The Great Outdoors

Those who wish to be transported to a mystical wonderland can spend some time at Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park in Crescent City. Along the Pacific coast, this beloved state park beckons visitors and lovers of nature to enjoy one of California’s most pristine natural landscapes. You can hike along the coastal trails, wind your way through the redwood trees, and even spend some time on the beach investigating the tide pools. With some of the tallest trees in the world, you are sure to feel like an explorer in a new land as you set out on the various trails. California’s 1,200-mile Coastal Trail also cuts through the park.Also part of the redwood parks systems, the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park near McKinleyville offers a different view of these giants. With open grasslands within the park, you can switch between towering forests, coastal scenery, and wide-open spaces. You can take a short hike across the prairie fields, explore the marshlands, or head deeper into the park to find Fern Canyon and its waterfalls. As you’re exploring, be sure to keep an eye out for a favorite local: the Roosevelt elk. They are commonly seen in the marshlands and at Fern Canyon and help showcase the beautiful biodiversity of the region.Those looking for a snapshot of Northern California’s natural beauty can spend the day at Six Rivers National Forest in Willow Creek. With over 350 miles of rivers, six distinctly different ecosystems and habitats, and spanning several different local forests, Six Rivers is an adventurer’s paradise. You can set out on the hiking trails, bike along some of these trails, enjoy some fishing opportunities, or challenge yourself to some mountain hiking. No matter how you plan to spend the day, be sure to stay vigilant – Six Rivers is where some famous Bigfoot footage was shot, so who knows who (or what) you’ll run into.
