The Humboldt Redwoods State Park Visitor Center near Weott — exhibits, maps, and the marker showing how high the 1964 flood rose.
Coming up on your RIGHT near Weott is the Humboldt Redwoods State Park Visitor Center, and it's worth the twenty minutes. It's free, there's a good little museum, restrooms, maps, and rangers who can tell you exactly which grove is glowing that week. And somewhere near here, look for the flood marker — a post with a line painted way, WAY up above your head, marking how high the water stood in the great flood of nineteen sixty-four. When you see how far up that line is, it stops being a statistic. Boone will tell you what that night was like for the people who lived here. This is also the best place to ask about the walking trails — there are dozens, most of them flat and easy, and honestly, the Avenue only half works from behind glass. You have to get out and stand under them.
