2. As Christina DeGiovanni—editor and owner of
The Emerald Magazine—knows,
Humboldt County, California, features one of the
most beautiful natural environments in the United
States. As home to Redwood National Park,
Humboldt County is densely forested and includes
giant trees that are five stories taller than the
Statue of Liberty. The county contains more than
1,000 square miles of protected old growth coast
redwood forests and provides opportunities for
outdoor enthusiasts to hike, bike, and ride horses
on more than 200 miles of trails.
3. However, outdoor activities are just one of
Humboldt County’s many charms. Christina
DeGiovanni focuses quarterly editions of The
Emerald Magazine on a range of topics, including
home and garden, arts and culture, health, and
cuisine. The magazine aims to be a guide to the
county’s varied attractions. As home to more than
130,000 residents and drawing hundreds of
thousands of visitors annually, Humboldt County
features many treasures, including a dramatic
coastline and unique small towns.
4. Located 200 miles north of San Francisco,
Humboldt County is a popular destination for
Northern California travelers. Tourists who visit
Humboldt County to view its famous redwoods
often find themselves struck by the area’s
numerous other outdoor and cultural sites.
