Redwood Forest in Klamath, California

The ride north on Hwy 101 was one of the most gorgeous rides we have taken... Sometimes we were in the woods with the GIANT Redwoods and then all of a sudden we would be at the coast line with such fabulous views...

We arrived at our next destination after traveling around 200 miles...
Golden Bear RV
17581 Hwy 101
Kalmath, California



This was a wonderful park and at the Passport America price of $15 it was a bargain. Situated right on the Klamath River surrounded by the Redwood National & State Park. Tassie was parked with her front facing the Klamath River and we had such a beautiful view it was unbelievable. However still no AT&T Internet or phone but our friends had Verizon service. We also had FHU with 50 amp service which is hard to find in this area. The host, Bob, was more then friendly and so helpful with information about the area.


We spent the 3 days here visiting the coastline and Redwoods... I knew the Redwoods were going to be HUGE but in my wildest imagination I never expected what we would see when we got there. The Redwoods are magnificent, immense, ancient, stately, mysterious,and we were all in awe over their beauty. The trees can reach ages of 2,000 years and regularly reach 600 years. Resistance to natural enemies such as insects and fire are built-in features of a coast redwood. Diseases are virtually unknown and insect damage insignificant thanks to the high tannin content of the wood. Thick bark and foliage that rests high above the ground provides protection from all but the hottest fires.




The coast is a also magnificent and mighty. Hundreds of miles of coastal hiking trails, giant redwood forests, and historic lighthouses are just a few of the things
you will find on the Northern California Coast not to mention Seals,
Birds and the mighty waves beating against the huge rocks.
We truly enjoyed our visit to the California coast.




After the 3 days here we have moved up the coast and entered Oregon. Oregon is the only state in the lower 48 that we had not been to. So check that off our bucket list. And continuing our journey up HWY 101 it was just like we expected this is another beautiful state with our ride taking us right up the coast.
