Redwood National Park, Klamath, California

Klamath River RV Park

July 18, 2018

RV mileage 55143

          Went Whale watching this morning with no sightings at Umpqua Lighthouse. We left the campground at 10am and drove 176 miles down 101 to Klamath River RV Park in the country along the river. We are here at this campground for the next two nights.

We stopped several times and enjoyed the ocean views at the pull-offs.

We stopped at Crescent city California and picked up medallions and information about the Redwoods. Visited the Battery Point Lighthouse and enjoyed the views.

         After setup at the campground we drove the loop with the Big Tree and also the ELK Reserve. We didn’t see any Elk in the reserve but did see a one along the road as we drove back to the RV for the night.

Redwood Trees are HUGE

          This morning we had breakfast at the RV then drove to the Jedidiah Smith National Forrest. We stopped at the visitor center and received directions to the Stout Recreation area. There we walked among the Redwoods. This was AWESOME to be able to be with these giants. It is along a river so there was no undergrowth and the trail was just over one half mile and only had slight grades.
