Adventures in Letterboxing: California Redwood Coast

Misty redwoods

Our week was funfilled and packed with adventure as Chris and I went to the Redwood Coast in Northern California.

Trees of Mystery is a must visit when at the Redwood Coast

Day 1: Crescent City and Klamath, CA
Some great letterboxes hidden around these two coastal towns! And, some great beaches! During one of our hunts in Klamath we spotted a grey whale which made the long trek to the letterboxes doubly fun! To find what I am speaking of you should go to Requa Road!

Day 2: Eureka, CA
Went to Sequoia Park in Eureka, CA. They have a small zoo and park with a duck pond in the lower section of the road. It's full of ferns, and breath-taking giant redwood trees!

Another stopping point is Woodley Island in Eureka at the harbor. Full of fishing boats at the dock, gift shop, and a lovely resturaunt right next to the bay.

Day 3: Lady Bird Johnson Grove in Orick, CA
If you want to walk through the Redwood forest this is the place to be. Dedicated to First Lady Lady Bird Johnson in the 60's this grove has gravel trail with informational signs and a nice place to rest at the dedication spot! Only downside is that dogs are not allowed on the trail.
