• Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park - This park is renowned for its towering trees, among the tallest globally. Visitors can enjoy a center, campground, day-use area, swimming beaches along the Smith River, and the famous Stout Grove and Grove of the Titans. The picturesque Howland Hill Road, an old stagecoach route, winds through the majestic redwoods, offering trail access to Stout Grove and Grove of the Titans.

• Hiouchi Information Center - The Hiouchi Visitor Center offers exhibits, a park store, passport stamps, restrooms, a picnic area, and ranger-led activities. Visitors can inquire with a ranger about guided kayak tours on the Smith River.

• Myrtle Beach - Myrtle Beach is a top swimming spot on the Smith River! The parking area is located at the intersection of Highway 199 and South Fork Road. Look for the Myrtle Beach parking sign.

Take a short (quarter-mile), steep trail down to the clear, jade-green waters. Pit toilets are available halfway down the trail. This location is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, fishing, tubing, and even cliff jumping!

• Stout Grove - This 44-acre collection of giant redwoods in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is named after Frank Stout, a former president of the Del Norte Lumber Company. His widow donated the land in 1929 as a living tribute to her husband.

The easy, half-mile loop trail winds through 300-foot tall trees with an optional path down to the Smith River. Visitors are encouraged to stay on the designated trail to protect this delicate habitat.

• Grove of Titans Trail - Part of the National Tribute Grove in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, the Grove of Titans is home to some of the world’s tallest trees. This stunning redwood stand opened to the public in 2022.

The park service built a 1500-foot-long elevated walkway through the grove, offering breathtaking views and protecting the habitat for future generations. Roadside parking for the trailhead is on the left, with vault toilets across from the trailhead.

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

• Crescent Beach Overlook - At the end of Enderts Beach Road, the Crescent Beach Overlook provides spectacular views of Crescent Beach, Crescent City, and Battery Point Lighthouse. It’s an excellent spot for whale watching or enjoying a sunset.

• Enderts Beach - Park at the trailhead at the road’s end, then hike down to Enderts Beach, one of the park’s hidden treasures with dramatic cliffs and intriguing tidepools. The trail is a moderate, 1.5-mile round-trip hike ending with a short scramble down a large boulder. At low tide, visitors can see colorful starfish and anemones up close. If the tide is high, it’s best to visit another time. Always be mindful of the rising tide and watch for dangerous sneaker waves.

• Trees of Mystery - Conveniently located off Hwy 101, Trees of Mystery is a popular tourist attraction celebrating the grandeur of the coast redwoods. Visitors can explore well-maintained interpretive trails, a museum of fascinating artifacts, skybridges in the redwood canopy, and a magical gondola ride above the treetops. Though a bit pricey, it’s highly recommended for those with the budget for a splurge!

• Klamath River Overlook - Situated 600 feet above sea level, the Klamath River Overlook offers a breathtaking view of where the Klamath River meets the sea. For a closer look, visitors can hike half a mile to a second viewpoint. It’s a fantastic spot for whale watching or enjoying a sunset over the ocean.

• Yurok Country Visitor Center - Located in Klamath, the Yurok Country Visitor Center is a beautiful tribal interpretive center where visitors can learn about Yurok history and culture and pick up souvenirs.

• Old Douglas Memorial Bridge Site - Before turning onto Coastal Drive, visitors will see the remnants of the old Douglas Memorial Bridge. Built in 1926, the bridge once spanned the Klamath River but was destroyed in the Christmas Flood of 1964. All that remains are the iconic bear statues at each end. On Highway 101, the new bridge pays tribute to the old one with replicas of these original grizzly bear statues.

• High Bluff Overlook - Located on the Coastal Drive, High Bluff Overlook is another excellent spot for whale watching or enjoying a sunset. The overlook features interpretive signs, picnic tables, grills, pit toilets, and a vast view of the southern coastline. A short trail leads to even more stunning views below.

• 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. Ingeniously disguised as a farm, 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.

• Corkscrew Tree - Located off the Newton B. Drury Parkway, the Corkscrew Tree is a unique example of a fairy ring or cathedral tree. Four redwoods sprouted from one parent tree, twisting around each other to form a single sinuous trunk.

• Big Tree Wayside - Aptly named “Big Tree,” this enormous redwood is one of the oldest old-growth redwoods in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park! Estimated to be around 1500 years old and over 300 feet tall, the tree is accessible 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, restrooms, and a short walking path to the giant tree. It’s a fantastic photo opportunity!

• Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park - Located on the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, the Prairie Creek Visitor Center offers park information, exhibits, a bookstore, campsites, restrooms, and a picnic area. Several trails begin near the center, including the short and accessible Revelation Trail and the popular Karl Knapp, Foothills, and Cathedral Trees Trails. The historic building was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

• Karl Knapp Trail - The scenic Karl Knapp/Foothill/Cathedral Trees Loop Trail begins at the Prairie Creek Visitor Center and follows Prairie Creek north. About a mile in, take the spur trail on the right and follow signs to the “Big Tree.” Cross the parkway, then follow the Foothill Trail south to the Big Tree Wayside. From the wayside, choose the shorter Foothill Trail or the longer Cathedral Trees Trail back to the visitor center to complete the 2- to 3-mile loop.

• Elk Meadow Picnic Area - The Elk Meadow Picnic Area features restrooms, picnic tables, and trails. Lucky visitors may even spot elk in the fields! Remember to keep a safe distance (at least 50 yards) when viewing them.

The Trillium Falls hike is a pleasant option, offering an easy, one-mile round trip walk to a small, picturesque waterfall through peaceful old-growth forests. For those with bikes, this area also has several paved trails.

• Gold Bluffs Beach - The name Gold Bluffs Beach originates from actual gold found in the sand! Discovered in 1850, many attempted mining here, but few succeeded. The gold was so fine that extracting and separating it from the sand proved extremely costly and time-consuming.

• Fern Canyon Trail - A short walk leads to the entrance of this primeval-looking world, where scenes from Jurassic Park: The Lost World were filmed. Visitors can hike through the canyon and return through the forest on the loop trail or meander through the canyon both ways. It’s about a mile either way.

• Lady Bird Johnson Grove - Lady Bird Johnson Grove features a family-friendly loop trail that winds through the forest, showcasing a variety of ferns, colorful rhododendrons, and more tall trees.

Named after Lady Bird Johnson, the wife of former President Lyndon B. Johnson, the grove honors her efforts in championing the creation of a national park to protect the redwoods. Thanks to her advocacy, Congress established Redwood National Park in 1968. In 1969, President Nixon dedicated this grove to Mrs. Johnson, commemorating her contributions to preserving natural beauty.

• Redwood Creek Overlook - Located past Lady Bird Johnson Grove in the Bald Hills, Redwood Creek Overlook stands 2,100 feet (640 meters) above sea level. From this vantage point, visitors can enjoy sweeping views of redwood forests and the sparkling Pacific Ocean in the distance. It’s an incredible spot for watching the sunset or stargazing.

• Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center - The Thomas Kuchel Visitor Center is the main visitor center for Redwood National Park, featuring exhibits, park information, a park store, and restrooms. Behind the center, trails lead to the beach, offering another fantastic place for whale watching or enjoying a sunset.
