Actually comprising four parks, Redwood National and State Parks should be a priority on your weekend itinerary; they are located in Northern California’s coastal area.

The must-see at this destination is the Lady Bird Johnson Grove Trail, a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) hike that goes through really old redwood groves. The hike will lead you to where Lady Bird Johnson dedicated Redwood National Park back in 1968. The trail itself is only 2.4 miles (4 km) away from Highway 101, just near the town of Orrick. Take the time to enjoy the trail, and you’ll find breathtaking views of these majestic giant trees.
