What To Expect

Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park

Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is home to some of the world's tallest trees. The park features a visitor center, campground, day use area, swimming beaches along the Smith River and the popular Stout Grove and Grove of the Titans. The scenic Howland Hill Road winds through the park's towering redwoods along an old stage coach route. The narrow, unpaved road provides trail access to Stout Grove and Grove of the Titans.

Hiouchi Information Center

The Hiouchi Visitor Center features exhibits, a park store, passport stamps, restrooms, a picnic area and ranger-led activities. Check with a ranger about guided kayak tours on the Smith River.

Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach is one of the best swimming holes on the Smith River! The parking area is at the intersection of Highway 199 with South Fork Road. Just look for the Myrtle Beach parking sign. Take the short (quarter-mile), steep trail down to the clear, jade-green waters. There are pit toilets halfway down the trail. This spot is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, fishing, tubing...and even cliff jumping!

Stout Grove

This 44-acre group of giant redwoods in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park was named after Frank Stout, the former president of the Del Norte Lumber Company. His widow donated this land in 1929 as a living memorial to her husband. The easy, half-mile, loop trail meanders through 300-foot tall trees with an optional trail down to the Smith River. When you walk through the grove, please stay on the designated trail to protect this fragile habitat.

Grove of Titans Trail

The Grove of Titans is part of the National Tribute Grove in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and is home to some of the tallest trees in the world. This magnificent stand of redwoods just opened to the public in 2022. The park service constructed a 1500-foot-long elevated walkway through the grove. It not only looks amazing and allows visitors to gaze up into the canopy, but it also protects the habitat for future generations to enjoy. Roadside parking for the trailhead is coming up on the left. There are vault toilets across from the trailhead.

Crescent Beach

Crescent Beach, located just south of Crescent City, is a lovely three-mile stretch of sand with picnic areas and restrooms.

Crescent Beach Overlook

At the end of Enderts Beach Road is the Crescent Beach Overlook. This viewpoint offers spectacular views of Crescent Beach, Crescent City and Battery Point Lighthouse. It's a great place to watch for whales or come back for the sunset.

Enderts Beach

Park by the trailhead at the end of the road. Then, trek down to Enderts Beach–one of the park’s hidden gems with its dramatic cliffs and fascinating tidepools. The trail’s a moderate, 1.5-mile round-trip hike that ends with a short scramble down a big boulder. At low tide, you can get face to face with colorful starfish and anemones. However, if the tide’s up, you’ll wanna save this secluded beach for another time. And whenever you visit–pay close attention to the rising tide and keep alert for dangerous sneaker waves.

Trees of Mystery

Conveniently located right off Hwy 101, The Trees of Mystery is a popular tourist attraction dedicated to the majesty of the coast redwoods. Meander along well-maintained interpretive trails, explore their museum of fascinating artifacts, walk on skybridges up in the redwood canopy and glide through the forest on a magical gondola ride that takes you above the tree tops. The popular tourist attraction is a bit spendy, but if you have the budget for a splurge, we highly recommend it!

Yurok Country Visitor Center

Located in Klamath, the Yurok Country Visitor Center is a beautiful tribal interpretive center where you can learn more about Yurok history and culture, as well as pick up a few souvenirs.

Radar Station B-71

During WWII, the Coast Guard built Radar Station B-71 along the Northern California coast near Klamath as an observation station. But instead of using camouflage to hide the buildings, the Coast Guard ingeniously disguised the radar station as a farm. Hiding in plain sight, the "farmhouse" and "barn" secretly housed a power building and operations building. The station was part of a network of 65 coastal stations stretching from Mexico to the Canadian border.

Big Tree Wayside

Aptly named "Big Tree," this ginormous redwood is one of the oldest old-growth redwoods in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park! The giant is estimated to be around 1500 years old and over 300 feet tall. The tree is located off the Newton B. Drury Parkway and can be accessed by car via the wayside or by foot from the visitor center via the Karl Knapp Trail, Foothills Trail or Cathedral Trees Trail. The wayside features interpretive signs and restrooms and a short walking path to the giant tree. Don't miss this great photo opportunity!

Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park

Located on the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, the Prairie Creek Visitor Center features park information, exhibits, a bookstore, camp sites, restrooms and picnic area. There are a few trails that begin near the center including the short and accessible Revelation Trail as well as the popular Karl Knapp, Foothills and Cathedral Trees Trails. The historic building was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

Elk Meadow Picnic Area

The Elk Meadow Picnic Area features restrooms, picnic tables and trails. If you are lucky, you may even spot elk in the fields! If you do, remember to keep a safe distance (at least 50 yards) when viewing them. The Trillium Falls hike is a nice option. It’s an easy, one-mile round trip walk to a small, picturesque waterfall through peaceful old-growth forests. If you brought bikes, this area also has several paved trails.

Gold Bluffs Beach

The name Gold Bluffs Beach came from actual gold found in the sand! The glittering sand was discovered in 1850. Although many tried mining here at Gold Bluffs Beach–few were successful. The gold was so fine–extracting and separating it from the sand turned out to be extremely costly and time-consuming.

Lady Bird Johnson Grove

Lady Bird Johnson Grove features a family-friendly loop trail that winds through the forest and showcases a variety of ferns, colorful rhododendrons, and more tall trees. The grove is named after Lady Bird Johnson–the wife of former President Lyndon B. Johnson. The first lady championed the creation of a national park to protect the redwoods. Thanks in part to her efforts, Congress created Redwood National Park in 1968. In 1969, President Nixon dedicated this grove to Mrs. Johnson. The grove commemorates this special lady who left the world a more beautiful place.

Redwood Creek Overlook

Redwood Creek Overlook is located past Lady Bird Johnson Grove up in the Bald Hills. The scenic overlook stands 2,100 feet, or 640 meters above sea level. From that vantage point, you can see sweeping views of redwood forests and the sparkling Pacific Ocean in the distance. It’s an incredible spot to watch the sunset or gaze at the stars.

Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center

The Thomas Kuchel Visitor Center is the main visitor center for Redwood National Park and features exhibits, park information, a park store and restrooms. Behind the center, you’ll find trails to the beach. It’s another amazing place to look for whales or watch the sunset.
