Google "best national park to visit for spring break," and list after list fails to mention Redwood National Park. It’s time we throw our name in the hat for one of the best national parks to spend your spring break.


Escape the Tourist Traps

While popular spring break destinations like the Grand Canyon or Yosemite are overflowing with tourists, Yurok Country remains a hidden gem. Instead of fighting for space at overhyped beaches or waiting in long lines at national parks overrun with visitors, you’ll find peaceful trails, uncrowded beaches, and towering redwoods that make you feel like you have the whole forest to yourself.

Unique Adventures

Whether you're looking for an active getaway or a laid-back retreat, Yurok Country delivers. Hike through old-growth forests in Redwood National and State Parks, or take a scenic drive along the coast. Whale watching season is in full swing, and if you're lucky, you might even spot migrating gray whales from the shoreline.

Cozy Cabins & Riverside Stays

Skip the cookie-cutter hotel chains and embrace a more immersive experience. Stay in a cozy cabin along the Klamath River, camp beneath the redwoods, or book a room at the Redwood Hotel Casino for a blend of adventure and comfort.
