"Even if you've seen California redwoods before, the Avenue of the Giants still has some surprises in store—there's a reason why it's called the 'finest forest drive in the world.'"

The Avenue of the Giants is a 31-mile scenic route in Humboldt-Redwoods State Park, parallel to Highway 101. It features massive California redwoods, numerous hiking trails, and small towns with food and accommodations.
