Discover Redwood National Park
Imagine walking into a forest where the trees rise higher than a 30-story building, some having stood for nearly 2,000 years.
Welcome to Redwood National Park, one of Northern California's most extraordinary natural treasures.
Established in 1968, the national park is cooperatively managed with three neighboring California state parks, protecting magnificent coast redwood forests, wild Pacific beaches, and remarkable wildlife.
It's a place where nature operates on a scale that's almost impossible to comprehend.
