r/redwoods

Hello. I’m looking for suggestions for which route to take and where to stop along the way. We will be traveling down the Oregon coast from Washington and we’re planning to drive into California to see the redwoods and stay for a few days. Looking for suggestions on towns to stay, possibly camping locations, but mostly destinations for viewing the redwoods.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi fellow redwood enthusiasts -

My partner and I are headed to the area in late September. We are from the Midwest and rock hunting, specifically for Lake Superior agates and yooperlites, has always been a big draw for us. We plan on hitting Agate Beach in Sue-Meg simply for the name (Agate Beach in Two Harbors MN is a super special place to us) but I wondered if there were any other good agate hunting spots others felt comfortable sharing. We will be staying 3 nights each in Arcata and Crescent City and the furthest south we will be heading is to Humboldt Redwoods State Park via Avenue of the Giants. Any pointers are greatly appreciated! Feel free to DM me if you don't want to tell the whole internet as I know many folks prefer to keep their spots under wraps.​ Thanks!

Hi, I’d like to ride my bike through an area full of redwood trees. However, I understand Muir Woods doesn’t allow bikes. Are there any good options near Muir Woods or somewhere else in the Bay Area to bike with redwoods scenery?
