It was a blast! We saw three bears, otters, an eagle chick and parent and other other birds up close. We loved the views and the guided tour. Of course, the ride itself on the jet boat was incredible! Thank you for waiting for us when we were late.

A site along a family hiking trail in Redwood National Park that also offers a museum of Native American items.
Reviewed By A TripAdvisor Member
We spent about 3 hours, walking the trails & the gondola ride. Would’ve like to spend more time, but it started raining & was cold. So be prepared if it looks like rain.
Very interesting trails, there were signs
with the names of the trees & plants, along with other points of interest
The Native American museum was one of the best, I’ve seen. The gift shop was just your usual tourist gift shop
Great place for families. The gondola was fun & reasonably priced. Would be very difficult for handicapped persons. The trail can be steep in places

This state park, established in 1923, is part of the Redwoods National and State Park System.
Reviewed By Cameron M - Martinez, California, United States
There are so many hiking and view options in PCRSP. Many reviewers rightly extol the spectacular short walks right around the visitors center. It's so easy for those with limited time or mobility to get right up to amazing enormous redwoods. (Consider also Founders Grove down south midway along The Avenue of the Giants).
Skunk cabbage trail is different. There are a few big redwoods, but the real stars of this show are the droopy, moss-festooned sitka spruce, leaning alders, a freakish proliferation of mushrooms, an ocean view, and NO HIGHWAY NOISE.
Once you get past the wow phase of how friggin big the trees are, old-growth redwood groves are pretty boring; no birds, no bugs, no sound at all, and few understory plants. On the other hand, a spruce grove has a lot of diversity and life. This trail follows the eponymous creek, which is often a swampy bog.
The trailhead is 3/4s of a mile off Hwy 101, on Robinson Road, just past Bald Hills road. The first 2 miles is level'ish but is shot through with tree roots. The next half mile climbs 300 ft to a view of the ocean, then it's 1.5 miles to the beach that adds another 300 ft of rise. Lots of folks turn around at the view point, so the trail to the beach is overgrown.

A small museum located in the "Trees of Mystery" attraction, with elaborate Native American baskets and costumes on display.

In the Gift Shop at the Trees of Mystery. There are artifacts from Native American Cultures from various areas of the country. Our Grandkids (16, 14 and 6) enjoyed the museum and found the exhibits interesting.

The Innis great and the road leading up from it is spectacular. We parked at the lot up the hill and drank in the sunset views of the ocean and Klamath.

We knew this was mathematically possible however, half way through the tree, it seemed like a bad idea. My husband stood out front and took pictures as we drove through. The kids LOVED it! They thought it was awesome! I drive a Ford Expedition which is a very large vehicle. I had about 2-4 inches on each side. Mirrors were folded in - we would not have made it otherwise.

This place is owned and operated by the California Native Americans. This river is considered HOLY. The Native Americans have lived here for centuries. It is considered a holy place and again, finally, FISH are making their way back up the river.

9. Yurok Country Visitor Center
Overall Ratings
5 based on 13 reviews
This new facility is a hub for tourist information about the Redwoods and local businesses. The visitor center will educate visitors about the Yurok Tribe's heritage and culture. The approximately 3,500 square-foot Yurok Country Visitor Center is in downtown Klamath on the corner of Klamath Blvd. and Klamath Circle and is within walking distance from Redwood Hotel Casino. The location is also right in the center of Redwood National and State Parks, home to some of the last remaining old-growth redwoods on the planet.

I stopped in this visitor center looking for jewelry. Instead I discovered a beautifully designed museum. It is compact, but the exhibits were interesting and visually inspired. I was watching a video of a Yoruk man competing in a sport and the young man managing the front counter explained the sport and the nature of the competition (between three local tribes). It was interesting enough, that I returned two days later to see if they had books on local history. Sadly, they were closed. *I guess it might be appealing for some travelers to know that the guy at the desk was a young Yurok, who was incredibly handsome - deep black eyes, longish black hair, handsome, and a good soul / good energy.

We actually parked on the side of the road, off the road in what is probably a turn out for something else but it was the safest spot to stop and take a few pictures. It was going southbound just passed the bridge. The Bears are rather neat to see. We actually came across this on our way up north but stopped on our way south. It isn't everyday you see it. Certainly don't actually have to stop to see them!
