California Redwoods in Fort Bragg, California
—Posted Thursday, March 4th, 2010 at 9:13 am—

People think Humboldt County, Avenue of the Giants and Prairie Creek State Park when they think about seeing California Redwoods. But you don’t have to go that far. Just three hours from the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Bragg is a great launching pad for seeing redwoods. One of my favorites: Jug Handle State Reserve; in a 45-minute walk, you see redwoods and a pygmy  forest.
