California SR 254 is known as the Avenue of the Giants.  It's a spectacular drive through redwoods groves along the Eel River in Humboldt County.  One could easily spend an entire day exploring this thirty mile stretch of road.  There are numerous places to stop for short hikes and sight seeing, as well as a few small towns where one can grab a bite to eat.
