A new guide to the Redwood Loop Trail at Big Basin Redwoods State Park has been published.

Written by a team of biologists and environmental scientists, it addresses the effects of the catastrophic 2020 fire on the park and the long-term changes to the landscape that it ushered in, including the impact on plants and animals in the park.

Copies of the free trail guide can be downloaded at the Santa Cruz Mountains Bioregional Council’s website, www.scmbc.org.  Because there is no wi-fi in the park, the council suggests that hikers download and print out the guide at home and then bring it with them.
