Humboldt Redwoods State Park
Along Hwy 101, 80-sq-mile Humboldt Redwoods State Park protects some of the world's oldest redwoods and has three-quarters of the world's tallest 100 trees. Even if you don't have time to hike in, drive (vehicle entry $8) the park's awe-inspiring Avenue of the Giants, a 32-mile, two-lane road parallel to Hwy 101.
