Wondering what November in Yurok Country is all about? Let’s dive in.
In November, the redwoods and beaches are yours. Without the typical tourists, the trails feel like a private retreat, and with a little mist rolling through, it’s an even more magical experience. From Fern Canyon to Lady Bird Johnson Grove, the trails stay mostly open, though you might want to check for occasional rain-related closures. Coastal storms make for dramatic skies, but it’s nothing a solid rain jacket can’t handle.
Cozy Up for Storm-Watching
We may not get snow in Yurok Country, but the coastline does not disappoint. November is prime time for some good old-fashioned storm-watching. Head to the coast and enjoy the waves crashing in – places like Wilson Creek Beach and the Klamath River Overlook allow you to stay safe in your car.
After a day of taking in the dramatic skies, make your way back to the Redwood Hotel & Casino. Cozy up and unwind after a day of exploring. Staying locally supports the community and keeps you close to local attractions.
Celebrate Indigenous Heritage
November is also Native American Heritage Month, and there’s no better place to immerse yourself in the rich culture of the Yurok Tribe. Swing by the Yurok Country Visitor Center to learn about the tribe’s history.
Hiking and Trails for Days
The rain keeps things green and lush, and while some might see a little mud as a problem, we call it an adventure. Bring along microspikes if you’re hitting the steeper spots, or stick to flatter routes for a more leisurely stroll.
Fewer people, more trees, and the kind of peace that sticks with you long after you’ve left. See you in the redwoods! Plan your adventure here.
