Auto Tours

Avenue of the Giants has been a road trip destination since the early days of the automobile, when friends from the Bay Area would tour their Model Ts on the scenic 32-mile road through the redwoods — the original Redwood Highway — stopping at the famous Shrine Drive Thru Tree and other roadside attractions along the way.

Today, it’s a must-do for family road trips, couples weekends and, especially, for classic car clubs. Convertibles are especially cool when winding through the dappled light under a canopy of ancient redwoods.

Map out your stops at Southern Humboldt’s famous roadside attractions and favorite restaurants — and hit the road for an adventure through Northern California’s most beautiful and untouched landscape.
