Transport Along the Redwood CoastA California traveler who wants to view the giant trees along the Redwood Coast should head for Garberville, California. That town is the “Gateway to the Redwoods.” That town is an excellent place for the tourist to become acquainted with the various modes of travel within the Redwood forest. Once supplied with that information, the tourist can select his or her mode of transport along the Redwood Coast.
Humboldt County has been described as "America's most scenic county." The world's tallest trees, the trees of the Redwood Coast, rise up into the sky over Humboldt County. In fact, some of the trees are so large that a car can pass through the tree trunk. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that loggers provide some of the money that flows into Humboldt County.
The tourist industry also brings plenty of money to Humboldt County. For some tourists, Redwood Coast travel consists of a journey down the Guala River. Easy-to find kayak and canoe rentals supply the transport for such river journeys. Travel west on the Guala River carries one closer and closer to the point where the River eventually empties into the Pacific Ocean.
Travel along the Guala River can also take a traveler to one of the 4 beaches along the Redwood Coast. Some of those beaches are so secluded, that only a traveler in a boat, or a hiker, can reach their sandy playground. In addition, kayaks and canoes can provide transport to Humboldt County's three exciting boating spots. A boat trip in Humboldt County allows the visitor to see the native wildlife-the sea otters, the pelicans and the osprey.
Of course, not all of the Humboldt County wildlife of interest exists on the land. Some visitors to the Redwood Coast time their visit to coincide with the arrival of the migrating gray whales. Those whales pass the Redwood Coast between November and December, when they are heading south. Then they pass that way again between February and April, when they are swimming north.
Many writers and artists have chosen to reside in Humboldt County. A few of the writers, like the famous Ernest Hemingway, spend time fishing as well as writing. The Redwood coast is known for its large and delicious abalone. Some abalones are speared by tourists, those tourists who take to sport diving along the coast.
Humboldt County gives the tourist a real taste of life in a once, still-young California. For example, the seaside town of Eureka, which is located along the Redwood Coast, shares many features with a traditional, Victorian seaport. The Humboldt County town of Trinidad has been likened to a "quaint Cornish village."
The tourist who aspires to look up towards the tops of the great Redwoods should head for Gaberville, California. There in Gaberville, a tourist can learn a great deal about the world's tallest trees. There in Gaberville, a tourist can choose his or her preferred mode of transport, for an adventure along the Redwood Coast.
There in Gaberville, a tourist might seek for a good postcard, a postcard that depicts the natural beauty, the towering redwoods, the peaceful wilderness and the enchanting waters of California's Redwood Coast.
