THE NORTHERNMOST LINK in the California chain of hostels, the Redwood National Park Hostel is located in mist-shrouded Redwood National Park -- a World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve -- just a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean.

---

The hostel, built in 1908, was the pioneer home of the Louis DeMartin family.  The hostel promotes sustainable living concepts through recycling and conservation of natural resources.  Information is available on hiking trails, park attractions, and the ecology, economy, and history of the local area.

Hostellers can explore the spectacular California Coastal Trail or take day and half-day hikes through the immense trees of the primordial Redwood Forest, and possibly glimpse Roosevelt elk, black bear, mountain lions, or even the legendary Bigfoot!  Hostellers may also cycle the Bikecentennial Coastal Route, surf, swim, enjoy a driftwood fire on the beach, and watch for migrating whales offshore or birds as they travel the Pacific Flyway.
