The cabin has everything you need and was very interesting having been an old church. It is as close as you can get to some of the sights in the Redwoods. It was only a 10-minute drive to the trail to see Fern Canyon and the elk herd at Elk Meadow. There are several great trails nearby. The Cathedral Trail is not too difficult and gets its name from the awe-inspiring trees you see along the way. We went back a second day and did the trail twice. The city of Orick itself has no gas station and only one small restaurant that has limited hours, so you need to gas up and get supplies before arriving. Trinidad has several nice places to eat, gas, and a decent grocery. There is also a small museum there that is worth the time if you like history. We walked the trail up to where the lighthouse used to be. It was a fairly easy walk and from up there you get a beautiful almost 360-degree view of the historic fishing village of Trinidad and the beautiful coastline.
