Redwood National and State Parks are home to the tallest trees, the coast redwoods, which can reach nearly 270 feet and live up to 2,000 years. The area is preserved through the establishment of Del Norte, Jedediah Smith, and Prairie Creek state parks, along with Redwood National Park in 1968. These parks collectively manage and protect nearly half of the world's old-growth redwoods. With only five percent of ancient forests remaining, conservation is critical. The region's diverse terrains support recreational activities and the best visiting times are spring and early summer when the forest is lush.
