Anchored around the world-famous redwood
groves in northern California, this excursion offers
opportunities for adventure and family bonding
that are appropriately larger than life. Much of the
riding is on gravel, doubletrack, or car-free roads.
Highlights include picnic lunches on seaside bluffs,
tidal exploration on remote beaches, swimming in
the Smith River, and hikes through the profoundly
Instagram-worthy forest. Kids can peel off each day
for a cool side activity, giving parents an option to
extend their riding. Bring your own bikes or rent
from Western Spirit.
