— Getting In —
Below are options for flying into California and driving to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park for the ceremony. The reception will be in Brookings, Oregon.
Option 1: Fly into California Redwood Coast - Humboldt County Airport (ACV) in Arcata, California.
Take a connecting flight from San Francisco International Airport in California to Humboldt County Airport, as there are no direct flights.
From Humboldt County Airport, drive 1.5 hours to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.
Option 2: Fly into Rogue Valley International - Medford Airport (MFR) in Jackson County, Oregon.
Take a connecting flight from Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah to Medford Airport, as there are no direct flights.
From Medford Airport, drive 2 hours to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.
Option 3: Fly into Del Norte County Airport (CEC) in Crescent City, California.
Take a connecting flight from Oakland International Airport to Del Norte County Airport, as there are no direct flights.
Please note that there is only ONE flight scheduled per day. In the unlikely event the weather conditions in Oakland cause the flight to be cancelled, you will likely have to get on the flight the following day.
Best practice for guests coming from outside California: You can take a flight to San Francisco International Airport, and then drive, taxi, or take the train to Oakland International Airport in California.
From Del Norte County Airport, drive 15 minutes to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.
Option 4: Fly into San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in San Francisco, California.
Take a direct or connecting flight to San Francisco International Airport in California.
From the San Francisco International Airport, drive 6-7 hour to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. (We recommend taking U.S. Route 101 for scenic sea/beach/forest/lake view. And yes, you can see all of those things at once!)
— Car Rental Options —
California Redwood Coast - Humboldt County Airport (ACV): Try National, Enterprise, Avis, or Budget. They all have similar ratings.
Rogue Valley International - Medford Airport (MFR): Seems like the best car rentals are National and Enterprise.
Del Norte County Airport (CEC): This airport is the most friendly for those not driving. For car service when you land, check out Coastal Cab Company at https://g.co/kgs/WntfhsT. If driving, you can try Avis.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO): We have used Sixt, which was reliable and offers advance check-in. However, National and Enterprise also seem good. Note the car rental center is only accessible by shuttle train from your terminal, and you should plan to budget extra time. See here.
