Redwood National and State Parks

The combined parks contain 53,000 acres of protected land, housing an extensive network of old-growth coast redwood trees, ferns, and diverse wildlife species.

The National Park Service established this protected area in 1968, consolidating three California state parks to preserve the remaining ancient redwood forests.

Native American tribes, including the Yurok, Tolowa, Chilula, and Wiyot peoples, maintained deep connections with these forests for thousands of years.

The park network offers 200 miles of trails, multiple campgrounds, visitor centers, and educational programs throughout four distinct California climate zones.

The parks contain specimens of Sequoia sempervirens reaching heights of 380 feet, making them the tallest measured trees on Earth.
