Redwood National and State Parks Essentials

This selection covers the core of the Redwood National and State Parks, a UNESCO World Heritage site protecting nearly half of the world's remaining old-growth coast redwoods. The list spans from the northern Jedediah Smith Redwoods to the southern reaches of Redwood National Park. Highlights include the fern-draped walls of Fern Canyon, the newly accessible Grove of Titans, and the 1,500-year-old Big Tree. Visitors can observe Roosevelt elk in coastal prairies and explore diverse ecosystems ranging from inland river groves to rugged Pacific overlooks.
