Redwoods National and State Parks

Redwoods National and State Parks ranks first on the list of best places to see redwoods in California. The tallest redwood trees in Northern California can be found in Redwoods National and State Parks, which are located north of San Francisco. Because it's at least a five-hour drive from San Francisco, this is an excellent spot for a weekend getaway. The Redwoods National Park and State Parks are a collection of parks located along 40 miles of rugged California coastline, just south of the Oregon border. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park are among these parks.

If you're looking for scenic redwood drives, this is another great spot to see the redwoods from the road. Howland Hill Road, Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, Cal-Barrel Road, and Davison Road are a few redwood drives near the parks. If you have limited time, don't miss the 0.5-mile Trillium Falls Trail, the 1.5-mile Lady Bird Johnson Loop Trail, the 1-mile Simpson-Reed Trail, or the 2.5-mile Prairie Creek Foothill Trail Loop. If you have a full day, the 12-mile James Irvine Trail to Fern Canyon Loop is one of the most beautiful trails in the area and will provide you with a diverse view of the parks' natural beauty.
