This is a shady, secluded route between the West Ridge Trail and Stream Trail. There is a small offset between the ends of this trail at the junction with French Trail; trail users continuing between the upper and lower portions of the Fern Trail must turn left upon reaching French Trail, walk about 20 feet, then turn right to continue on Fern Trail.

Oak, madrone and chaparral predominate near West Ridge Trail. Below that, coast redwoods and California bay laurels predominate. Also ferns!
