Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Redwood National and State Parks, located along the coast of Northern California, encompass over 139,000 acres of lush old-growth forest, pristine rivers, and rugged coastline. It serves as a sanctuary for the iconic coast redwood trees, some of which reach heights exceeding 370 feet. The parks offer spectacular opportunities for hiking, camping, and wildlife observation. Not only a natural wonder, the parks also contain significant cultural heritage sites of the local Native American tribes. Visitors can explore the meandering trails that lead through silent groves of towering giants, past lush ferns and vibrant wildflowers. Historical exhibits within the parks portray the rich history of the region, including the logging industry that once threatened these majestic trees. Outdoor adventurers are drawn to the parks not only for the forests but also for the chance to see animals such as Roosevelt elk, black bears, and the endangered marbled murrelet. The blend of breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife makes Redwood National and State Parks a haven for nature enthusiasts and photographers.
