There are no entrance fees to drive the scenic roads or highways in our three state parks and national park. National Park: Redwood National Park is free to visit!
Redwood National and State Parks are fee free with the exception of day use areas within the Prairie Creek Redwoods, Del Norte Coast Redwoods, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Parks. State park day use passes and Interagency Federal Passes (Senior, Annual, Access, etc.) are accepted within these three state parks.
While you could easily spend multiple days in the Redwoods, you can also get a good feel for all the Redwoods have to offer in one adventure-filled day! If you only have one day, make the most of it and see the variety available in this National Park.
Great experience! The views from the skywalk were amazing! Such a wonderful experience!! It's amazing to feel like you are up in the trees, and looking down in the ferns was amazing as well.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks offer some of the best spots to see the behemoths, including the General Sherman tree. Stand below it or take a free park shuttle in the summer to see its size from a distance.
Redwoods Itinerary – Day 1If you're game, you could hike all 3 trails by starting with Tall Trees Grove and ending with Prairie Creek and Foothill Loop. This would make for a total of 7 miles of hiking and you will have seen some of the most magical areas in the entire country!
Klamath TreeSixty minutes north of Eureka, the newest of the drive-thru redwoods sits atop a hill near Redwood National Park and Yurok tribal lands along the Klamath River.
The 45-mile Direct Route will take around 1 hour 15 minutes to complete if you drive straight through Redwood National Park without stopping. We'd always suggest leaving a lot longer than this - at least half a day but ideally more - since there are so many stunning views to enjoy en route.
