Redwood Highway

Reviewed By SailorSuzan - Seattle, United States

I recommend visiting a 'visitor's center' for the Redwood National Park to get an overview of the collection of land parcels that make up the Redwood National and State Parks so that you can appreciate what's left of the giant redwoods. Even along US Highway 101, there are easy on/off to enjoy glimpse of some great groves. Remember there is only 4% of the original forest left - hence the collection of small parcels, but still incredible.

Sequoia Park Zoo

Reviewed By NekoCat - Franklin, United States

Small zoo with very nice facilities, super clean and a fun variety of animals. Highlights; red panda, gibbon, river otters (adorable), red ibis, bald eagles and the most pristine captive flamingos I’ve ever seen. For $10 well worth stopping by for an hour or so.

Lost Coast Trail

Reviewed By ScottM3845

The drive certainly is difficult and long, the hiking arduous and not for the faint of heart. The scenery, the wildlife, the surf, the creeks, the camping, the night sky, the company, the whole experience, is one I will look back on as one of the best in my life. Give yourself time to enjoy the experience, an extra day, if you can. Talk with or reference someone who has done the trip previously and use their suggestions for a wonderful journey into Northern California’s truly wild Lost Coast. The questions below don’t really apply...give yourself 4 or 5 days.

Sequoia Park Garden

Reviewed By spiderfacekate - Eureka, United States

Easily accessible to walk, hike, drive, or picnic. Just a few hundred feet into Sequoia Park, you'll feel like you're deep within a spectacular primeval forest. Close nearby is a park, zoo, and other attractions.

Headwaters Forest Reserve

Reviewed By bremd10 - Sacramento, United States

There’s a two mile round trip paved trail. There are other trails through the woods too. There was an old logging camp there around 1900 that left and over time the forest took over and there are only a couple things remaining from the camp; foundation of a house and a large barn.

Carson Mansion

The Ingomar Club is a private club that serves a dual mission of the restoration and preservation of the unique historical building and grounds of the Carson Mansion, while providing fine dining and social experiences for its members. No public tours. Virtual tours are available on our website.

Reviewed By timwI7348VW - Eureka, United States

Wow - it's hard to imagine the detail and craftmanship in this late 19th Century Victorian mansion. The gingerbread that adorns this house is intricate and detailed. Home to the private Ingomar Club, the mansion is a photo worthy stop if your are driving the 101 highway in Northern CA. The house is closed to the public, but having been inside myself, I can tell you that the detailed architecture does not stop at the front door...breathtaking interiors all the way to the 4th floor tower with it's stunning 360 degree views!
