Trillium Fall is a beautiful little waterfall at the Redwood forest. There aren't many waterfalls in the Redwood forest, thus Trillium Fall has been a popular attraction for tourists to visit. Trillium Fall is located at Redwood Prairie Creek State Park and the hiking trail starts at Elk Meadows. While you are at elk meadows, you could often see elks around the area. However, do not try to approach the elk and they are still wild animals and could be dangerous when they feel threat.
We went to Trillium Fall in the afternoon and surprisingly there weren't many people. We started walking down the hiking trail and saw many people on the trail as well. The trees are just beautiful along the trail.
This trail is actually quite short with only 2.5 miles round trip distance. Trillium Fall is located about 0.5 miles from the trail head and we got there quite fast within 15 minutes. We saw people climbing down under the bridge to get a more clear shot with the waterfall. Just be very careful not to slip on the rock.
Once we hiked past the waterfall, the hiking trail starts to get boring and not as exciting. All we see were tress and trees and tress. It also looked like not many people went past beyond the point of waterfall. So we were pretty much hiking on the trail along beyond the bridge at waterfall.
After an hour, we finally completed the trail and got back to the parking lot. The exciting part is that when we got back to the parking lot, we saw a herd of elks enjoying their food on the grass field!
Overall, Trilium Fall is a must visit place at Redwood forest, but it is not that exciting once you are past the waterfall.
