Orick California and Redwood National Park Tour 2016
Orick California and Redwood National Park are located just minutes away from Trinidad California. This video was filmed on a day trip from Turtle Rocks Oceanfront Inn, a great place to stay for seeing everything in the region.
The beautiful Redwood National Park visitor center is located right on the beach near the entrance to the city of Orick, just past Freshwater lagoon.
This is the gateway to explore old growth redwood forests (such as Lady Bird Johnson grove, big tree) as well as sights such as Fern Canyon and Prairie Creek Redwoods states park.
Redwood National Park also features the tallest tree in the world.

The Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) are located in the United States, along the coast of northern California. Comprising Redwood National Park (established 1968) and California's Del Norte Coast, Jedediah Smith, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks (dating from the 1920s), the combined RNSP contain 133,000 acres (540 km2).[3] Located entirely within Del Norte and Humboldt Counties, the four parks, together, protect 45% of all remaining coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) old-growth forests, totaling at least 38,982 acres (157.75 km2). These trees are the tallest and one of the most massive tree species on Earth. In addition to the redwood forests, the parks preserve other indigenous flora, fauna, grassland prairie, cultural resources, portions of rivers and other streams, and 37 miles (60 km) of pristine coastline.More Info:

Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park Guided Walking Tour Video
Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park - Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is a state park, adjacent to Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, another one of the three unique States Parks federally managed and preserved. This beautiful park which was established in 1927 consists of 6,400 acres with approximately 50% old-growth coast redwood and 8 miles of wild coastline. The park was designed as a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Preserve by the United Nations in the 1980s. In 2007, the Mill Creek was added to Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park and increased its size by 25,000 acres. This elevates Del Norte Park to the 5th largest in the State Park system and thus increasing the preserved redwoods parks. In 2008, former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed to close this unique park (due to California's deficit) but fortunately has since been rescinded following public outcry. President Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir stood firmly and courageously against lobbies when they declared these ancient trees as national monuments back in 1906

Redwoods National Park Adventure - Visiting some of the largest trees on earth! | MOTM VLOG 81
In this video we enter California and spend some time in Crescent city and Klamath, exploring the Redwoods National Parks and a really cool place called fern canyon!
READ THE BLOG HERE - -
The Redwoods had always been something we’d really wanted to see. My mom still raves about their majesty decades after her visit to them in her pre-parenthood years. We’d seen pictures of course of the huge trees – the men rappelling down them, looking like ants in comparison to this gargantuan tree.
But – like we’ve found elsewhere in our travels – pictures did not do it justice!
Since the park was so long, we started our exploration from Crescent City, CA. We stayed at the Crescent City KOA (link to video review) which was just a few miles from Jedidiah Smith Redwood State Park. Our first stop was at the Visitor’s Center to figure out what we should see and do, and get acquainted with how this partitioned park worked.
We found the Jedidiah Smith Visitor’s Center seemed a little biased toward their section of the park – which I think is the case for each of the segments! How can you blame them? They loved their trees.
They recommended that we drive Howland Hill Rd, hike Stout Grove and to Boyscout Tree.
HOWLAND HILL ROAD
This was the first thing we did, and it was amazing. As an introduction to the big Redwood trees, it met and exceeded all of our expectations of Redwoods National Park. Seeing our 1-ton Dually Truck be absolutely dwarfed by the trees gave us chills!
STOUT GROVE
Hiking beneath the canopy of these giants was very different – it could be a beautifully sunny day, but it does not penetrate to the forest floor unless the angle is steep enough. We arrived at the Stout Grove trailhead early in the morning, at the perfect time to have the sunlight stream diagonally through the trees. Everyone on the trail was quiet, walking slowly, gaping in awe.
BOYSCOUT TREE TRAIL
This trail has everything – big trees, lots of trees, and REALLY big trees! The Boy Scout Trail ranks as one of the top showcases of old-growth redwood forests in existence. It is nearly 240ft tall and is a double-stem tree, meaning two trees have fused together, with a combined width of over 23ft. It's big.
SLIGHTLY SOUTH
We moved slightly south down to Klamath and stayed at Kamp Klamath right on the Klamath River about a mile from where it empties into the ocean. This put us closer to Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. We initially wanted to try to hike to Tall Trees where some of the tallest trees in the park are. Hyperion – the tallest tree at 379ft tall - is not too far away. However, the folks at one of the visitors centers pointed out that they are the tallest trees, but not necessarily the biggest/widest, and it is hard to tell how tall they are from the ground – plenty of other “nearly just as big” trees can be found elsewhere in more accessible places.
For Tall Trees you need to get a permit, and we were told it’s easy to get. You just have to show up and ask for it. But it was a several mile drive on rough roads that would take a few hours, then a few hour hike out, then back, then a rough drive back. We didn’t have very promising weather during the time period we were there, so we opted to go to ..... ......

Beach Camping at Golds Bluff, California
An amazingly campground right on the beach -- with very few visitors.
The Best of Redwood National Park
A January 2014 trip to northern California's Redwood National Park, exploring Fern Canyon, Elk Prairie, Trillion Falls, the Tall Trees Trail, Gold Bluffs Beach, the Glen Berry Trail, Elk Grove, the Miner's Ridge Trail, the James Irvine Trail, and Curruthers Cove.
Also, the monologue in the introduction is from National Geographic's short movie on David Milarch, which documents Mr. Milarch's efforts to clone California's fallen redwoods:
Mr. Milarch is a true man of the redwoods, and his work is incredibly inspirational.
