Big Basin Redwoods State Park

Big Basin Redwoods State Park is California's oldest state park, established in 1902, and is home to the largest continuous stand of ancient coast redwoods south of San Francisco. The park features over 80 miles of trails, including the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail, which threads its way through the park along Waddell Creek to the beach and adjacent Theodore J. Hoover Natural Preserve, a freshwater marsh. The park has a variety of environments, including old-growth forest, recovering redwood forest, mixed conifer, oaks, chaparral, and riparian habitats, with elevations ranging from sea level to over 2,000 feet. The park is also home to a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, raccoons, and many species of birds. The park has many waterfalls and offers scenic views, making it a great place to visit with family and friends
