Northern California’s natural beauty has been revered internationally for its redwood forests, dramatic coastal cliffs, and stunning mountains. We love any chance we get to celebrate this stunning and unique place, and we love hitting the trails and seeing the spectacular Northern California landscape for ourselves.

That’s why we can’t get enough of this short and sweet trail located in Orick.

The Yurok Loop Trail is a short, 1.1 mile loop located near Orick on the Northern California coast. Coming from the south, It is just short of 7 miles north of the Klamath River bridge off Highway 101. From the north it is just south of Hidden Beach.
