How Do You Drive To San Francisco Via The Northern California Coast Route?
• Enter the state of California at the northern end of the California Coast route. You’ll find yourself at Redwoods National Park. There, you may view beautiful “original growth” redwood trees, go camping, do some fishing, view educational exhibits at one of 5 visitor’s centers, or simply enjoy a picnic. • Head south on US Highway 101. You’ll pass the coastal city of Eureka, CA, then start to head inland…towards the very heart of “California Redwood Country.” If you stop at the small town of Scotia…about 20 miles south of Eureka…you can tour the Pacific Lumber Company sawmill. Watch wood go from the “whole trunk” stage to the finished product! • Take the “Avenue of the Giants” scenic drive. You’ll pass mile after mile of beautiful, huge California redwoods. • Visit Humboldt Redwoods State Park (in the middle of the Avenue of the Giants drive), where you’ll tour lovely old groves directly off the highway. Enjoy displays in the visitor’s center. Camp in developed or primitive sites
