Jedidiah Smith National Park
http://www.redwoodhikes.com/Jed%20Smith/Jed%20Smith.html

Bright, open, and lush, Jed Smith's redwood groves are the most scenic in existence. There's an unusual amount of variety in the the size of the trees, and even in the understory vegetation, making the woods an interesting place to hike. The park isn't known for the height of its trees but it does have many of the world's largest redwoods by volume, and on the best trails trees of truly stupendous size are set among smaller redwoods.

I have to kiss my right knee goodbye every time I hike it, but there's lots of stuff all around it as well when I'd rather walk normally afterwards.


The Pacific Crest Trail skirts the eastern and northern sides and also accesses the only trail to the summit. On a clear day, the Sky Lakes Wilderness area, Crater Lake, Rogue Valley, and Mount Shasta are visible from the summit.





McKenzie River has lush tree lined trails, waterfalls , and stark lava flows all within a half hour of each other.
