With the holidays approaching, many of us are looking for a little peace and calm in the midst of the seasonal rush. One simple way to recharge is to step outside. Even a short walk in fresh air can boost well-being and reduce stress. Humboldt County is the perfect place to get away and soak up the winter vibes. 🌲🌊

The Lady Bird Johnson Grove Trail, part of Redwood National and State Parks, is an ideal place for visitors to unwind. Located just off Highway 101 near Orick, this easy, family-friendly 1.5-mile loop winds through old growth redwoods and other tall conifers has been a popular destination for decades. It is the perfect place for a quiet, calming nature walk.

One unique feature of this trail is that, within just a few steps, you can move from a second growth forest into an old growth redwood forest. Learn more about the Lady Bird Johnson Trail by visiting the National Park Service's website at nps.gov/Places/LBTTrailhead.htm.

Humboldt County is a truly unique and breathtakingly beautiful place. World-renowned as the home of the iconic giant coastal redwoods, it has long inspired nature lovers, artists, writers and musicians alike. Half of the planet’s remaining old-growth redwoods thrive here in Humboldt’s majestic forests.

But the redwoods are just one part of what makes Humboldt unforgettable for visitors of all ages, abilities and interests. Where the forest meets the ocean, more than 100 miles of pristine and rugged coastline offer sandy adventures, scenic coastal hikes and peaceful moments with family and friends. Wild rivers flow through Humboldt County, inviting exploration and adventure. From the legendary Lost Coast and accessible Clam Beach County Park in the west to Bigfoot Country in the east, each corner of Humboldt has its own distinct charm and countless things to discover.

We are deeply grateful for this place we call home, and for you, our wonderful local friends and visitors. We wish you a safe and happy holiday!
