I think this is the key question to consider. There are lots of groups of big trees closer to SF, such as at Muir Woods. What Redwoods National Park gives you is larger groups of somewhat bigger trees (although hard to appreciate from ground level) but above all remoteness and isolation, along with wild coastlines. But it’s not the spectacle that you get in Yosemite or Sequoia National Parks (those are sequoias not redwoods but are much more impressive from ground level).
