It's one of my favorite trails. I actually had to Google on whether or not there was also a John Irving trail. Did you happen to find any of the secret benches? There's one about halfway before the split and another one about a half mile above Fern canyon.

Secret benches? I took it all the way from Prairie Creek Visitor Center, through Fern Canyon, to the ocean and back. I do recall seeing at least one engraved/dedicated bench along the trail, but was unaware of any Easter eggs to look for.

That was my first time seeing the Redwoods, so I decided the highest rated trail was a good place to start and I was completely blown away wandering around amongst those stoic, majestic monoliths. Absolutely amazing.
