Prairie Creek Redwoods/Gold Bluffs Beach

Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is a state park in Humboldt County, California, located along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. The park is notable for its old-growth coast redwood forests, including the world-famous "Tall Trees Grove" with trees measuring up to 379 feet (115 m) in height. The park also features miles of coastline, prairies, oak woodlands, and the pristine prairie creek. Gold Bluffs Beach, located within the park, is a popular destination for beachcombing, camping, and wildlife viewing. The beach is also home to the endangered western snowy plover. Orick, California is a small town located just outside the park, and is the closest town to the park entrance.
