    Hiking

    Waddell Beach is one of the gateways to Big Basin Redwoods State Park. It includes many trails.

    It is also the oldest of the California parks, whose primary purpose is to protect this remarkable ecosystem of California coastal rain forests. The Redwoods are the emblematic image of this park.
