Arcata Community Forest - Trails 1, 18, 9, & 3 Loop

Arcata Community Forest is a gorgeous mossy redwood forest trail system near Humboldt State. This particular loop trail is a moderate skill level trail, due to the 450ft elevation gain and then the somewhat steep decent. The trails are very well maintained and wide enough for young toddler to walk, but a carrier is very likely needed. The trail is good for 4-5 year olds to do alone, but youymay need to find a nice spot to stop andahave a snack during the biggest elevation gain (trail 9). And if your little needs to burn some energy after the hike, there is a playground and grassy field near the bathrooms.
