Description
Standing taller than a football field is long, the ancient redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) of northern California can live 2,000+ years. Ride and hike through three different reserves guarded by these amazing sentinels, including the world’s largest remaining old-growth forest. Explore coastal gold-rush provision towns and Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Thrill to the only section of California’s coastline without a major highway - a magical stretch called the Lost Coast.
