=== Things to Do in Redwood National and State Parks ===
The parks offer a wide range of activities for visitors of all ages and interests:

* '''Hiking''': The parks feature miles of hiking trails, ranging from easy walks through the towering trees to more challenging backcountry routes. Popular hikes include the '''Boy Scout Tree Trail''', '''James Irvine Trail''', and '''Miners Ridge Trail'''.
* '''Wildlife Viewing''': In addition to the Roosevelt elk, the parks are home to black bears, river otters, and a variety of bird species. '''Whale watching''' is also possible from coastal areas during migration seasons.
* '''Beachcombing''': Explore the rugged coastline along '''Redwood Creek Beach''', '''Gold Bluffs Beach''', or '''Enderts Beach''', where you can discover driftwood, sea shells, and stunning ocean vistas.
* '''Photography''': The towering redwoods and coastal landscapes provide endless opportunities for photography, especially at sunrise and sunset when the light filters through the forest.
* '''Stargazing''': Due to its remote location, the parks offer excellent stargazing opportunities, especially on clear nights. The open spaces near the coast provide unobstructed views of the night sky.
