Smith River to the Pacific Ocean

The air will begin to cool as plant common close to the coast, and common in the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, begin to appear. This section starts with a road walk along the South Fork of the Smith River with plenty of opportunities for swimming. It then climbs up into Redwood National Park with miles of walking in old growth redwood forest before dropping into Crescent City and the Pacific Ocean
