For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to visit the Redwood Forest.
I had the same desire, and high expectations, for visiting Crater Lake in Oregon, and I was bitterly disappointed.
So arriving in the Redwood National Parks, I let go of all previous expectations, and allowed myself to simply experience the forest without prejudice.
Standing in the presence of these majestic, colossal trees, you feel the aura of their wisdom and a connection through the ages, knowing their life has spanned thousands of years.
Redwood National Forests also protect 37 miles of coastline
These trees grow up to 375 feet tall!
There's more than trees in the Redwood Forest

'Big Tree' - the biggest tree in this forest
Right outside the forest, these elk were peacefully grazing.

I grew up and still live there…just a few miles south of Redwood National Park. I love that place!
