Redwood National and State Parks protect some of the tallest trees on Earth. Along California's north coast, coast redwoods rise more than 350 feet, and the forests here are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The parks are also known simply as Redwood Forest.
The park's address is 1111 2nd St, Crescent City, CA 95531, and the phone number is +1-707-465-7335. The listing places the park in New Orleans, but the address and the coastal setting show that it sits in Crescent City, in the far north of California, close to the Oregon border.
What a visit feels like
The forest is best approached slowly. Walking under the canopy, you are surrounded by trunks of great height and width, and the light and quiet change as you move between groves. Visitors who come for the scale of the trees often find that the most striking part of the experience is simply standing among them.
- Walk among the coast redwoods on the forest trails
- See the forest along a coastline shaped by the Pacific
- Plan a day trip or a longer stay in the north coast area
