Greetings from Redwood National & State Parks

Back in 2009 we embarked on a national park road trip. In 34 days we visited 14 national parks. (Even took in some state parks along the way.) Since then, we have had a burning desire to repeat that trip only to make it longer. We were amazed every day at this National treasure

Sincerely,

Redwood National & State Parks

Redwood National and State Parks protect a primeval landscape where the world’s tallest living organisms, towering coast redwoods, thrive. Visitors can feel small as they stroll in the shadows of these enormous trees and explore rocky undeveloped beaches, fern studded canyons, open prairie, oak woodlands, and fog-filled river valleys. These diverse habitats support myriad wildlife and plants, including several rare species.

State(s): California

Established: 1968
