Best trails in Redwood National Park

Redwood National Park is co-managed with the state parks of California to protect nearly half of all remaining tallest trees on Earth, the Coastal Redwoods. In this extremely seismically active area, there are 37 miles of untouched coastline and praire and forest inland. There is an abundance of plant and wildlife both on the coast an inland including elk and mountain lions. Redwood National Park is free. There are no entrance stations, and thus you cannot buy the "Senior Pass" or the "Annual Pass" of the federal America the Beautiful Passes. Please note that some areas that are classified as state park areas do collect fees. Jedediah Smith, Del Norte Coast, and Prairie Creek Redwoods state parks collect day-use fees at developed campground entrance stations. These three California State Parks will honor the federal "America the Beautiful" series of passes and provide discounted pricing to pass holders. Holders of California State Parks passes will be able to use their state pass. In Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park there is an entrance fee to drive to Gold Bluffs Beach / Fern Canyon. This state park entrance fee will be waived to holders of federal "America the Beautiful" pass.
