Bald Hills Road
North of Redwood Creek, Redwood National Park, California
The ridge north of Redwood Creek is crowned with a series of meadows, locally known as prairies, providing fine views over the southernmost unit of Redwood National Park. Native flora and fauna, most notably a herd of Roosevelt elk, are begin restored to the prairies and the ravages of past logging repaired.
Several historic ranches are preserved within the park and hiking trails lead through the grasslands and down into the forest.
