Redwood National and State Parks are a string of protected forests, beaches, and grasslands along Northern California's coast.

Redwood National Park is the biggest of this collection of parks and home to the largest concentration of redwoods. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park has trails through dense old-growth woods. Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is home to Fern Canyon, with its high, plant-covered walls and Roosevelt elk are frequently found in nearby Elk Prairie. Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park is half old-growth forest and half untamed Pacific coastline.

The city of Eureka is the heart of the redwood coast and most famous for its unique Victorian architecture, creative artistic culture, one-of-a-kind shops, restaurants, and artisanal businesses.

Gorgeous 31 mile scenic drive through Humboldt Redwoods State Park, with lots of groves to stop at and explore among the trees.
