You'd have to light 1,000 candles to celebrate the birthday of the astonishing redwood trees in this Humboldt County grove. Stroll among ancient trees that are more than 300 feet tall (trust us on that one, 'cause you can't climb them), and look for special trees like the "chandelier" redwood with its multiple trunks—and of course, an Instagram photo at the walk-through tree is mandatory. You have 9 miles of hiking trails to choose from, many of them very easy (fine for strollers or the elderly), and all of them let you breathe in the peace and beauty of this gorgeous site.
Getting to this state park is easy, as it's just of Highway 101. Whether you're in an RV or a tent, you'll feel a real sense of privacy here, thanks to the giant trees everywhere—but head for a campsite along the Eel River if you want to pitch your tent. Pay
