Known as the home of the tallest trees in the world, Redwood National Park has fascinated me since I was a child. It has an amazing rugged coastline to explore, wild river-ways and has been hoe to people for thousands of years.

When to visit Redwood National Park:

Summer is high season in Redwood National Park, with most visitors heading here in June, July or August. The temperature is warm and, because of the large size of the park, it rarely feels crowded. Although summer is a great time to visit, Fall offers milder temperatures and is a beautiful time to visit the forest but just remember to bring layers and a rain jacket.

Visiting Redwood National Park

- How long? - You can drive through the park in around 25 minutes if you stick to the 101 but if you drive the Avenue of the Giants, it will take around 2.5 hours, including time for a walk around the woods and a picnic stop. We recommend planning at least a full day, if not two. With over 40miles of coastline and 133000 total acres, there is a lot to explore here.

- Location - The park is located in Northern California, around a 6 hour drive north of San Francisco. Most people choose to fly into San Francisco but you can fly into Arcata-Eureka Airport. This is a tiny airport so expect expensive and sometimes unreliable flights.

- Fees - There is no entrance fee for Redwood National Park but there is a $5 day-use fee for the nearby state parks.

- Get climbing - Every March, Tree Climbing Planet founder Tim Kovar, allows a limited number of visitors to climb into the tree canopy, up a grandfather tree; standing between 600 to 1000 years old.

- Drive through - There are three drive-through redwood trees along the Avenure of the Giants highway, however you are charged a small fee to drive through them

- Camping - There are four campgrounds within Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park but thee must be reserved by phone or online at least 48 hours before. However, you can book 6 months in advance to avoid disappointment. The standard camping fee is $35 but there are some basic cabins in the campgrounds which cost $100 per night during the summer.

- Stay near - Alternatively, you can stay near by booking a nearby hotel or lodge, such as the Holiday Inn Express, the Elk Meadow Cabins or the Lost Whale Inn.

- Also whilst you are in the park, there are some things that you can’t miss out on. - There are lots of amazing things to see and do in the national park. Don’t miss the Fern Canyon, the James Irvine Trail and the Gold Bluffs beach. You can also spot wildlife such as the Roosevelt Elk and the black-tailed deer.
