"The redwoods are ambassadors from another time!" - John Steinbeck
Redwood National Park, a hidden gem within the Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP), remains a mystery to 98% of California visitors. Concealed within this wilderness are some of the tallest trees on the planet, dwelling in ancient coastal redwood forests. The park's remote and untamed nature makes it a sanctuary largely untouched by massive tour buses and commercial traffic, offering one of the most captivating adventures in California.
While giant redwoods and sequoias share similarities, they're distinct species. Let our enthusiastic outdoor guides unveil the wonders of these forest titans as we journey through Redwood National Park.
Accompany your expert guide on hikes to witness not just the tallest giant redwoods but also some of California's oldest, dating back 2000 to 3000 years. Imagine, a California redwood standing at an average of 379 feet (116 meters) tall—taller than a football field's length—with bark up to 4 feet thick and a 34-foot diameter, truly the world's largest tree.
Beyond Redwood National Park, explore other enchanting off-the-beaten-path state and national parks in the Redwood Empire. Immerse yourself in the Mystery Trees, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods Park. Opt for thrilling side trips to Confusion Hill, witness the best Victorian homes in Eureka, uncover Klamath's Natural Wonders, marvel at Patrick's Point State Park, Crescent City, or explore hidden canyons where scenes from Jurassic Park were filmed. Traverse the 'Avenue of the Giants,' where your guide will drive you through hollowed-out redwood trunks! And for an epic culinary experience, dine at Samoa Cookhouse—the oldest restaurant in California and the West—serving authentic countryside meals.
This exhilarating outdoor escapade is a must-see, a unique journey that deserves a spot on everyone's bucket list!
