The objective today was to see some lighthouses, redwoods, beaches, and anything else we could find between Crescent City, CA and Florence, OR – where we planned to spend the evening/night. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We started off with a trip to the local lighthouse, paid a visit to the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park, and found our first covered bridge. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The lighthouse (referred to in the “Lighthouse Inn”) was literally right outside our window that night and though it looked to be far out at sea, it was actually on an island only about 150 yards off the mainland and we could walk to it during low tide. It’s name is the Battery Point Lighthouse. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The best thing about the Lighthouse Inn was the convenience – right on 101, across the street from the restaurant and pier, blocks from the lighthouse and only a few miles from the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
While in the park we stopped at Stout Grove and on the way out we saw our first covered bridge (Jedediah Smith covered bridge). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Many of the parks and their paths are described at: Redwood Hikes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
