Humboldt Redwoods State Park holds the largest remaining old-growth redwood forest in the world, best seen from the 32-mile Avenue of the Giants. The park spans 53,000 acres, almost twice the size of San Francisco, and about a third of it is ancient redwood forest. It lies 45 miles south of Eureka and 20 miles north of Garberville; the park is open all year and the visitor centre daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas.
