Big Tree (Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway)
Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument
After the last long climb has been overcome, you simply let the bike roll downhill through the giant trees for miles and be amazed. One of the absolute highlights of the entire Pacific coast.

Lady Bird Grove
Highlight • Forest
"Fire can burn repeatedly through cracks in the bark into the heartwood but leave the outside growing layers intact. In time, the damaged heartwood decays, leaving behind hollows used as shelter by wildlife."

Big Tree
Highlight • Natural Monument
While not the biggest redwood in the world, or even in the park, Big Tree is very accessible, with its own parking lot, and has interpretive signs to teach you about the facts and legends of the redwoods.
Tip by
Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park Visitor Center
Highlight • Rest Area
Redwood Coast Transit offers public transportation to the visitor's center: redwoodcoasttransit.org/routes-schedules/route-20 though I haven't tried it myself. There is a meadow out front which sometimes has wild elk.
Tip by
Cathedral Trees Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
This is the very best and most beautiful trail for viewing big, tall redwood trees. The path is a little uneven, and there is some altitude gain, but very well worth it.
