For an all day hike, descend the staircase to Redwood Creek in the second parking lot. Check with the Visitor Center for bridge conditions; it is closed for Coho Sa lmon spawning season. Climb uphill for 2.2 mi/ 3.5 km, crossing and paralleling the Deer Park Fire Road out of the redwood forest and through exposed grasslands. Follow your map and signs to the Stinson Beach. Turn around and take in the views once more, on your way back.
