We had such a wonderful experience at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park! The trails were incredible—peaceful, well-maintained, and full of beauty at every turn. We saw and heard so much wildlife, from birds to rustling in the underbrush. And the trees—absolutely massive and awe-inspiring! Walking among the ancient redwoods felt like stepping into another world. Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature and hiking

This state park near Crescent City, is all about immersive beauty. The atmosphere is serene, and the scenery is lush. One can stand, and take in the beauty of fallen trees, and fields of ferns. There are different trails to explore, and spacious camping sites. The park’s visitor center is quaint, with very helpful personnel. In the presence of ancient redwoods, and moss-laced silence, your heart remembers how to be still.

Awesome park. Great for those who are limited to seeing the redwoods by car only and can’t hike in. Nice long drive with lots too see. Thin roads but lots of pull over areas to work with the opposite flow of traffic. Took some portraits of my daughter while we were there.

This is a global treasure. Everyone on earth should see (and respect) these trees. They are almost unimaginable in size. The park itself has a wonderful drive, but be careful because the roads are narrow. Be mindful to clean up after yourself so others can enjoy what the State Park has to offer. You may want to bring a poncho. It rains here often and sometimes by surprise.
