A visit to Redwood National and State Parks in California

By Robert Ellis
Robert Ellis Woodworking

A recent West Coast trip took us through the California and Oregon interior as well as their coastlines. Three National Parks were included along the way. The entire trip took in diverse regions and many miles of almond groves, vineyards, waterfalls, mountains and epic forests and coastlines.

The photo with this article is of Tammy rounding a curve on a trail in the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway. We saw numerous redwood trees for many miles, and this Parkway in our opinion was the best of the best!

Having seen Sequoia National Park (worlds biggest trees in diameter) these redwoods are still VERY large, but grow taller and in much thicker groves than Sequoias. We were most impressed with the Redwood National Park.

Travel: The Corkscrew Tree Trail



2023-10-11 - Redwoods National Park, Orick, California - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking.
Robert writes, "This short trail is off of the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway. The Parkway itself is a 10 mile alternative to Highway 101 and runs through old growth Redwoods. The massive Corkscrew tree, at left, got its name from the way it spirals towards the sky. The trail quite literally is a magical place and is a fun hike."
