if you have the time while in southern Oregon to see both, I highly recommend it. Both Redwood trails are relatively short and could easily be seen in just one day.
Getting to the Oregon Redwoods Trail
One-way Road Distance: 4.0 miles / 6.4 km
Typically speaking, hikers are usually curious about the condition of the road to the Oregon Redwoods Trail, which can vary depending on the time of year.
During the drier summer months, the Peavine Ridge Road is nothing but a typical gravel road. However, during the wetter winter months, the road can become muddier and bumpier, making it less desirable for low-clearance vehicles.
I recommend calling the Forest Service in Gold Beach to learn more about the current conditions, including any information about downed trees on the road.
Oregon Redwoods Trailhead Parking
Parking for the Oregon Redwoods Trail is located at the very end of Peavine Ridge Road in a dirt parking lot adjacent to the trailhead.

Hiking Checklist - Oregon Coast
Black bears can be found up and down the Oregon Coast, but hiking with or without bear spray is truly up to your own discretion and comfort level when adventuring in black bear territory.
Furthermore, here is a complete list of must-have things that you will want for any hike on the Oregon Coast.
Hiking the Oregon Redwoods Trail
The Oregon Redwoods Trail is actually a collection of two different trails that form a roughly 2-mile (3.2 km) loop if you choose to do both.
Separately, they are the #1106 Trail at 1.1 miles (1.8 km) roundtrip and the #1107 Trail at 1 mile (1.6 km) each way.
#1107 Oregon Redwoods Trail Junction
At 0.1 miles (0.2 km), you can either go right to continue on the #1106 Trail or left to start the #1107 Oregon Redwoods Trail.
I went right, which is typically the direction most hikers seem to go.
#1106 Redwoods Loop
This is the ending loop for the #1106 Oregon Redwoods Trail, but if you want to hike the entire Oregon Redwoods Loop Trail, continue on the #1107 Trail at the back of the loop.

Right Loop
Oregon Redwoods Trail #1107
At the back of the #1106 Loop, the #1107 Oregon Redwoods Trail begins, which will return to the trailhead only 1.2 miles (1.9 km) away.
Once on the #1107 side, the Oregon Redwoods Trail winds its way through some more amazing old-growth Redwoods, up and down a few hills.
I never thought the hills were tiring, especially if you’re walking slow and taking lots of photos.
#1106 Oregon Redwoods Trail
This is the same #1107 Trail split from earlier, and the trailhead is only 0.1 miles (0.2 km) away from this point.
