On the California Coastal Redwood Forest, there are three redwood trees you can actually drive through. We drove through two of them - the Shrine Drive-Thru-Tree in Myers Flat, CA and the Chandelier Tree in Leggett, CA in October, 2014. These trees are over 300 feet tall, over 2,000 years old and have a diameter of 21 feet.

Crescent City & Klamath, California on a Budget (127)
Highway 299 from Redding towards the pacific coast was too beautiful for words. Very winding and hilly, it still delivered epic views. We made our way to Crescent City and also discovered some local attractions.
We just loved the redwoods along the river in Jedediah Smith State Park. The crystal clear water made Fi want to go for a swim. The Pacific coast from Northern California all the way up through B.C. and to Alaska is breathtaking. It's at 2:15 in the video.
Check out the google location here:
Klamath River overlook picnic area is a scenic pullout on a cliff overlooking the ocean, estuary, and some local sea lions! This can be seen at 8:02.
Check out the google location here:
Demartin Beach Picnic Area, Klamath is a picturesque stop along highway 101 where you can have a picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful beach. It can be seen at 8:25 in the video.
Here is the spot on google maps:

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 ..... ......

Trees of Mystery - Northern California
In this episode of Cheap Family Travel ( Nick, Regan, Maggie and Kate visited the Trees of Mystery in the coast redwoods of Northern California. This tourist attraction boasts unique coastal redwoods like the Family Tree that has twelve trees growing from a single trunk or the Elephant Tree, Candelabra Tree, Inferno Tree and Lightning Tree. The Kingdom of Trees trail is a walk through unspeakable beauty. You'll visit the famous Cathedral Tree where actual weddings are held. Stop by the Brotherhood Tree, the largest redwood in the park. Cheap Family Travel totally recommends a ride on the Sky Trail, the only six passenger forest gondola on the continent. The gondola gives you a birds eye view of the redwoods as you glide through the tree tops. At the Sky Trail summit, you can take in the magnificent view of the Klamath back country. We even saw a bald eagle!
A leisurely stroll will take you through the Trail of Tall Tales, where you will see giant redwood carvings that tell the legend of Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe.
Make sure you leave time at the end of your day to visit the gift shop and the End of the Trail Native American Museum. This museum houses memorabilia from Native Americans all over the United States and is free to the public.
We loved our visit to Trees of Mystery, right down to our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the picnic area. Who knows, maybe one of us will get married under the Cathedral Tree someday!
