Fodor's Expert Review Howland Hill Road
Redwood National Park
Scenic Drive
Fodor's Choice
Take your time as you drive this 10-mile route that meanders within inches of old-growth redwoods' hulking trunks and follows the Smith River for a spell. Trailers and RVs are prohibited on the unpaved but well-maintained road for the roughly 7 miles that pass through Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. Pullouts include those for the Boy Scout Tree and Stout Memorial Grove trailheads.
