Redwood National and State Parks

Towering coast redwoods, the tallest trees on Earth, dominate this misty landscape along California's northern coast. Some trees reach over 370 feet tall and are more than 2,000 years old. The parks protect 45% of all remaining old-growth coast redwood forests. Visitors can walk through ancient groves, explore wild coastline with sea stacks and tide pools, and spot Roosevelt elk grazing in prairie meadows. The fog-shrouded forests create an otherworldly, primeval atmosphere.
