The California
Redwood Coast |
|
The California Redwood Coast stretches over 400 miles
of rugged coastline from San Francisco to primeval redwood
forests at the border with Oregon. Inland you'll find
lush vineyards and quaint villages filled with antique
shops. Three national parks and numerous state parks
provide unlimited opportunities for hiking, camping
and fishing.
| Some California Redwood Coast Experiences |
- The inexplicable peace found in a mist-enshrouded
grove of centuries-old coastal redwoods.
- The campy thrill of driving through one of
the giants.
- Freshly caught king salmon with dill in a
beach-side diner, while wind-ripped surf pounds
a rhythmic accompaniment.
- High-speed excitement, as a jet boat rushes
you up the raging waters of a majestic river.
- Jagged rocks, evergreens, and sea-foam, forming
landscapes that defy the canvas to capture them.
- A sip of wine with a friendly vintner at a
hidden coastal mountain winery.
