Klamath

If you’re driving on Redwood Highway 101 on a calm spring morning, I highly recommend pulling over. During the rhododendron season, you’ll have the chance to capture the contrast between the joyful flowers and the mystical morning fog dominating the scene behind the giant coastal trees.

The featured photo was captured along the west side of Redwood Highway 101 just before the Damnation Creek Trailhead pullout. Head south on Highway 101. The Damnation Creek Trailhead is about 15 minutes from Crescent City. The trail is a little tricky to find since it starts from an unmarked dirt pullout on the west side of Highway 101. The pullout is at mile marker 16.
