This road was absolutely the best part of our whole Highway 101 trip. Absolutely cannot miss. Our little wimpy car did great. It is a dirt road, but absolutely passable by mid to small vehicles (no motorhomes, trailers, etc.) Mosquitos were a little heavy, but we enjoyed it from the car. Drive slow, and enjoy it.

This is a great scenic route. You can park along the road and hike. We hiked down to the Boy Scout tree and to the falls. The view is great, but the roads are narrow and pothole filled. Drive carefully.

The idea of driving through a near pristine State Forest of old growth redwoods sounded great. We also are not afraid of bad roads, but this road is one lane full of pot holes and very few pull outs. The most unpleasant thing about this drive is that there are far, far to many people on it and as stated very few places to pull over. If I were to do this drive again I would go between 6Am and no later than 9 AM. Then perhaps you can enjoy the sights from this very bumpy road, of the old growth redwood groves without constantly backing up, pulling over, being pushed and covered by tons of fine red dust
