This initiative allows visitors to enjoy the parkway without vehicle traffic, enhancing the experience of the surrounding redwood forest.
Newton B. Drury was a prominent conservationist and the fourth director of the National Park Service, known for his efforts in preserving California's redwoods.
This scenic drive offers a unique opportunity to see some of the tallest trees in the world up close.
Before the highway was rerouted, this stretch served as a major thoroughfare along the California coast.
Visitors often spot Roosevelt elk, black-tailed deer, and a wide array of bird species along the route.
The area is rich with ferns, rhododendrons, and other native plants that thrive in the moist, shaded environment of the redwood forest.
These trails provide opportunities to explore deeper into the forest and experience the tranquility of the redwoods away from the road.
