We are going to stop by san diego, how close is the nearest redwood tree?
Answers:
You're not close at adjectives. Humboldt county is 300 miles north of San Francisco and 100 south of the Oregon border and is the home of Redwood National Park.
They're at the other end of the state (near Fresno). We drove it finishing summer (2006) and it took us over 8 hours. Traffic was horrific...even unpunctually at night. If you ever want to move about see the redwoods & sequoias, make it a trip specifically to the nouns. Fly into Fresno, stay in Tulare, and consider driving over to Fairfield...Home of the Jelly Belly jellybean factory.
Sorry, many hours of driving.
There are two kind of Redwoods: the Giant Sequoia (Sequoia Gigantea) and the Coastal Redwood (Sequoia Sempervirens). The Giant Sequoia live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Coastal Redwoods live on the coast (duhh!)
To catch to either mixed bag from San Diego is at least a half-day drive. If you want to spend any time seeing them, you requirement to stay overnight.
Good luck to you. Redwood trees are great to see!
There are a few in Balboa Park, and I know of some surrounded by the Point Loma area, but I'm guessing you be set to wild ones. They don't do valid great here. There are more in people's yard in Pasadena than here.
The big aboriginal stands are 500 or so miles north. Muir woods near San Francisco is one of the best places to see them.
