A majestic grove of redwoods next to the Smith River in the northern part of the park. Referred to as the "heart" of the park, renowned for its cathedral-like density of massive redwoods, including the 340-foot-tall Stout Tree.

A trail in the north that has an elevated metal boardwalk to protect the forest floor. Interpretive waysides explore the area's human and natural history. Close to the edge of the forest, leading towards the coast line.

This short but dramatic drive passes through historic Requa, CA, leading to the Klamath River Overlook, which sits 650 feet above the Pacific Ocean. From this breathtaking vantage point, visitors can enjoy whale watching, bird viewing, and stunning coastal panoramas.

This scenic and rugged drive climbs a steep 15% grade, passing through old-growth and second-growth redwoods. It connects sites like Lady Bird Johnson Grove and Tall Trees Grove, with this area being used for animal viewing.

Named after the blooming trillium flowers and a cascading water fall. The area is also known to have elk wandering through, and the view of Elk Meadow. The meadows and trails are lined by spring flowers.

In this area, ancient, sometimes gray-colored coastal redwoods lead directly to the ocean. The area protects a steep transition zone with Douglas fir and Sitka spruce before reaching the coast.

Gold strikes throughout the redwood region were common in the 1850s and 60s. Gold Bluffs Beach was said to be covered with bright and yellow gold. Some called it the “richest diggings in California”. In fact, separating the gold flakes from the black sands was expensive.

The North Pacific ocean can be seen from the Redwood Highway, which passes between this and a freshwater lagoon. A great place to stop and spend a day, but can also be experienced through a peaceful, scenic drive.
