Home to some of the tallest redwoods, the trees in the Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve stand up to 350 feet (106 m) tall. The place is very remote, so it’s perfect if you prefer to avoid the crowds. However, the park isn’t so big and only has a couple of miles of trails.
Hendy Woods State Park
If you prefer the warmer and less foggy parks, then Hendy Woods State Park is the place to go. It’s at the center of Anderson Valley’s wine country, featuring a couple of miles worth of trails and some redwood groves. One notable sight is Big Hendy, a redwood grove spanning an area of 32 hectares. The park is also filled with lots of picnic spots near the banks of the Navarro River, where you’ll be treated to a full view of the Big Hendy Grove. And because the place isn’t so foggy, you’ll be able to see the beautiful redwood trees in all their glory.
