It may seem like a mouthful, but Redwood National and State Parks come as a package. There are so many spectacular reasons to visit this exceptional collection of parks—the three state parks of Prairie Creek, Del Norte, and Jedediah Smith resulted from early 20th-century protection efforts, and Redwood National Park, which encircles the state parks, was created in 1968 to further preserve the trees’ natural Coast Range habitat—none the least, the plentiful lodging options surrounded by the gorgeous landscapes.
Home to the tallest trees in the world, coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) can grow to nearly 270 feet tall and live for up to 2,000 years. This is their habitat, along the coast in Northern California, where foggy summer days keep them hydrated during the dry season. Walking among these natural giants is an awe-inspiring experience that cannot be replicated almost anywhere else in the world.
