Humboldt Redwoods State Park Details
After years of logging in the early 1900s, very few natural forests remain in California. However, this 53,000-acre park is home to the largest old-growth forest on the planet. Almost 17,000-acres are protected redwoods, with 100 trees standing over 350-feet tall. You’ll also find the 4th tallest redwood (the Stratosphere Giant), the legendary Founders Tree, and even an Albino redwood (the Christmas Tree). The best way to see these massive redwoods is to drive down the Avenue of the Giants, a 32-mile route that makes eight stops along the biggest sites in the park. You can also go hiking (there are 100 miles of trails) or camping at multiple locations in the forest.
