My girlfriend and I live in Florida. We love to visit California and explore their Parks. Some of our fondest memories are in The Humboldt area. Hiking in the Redwood Forest is like living in a fairy tale. We love it!
Sincerely,
Redwood National & State Parks
Redwood National and State Parks protect a primeval landscape where the world’s tallest living organisms, towering coast redwoods, thrive. Visitors can feel small as they stroll in the shadows of these enormous trees and explore rocky undeveloped beaches, fern studded canyons, open prairie, oak woodlands, and fog-filled river valleys.
