Vacation 2022

Redwood National and State Parks

The Redwood park system is pretty unique in that the national and California park systems work together to manage the Redwood parks.  The Southern park forests tend to have more and taller undergrowth.  The Northern park forests have shorter undergrowth allowing for easier viewing through the woods.  I thought the Northern much prettier and more majastic.
