Hiking along the southern Oregon and northern California coast often means the coastal trails. But there are nearby trails in the mountains and along the many rivers that offer great day trips, or several days of continuous hiking and camping.  Favorite inland hikes include the Rogue River Trail, plus the Illinois River Trail.   Of course, there is nothing like hiking through the California Redwoods.

Many of the hikes include GPX, KMZ or KML downloadable files. KML and KMZ files will open in Google Earth to display the hike. GPX files are uploadable to a GPS device. Every attempt has been made to be accurate, but it cannot be guaranteed. If you find information that is not accurate or needs to be updated, please contact us. Sending GPX files would be appreciated.
