One of the more unique easy to moderate hikes I've done! I would recommend going super early in the morning as this trail gets very crowded (I went at high tourist season and got to the trailhead around 6am. By around 11am when I got back to the parking lot it was completely full). I added on the James Irvine and miners ridge trails for a longer hike into the redwoods, and walked back to the parking lot on the beach. The hike was light on elevation gain and full of giants. It's also good to note that the road to this trailhead goes along a rough dirt road and crosses several streams - I saw a few smaller cars struggling on the terrain, so if you have access to an SUV I'd use it!
