Hike the Parks: Redwood National & State Parks
August 8, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
It is truly an awe-inspiring experience to hike in a forest of the tallest trees on earth. Coast redwoods, currently the tallest trees in the world, have reached close to 400 ft and some have survived over 2000 years as well. The trails in the Redwood National and State Parks take you through an almost prehistoric landscape of towering giants, enormous tree trunks, ferns, and lush vegetation. You can experience the redwoods in just a few minutes… or take all week.No matter your comfort level and experience, there are walking and hiking options for you in the redwoods. Join us for a free talk by hiking book author John Soares as he describes the best trails through the majestic redwoods from his new book Hike the Parks: Redwood National & State Parks.
The new book covers the 38 best hikes in the redwoods and along the coast in Redwood National and State Parks. It also covers campgrounds, scenic drives, and how and where to explore tide pools and watch whales. Redwood National and State Parks includes Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, Del Norte Redwoods State Park, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, and Redwood National Park.
Seating is limited to those who arrive first. We have a maximum capacity of 40 at the Northwest Nature Shop.
