About Redwood National Park

Redwood National Park is a coastal preserve in Northern California that showcases the world's tallest trees within a diverse ecosystem spanning 140,000 acres. The protected lands include the national park and affiliated California state parks, collectively preserving nearly 45 percent of all remaining old-growth coast redwood forests. The park's signature giants tower over 350 feet in height and create a unique maritime environment that includes pristine sandy beaches, rocky tide pools, river valleys, and native prairies. Wildlife such as Roosevelt elk, seals, and numerous bird species inhabit the varied habitats. Four developed campgrounds managed by California State Parks offer year-round accommodation, and the park provides over 200 miles of hiking trails, scenic drives, and visitor centers for exploration and education.

Redwood National Park, CA, United States

How to get to Redwood National Park

The park stretches approximately 50 miles along Highway 101 in Northern California, located about 6 hours north of San Francisco and 6 hours south of Portland. Crescent City, just 4 miles from the northern park entrance, provides lodging and services; Del Norte County Airport there offers limited commercial service for fly-and-rent options. Orick to the south is the gateway to Fern Canyon and Elk Prairie. RV travelers should note that the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway and Highway 101 accommodate most rigs, but Davison Road to Fern Canyon prohibits vehicles over 24 feet, and Tall Trees Road limits RVs to 21 feet maximum.

Best time to visit Redwood National Park

Summer months from June through September offer the most favorable conditions with less rainfall and warmer, drier weather ideal for scenic drives and hiking. However, coastal fog frequently shrouds the redwood groves during summer, and peak season brings larger crowds to trails and campgrounds. Shoulder months of April-May and October provide mild temperatures and lower visitor numbers, though brief rain showers are possible. Winter visits from November through March are the wettest period but offer solitude and the park's lush forest landscape; visitors should monitor road conditions as winter storms occasionally cause temporary closures.
