Observe seabirds\, intertidal life\, coastal processes\, and learn about the cultural and ecological significance of this landscape. \nAvenue of the Giants & Humboldt Redwoods State ParkTravel through one of the most iconic redwood corridors in the world\, focusing on floodplain forests\, river dynamics\, and redwoods at watershed scale. \nEel River & John B.
