What little town doesn't have a Walmart? The superstore carries anything from fresh cherries to cherry trees. Be cautious of the weekends however, by Friday a lot of fresh produce and meats are pretty well picked over and won't be replenished until the later in the week. Such is the price we pay for being in a remote location.

Shopping
More than just a bookstore (although books are about $1 a piece), Sylvia's Attic is a great store for vintage collectables, rocks, and just about everything else. Great place to browse for that perfect piece of china to replace the broken one from your grandma's set.

1600 US-199This is a lovely trail which is just off the day use parking lot on Davidson Road where you might spot a herd of Elk. The trail itself is about 2 and 3/4 miles long however, we recommend hiking to the falls which is about 1/2 mile in and then turning around. Trail is easy and falls are lovely.

Fern Canyon is where the ferns meet the ocean. The deep canyon has ferns growing up the sides and a stream runs throughout. Here is where parts of Jurassic Park was filmed as well as other movies. The trail can be reached either by driving on Davidson road (fording a stream along the way) or you can hike to it from the visitor's center at Prairie Creek Park. This is a fee area and a popular tourist spot in the summer.

Easy 2 mile trail through old growth redwoods. Lyndon Johnson was the president who placed the redwood parks into the National Park system to protect them so naturally Lady Bird had to have her own grove. After the hike, take a trip up Bald Hills road where wild flowers are abundant in the spring.

Stout Grove is an easy hiking trail that when combined with the River Trail takes you through old growth redwoods and pass a beautifully clear stream. We recommend taking the South Fork exit from 199 (about mile marker 7) route to get there as opposed to Howland Hill Road which is a longer drive on gravel with lots of potholes. Park rangers give a guided tour of the Grove at 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

1001 Front StWalker Road located off Highway 199 at about the 3 mile mark provides a great little trail through old growth redwoods. The Simpson Discovery trail and the Petersen trail is an easy walk (around a mile). Did you know that redwoods don't burn like other trees because their bark contains no resin? These are some of the factoids you will find out during your walk. Park on Walker Road close to the bathrooms to get on the trail head. Park rangers offer guided tours, check at the Information Center in Hiouchi for details.

This is a beautiful little park filled with Azaleas and Rhododendrons which are stunning in the springtime. The park also offers free concerts in the summer and turns into a wonderland filled with Christmas lights in the winter. Another highlight is the Capella by the Sea which overlooks the harbor. This beautiful Capella was built by Elmo Williams, an Oscar award winning film director, producer and editor, to honor his wife.

Visit Paul Bunyan and Babe, his Blue Ox. Take a ride up the Sky Trail Gondola which takes you through the tree canopy and provides a distant ocean view. I recommend taking a picnic lunch or snack to the top. The Trail of Tales is very interesting as is the free Native American Indian museum which some have said exceeds the Smithsonian's collection of Indian tribal artifacts from this area. I'd also recommend the Forest Cafe which is across the street. It is uniquely painted to make you feel you are part of the forest and river scene.

Where the Smith River meets the Pacific Ocean. This is a must see if you like sea lions and birds. The mouth of the Smith River is also a popular spot in September for salmon fishing. You can also arrange to kayak along the Smith River with Smith River Kayaks which is located nearby.

If you only have a short time available and aren't traveling south but want to experience driving through a redwood, the Klamath Tour Thru Tree is just a short distance away. It is one of 3 such trees, the other 2 are located in Leggett and Myers Flat off from Highway 101. The Chandelier drive-thru tree in Leggett is the best one but the Shrine Drive through tree in Myers Flat is more intriguing as it is hollowed out all the way through the top.
