I don't recall the road name, but in cresent city if you stop at the ranger station they will give you a route of an OLD road from crescent city to part way through the redwoods that is a MUST TAKE drive. It's a gravel road, mostly 1 1/2 lane with turnouts, but don't worry it's easily navigable by most any vehicle. we took our 3/4 ton crew cab w/o any problems, and most small SUV's would be fine as well. lots of places to stop and take pictures, great redwoods, great drive. IIRC it's about a 30 mile drive. there are multiple places to stop and park and take short and long hikes as well. many of the stopping spots have turnouts and parking and benches as well.
