Spending two days hiking through Humboldt Redwoods State Park was an incredible experience! Walking among the towering giants was awe-inspiring and deeply calming. Wearing high socks and long pants are essential for protection against poison oak, mosquitoes, and ticks. The highlight of our trip was the quest to find the elusive Stratosphere Tree—finding it was tough but an exciting challenge. This adventure is something me and my hubby will cherish and I recommend you adding this to your travel plans.

The survived old growth is mind blowing. It’s a national legacy and treasure. Founders grove has great educational pamphlets. The visitors center is really excellent. We enjoyed riding e bikes through the Avenue of the Giants from our campground to a nearby cafe and various trailheads. Riding through those trees is incredible. Car drivers were good about passing slowly in the opposite lane.

Such a beautiful, humbling place. Some of these trees are over 1000 years old. To be in such an ancient forest with these giants has me speechless. I literally don't have the words for how incredible it was. A must-see, especially for those of you that have a spiritual connection with nature. My soul feels so full. We were only there a few hours, I wish we could've stayed the whole day or even been able to camp there. Highly recommend.

This short, flat, family friendly walk will blow your minds. My kids and I loved it. Pictures and videos cannot do reality justice here. It feels like you're in a prehistoric forest, just waiting for a dinosaur to walk into view. Don't miss this!!!

Trust me when I say this, I have camped several places (state parks and national parks) in the Bay area in the past 3 years, this is by far one of the best places to camp in the redwoods. The fresh smell of air, the rays of the sun hitting you through the tall trees, and the chirping of birds in the morning are simply the best.
