    You had me at tallest trees in the world…read more Visiting this park feels like stepping into an ancient, enchanted realm where towering trees hush the wind and misty trails invite quiet awe. It's humbling, cinematic, and deeply restorative. Here's what makes this experience unforgettable: Home to the tallest trees on the planet, some stretching 370 feet and have stood for more than 2,000 years. Walking among them feels surreal, like wandering through a cathedral built by nature. Filtered sunlight, moss-draped trunks, and the scent of damp earth create a sensory-rich almost spiritual atmosphere. Fern Canyon is a must, a lush gorge with 50-foot walls blanketed in prehistoric ferns, famously featured in Jurassic Park. Other trails range from gentle strolls to challenging backcountry hikes, revealing old-growth forests, and coastal bluffs. The park isn't just forests. It embraces the northern California coast, with driftwood-strewn beaches and many areas remain quiet, offering a rare kind of solitude. Fun facts: best time to visit is Summer for best weather and accessibility, and there's no entrance fee. If you're drawn to places that blend grandeur with intimacy this park will linger long after you've left.

    Like so many people have told me, hiking through the Redwoods cannot be described but rather…read moreexperienced. I got to experience this for myself, as my husband and I are on a road trip from LA to NorCal and beyond for a combo work trip for him, and 50th bday spent in nature for me. We stopped in to the Thomas Kuchel Visitor Center and spoke with a friendly park ranger that gave us a map and suggested a hike for us. We stopped in another visitor center (Prairie Creek), where we spoke with another friendly ranger that gave us the more rugged option of said hike. The hike was absolutely beautiful, with Redwoods that go up, up, up. And all around the ground level are so many types of fern, lichen, moss, mushrooms, and other dense forest growth. We did a 3.5 mile hike, which was a great work out, and so scenic. But, my words will do it no justice. Go for yourself and experience it. And remember, leave no trace and pack it in pack it out. Long Live our National Parks!!!

    I truly wish I could give this place more than five stars. It is absolutely gorgeous!…read more It is very popular, and you have to make reservations in advance. If you want to make a last-minute reservation, a limited number of "next day reservations" do open up at 9 AM the previous day. https://www.nps.gov/redw/planyourvisit/ferncanyonpermits.htm. Also, it is a fee area. A $12.00 day-use fee per vehicle can be paid with cash/check (no cards accepted), America the Beautiful Passes, California State Parks Annual or Poppy Pass, or a current Gold Bluffs Beach or Elk Prairie Campground reservation. The road to the trailhead is dirt, as well as windy and narrow in a few spots, with a couple of very shallow water crossings. A regular car or motorcycle can do it just fine , but I would not try to do it in a vehicle that sits low to the ground. Once you are there, the beauty is stunning. The canyon is so peaceful, along with the vivid greenery and all of the ferns growing on the canyon walls that give it its name. It is a true slice of heaven on earth. Wear water shoes, and clothes that you don't care if they get muddy or wet. There are little wooden bridges, but there are spots where you are going to have to walk through the water. , There are some muddy areas, so be very careful that you don't slip. I slipped on one area, and when hiking back out, I just hiked through the water to avoid that area again. Even when you are walking through the water, it doesn't get much above your ankles. This really is an absolutely amazing place to see, and will be a highlight of your trip to the redwoods.

    Fun hike that kids will love. I wore my regular tennis shoes and didn't get wet at all. Kids might…read morehave a harder time staying dry and part of the fun is hiking through the water. Crazy ride to get there. We had all wheel drive and I was thankful we weren't in a sedan although I saw some. Make a reservation (can be done at 9am the day before) or plan to go after 5.
