We had a wonderful time hiking through this park. We hiked about 13 miles along the Miner’s Ridge Trail, Gold Bluffs Beach, Fern Canyon, and back via the James Irvine Trail. It was a tough long hike with lots of climbing but worth it. The views were amazing and the photos were beautiful.

Avenue of the giants is a stunning 32 mile scenic drive through magnificent redwoods and meandering eel river vistas. Plenty of groves where you can stop and go for a hike to admire Mother Nature’s incredible beauty. We stopped by the drive through tree but our vehicle ( VW Atlas ) was too wide. Still a drive worthwhile taking.
5. Briceland Vineyards
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 33 reviews
Fall and Winter, we are open by appointment only for tasting, tours and purchasing. Same day/short notice appointments are sometimes OK. We produce distinctive, site-driven small batch wines made mainly from grapes grown in small plots in Southern Humboldt. Our wines receive recognition in well known wine competitions including the CA State Fair and the Orange County Fair, along with top reviews from wine writers. We are best known for our Single Vineyard Humboldt Pinot Noirs and our Brut Sparkling wines, while our other reds and whites are distinctive and well received. Our Winery is located about 75 yards up Ferren Road, off of Briceland/Shelter Cove Road, 1/4 mile before Briceland 5.5 miles West from Redway on the way towards Shelter Cove.

Learning the variables in winemaking, from grapes being picked early (which is not always bad), to ageing and alcohol content all affecting the taste of the varietal was extraordinary. This gentleman really knows his craft. His willingness to share the intimate details from soil to soft palate are amazing. The wines quite simply are delicious. All of this delivered in a humble, unpretentious manner with his lovely wife made our late afternoon superb. We hope to return with our adult children to share and learn more.

Easy to get to and an easy stroll through a very beautiful grove of old growth redwoods. A piece of history that could have easily been lost , but has been preserved in this grove.

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.

Ok, so perhaps not quite as amazing as the Avenue of the Giants, but you'll be driving thru this area anyway to get to the Avenue so why not stop?!? I admit, we almost didn't and I'm so grateful that we had! We had our two small children with us, aged 8 and 5, neither of which are much "hikers". There were still several trailheads to pull over and take leisurely strolls thru some magnificent, ancient trees. When (not "if"!) we return I will plan on spending more time exploring more of the turn outs. I can see one easily spending a full day here, if not more. Highest recommendation for those that are driving through this stretch of the Northern California coast and have the time for a very worthwhile detour!

On our way north to the coast, we stopped to stretch our legs at Founders Grove. This is a short walking path, less than a mile. It is perfect for all ages and abilities due to the level grade. This is a busy path but the pure quantity of redwoods makes this a worthwhile stop.
