“This trail climbs through beautiful redwoods to a high forested ridge.”

Description
After turning left onto Braille Trail, the trail begins to climb. This narrow trail twists and turns as it climbs to its endpoint on the high ridge. The climb is broken up into short sections that are flat, and that go uphill, steeply in some places. The entire trail is in the redwood forest, although towards the top, oaks, manzanita, and some firs are mixed in. The vegetation is dense along the trail, but not dense enough to prevent sunshine from seeping through.
Braille Trail ends on the high ridge, at the Ridge Trail 2.0 mile mark.
