BONUS: Redwoods on the House!

Hike the Redwoods in 2018 with Complimentary Parking Passes

In celebration of turning 100 this year, Save the Redwoods League is hosting a celebration week and also giving away complimentary day-use admission to more than 100 redwood parks for every second Saturday of 2018. The next one is Saturday, October 13. (Some parks have waived fees, not requiring day-use passes at all) More information!

The caveat: One-time passes are first-come, first-served, so you’ve got to be on top of it before tickets sell out. The silver (or shall we say red?) lining: Many redwood parks that don’t sell out as fast are absolute gems of Northern California!

It’s a perfect opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and discover more of the places supported by the fine work of Save the Redwoods League. Since 1918, this organization has worked to protect and restore redwood forests, including by enhancing access to parklands. Save your green by supporting red!
