This trip was my introduction into the wonder of the Redwoods and Sequoias. I have to first tell you that I have a deep love of trees. I morn when they die/are destroyed. I love their unique shapes and glorious shade. I just love them.
Anyway, when I first saw the giant, GIANT things, I was in awe. There is literally nothing like standing next to something that is tall as a skyscraper, yet is a living organism. Its trunk is as wide as my car. It appears to touch the clouds. It is just inspiring. I could have spent hours and hours wandering through the forest enjoying them.
We were lucky enough to find 2 separate Parks (Trail of 100 Giants [randomly unlocked National Forest Park area] and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park) that were open (all the national ones were locked up: government shut down). They weren't the big, famous parks, but still full of beautiful trees.
(Yes, that's me. I had to climb a few stumps to even get up high enough to see out.)
