March 28 & 30
We have looked at
Alfred A Loeb SP a couple of times when camping at nearby
Harris Beach SP, but for the first time we camped there for a few days to wrap up Spring Break.

| Time for camping.... |
 |
| and time to hike...... |
 |
| and hike some more! |
We began our hike with the 0.75 mile long River View trail as it follows the Chetco River upstream beginning at the day use area. Although short in length, it did provide great views of the river and worked it's way through a landscape of ferns & moss while crossing numerous runoffs. At the end of this trail we simply crossed the North Bank Chetco River Road where the
Redwood Nature trail begins. In the summer, little or no water flows through this 1.0 loop trail, but this is March and it has been a good water year. Thus we were treated to numerous streams with varying cascades, lots ferns and greenery, trillium's in bloom and of course, the beautiful and large Redwood trees. What a treat! So much so that we did this short 3.7 mile round trip hike twice in three days. Enjoy the pictures.....
