overgrown and not maintained. large tree obstructing path (if you enter from south access point). reached the demartin pinpoint on the NPS map and there was nothing in sight (walked much further past the pinpoint and still nothing). no other trail sign indicators for us besides at the trail entrance. if you’re able to pinpoint a location on your map could you at least pinpoint it at its accurate location or at least a sign along the path indicating how many more miles.
lovely and well-maintained backcountry c/g that would be worth maybe a 0.25 mile trek in, but at 3 miles and nearly 1000 ft of gain (on a somewhat scenic but very densely forested trail), it’s not worth the effort.
Demartin was a second choice for us because Redwood Creek dispersed camping was full, but it ended up being awesome. The hike into Demartin is about 3-4 miles but is mostly through some enormous old growths. We had the trail entirely to ourselves on Memorial Day weekend. Make sure to wear pants if hiking there as the trail is not super-well maintained near the campsites and ticks are around, but overall this is a really amazing spot to backpack into if you're looking for a secluded spot to camp. The campsites had picnic tables and vault toilets. You need a permit from the Thomas Kuchel Visitor Center to camp here.
Trail was not well maintained which in turn does not help on the three mile uphill climb one way. Out of the 40ish miles we hiked while visiting Redwoods, these three in particular stick out as the worst. Not one star because the pit toilet was actually pretty nice all things considered.
