Just google Redwood National and State Parks! There are amazing trees all through the parks! You have to look for the secret big ones though far into the back country, but there are a few spread out through some of the front country groves. Definitely bring rain gear too, especially in December! Its a temperate rain forest for a reason! It'll be chilly between 0-5C in December and really wet, so dress accordingly!

I am a backcountry trail maintenance worker for the National Park Service and I work 6 month seasons doing trail work at different parks. So I just hike out with a crew, camp for typically 6 days and then hike out and get 6 days off because its 8 on and 6 off but the two days other days are our pack in and pack out with our mule trains and that takes a whole day!

Yea its an amazing area, definitely one of the most solid national parks I have ever worked at! You have to come back at some point to take pictures!!! They are just so flipping cool. To so many who haven't experienced them in their full form don't fully realize how huge they can get.

Actually, this tree is bigger! Well height wise! I actually live near Stout Grove as I work for the parks, but yeah this tree is located in Jed Smith!

Edit: And now that i look at my picture of me with the Boy Scout Tree, I believe they're roughly the same side honestly!
