Our first destination of our road trip 2012 was the Redwood Forest Avenue of the Giants. None of us had ever been and we were excited to see this natural wonder. And it did not disappoint. We were awed by the hugeness of these majestic trees. The whole forest of giant trees was amazing. Mile after mile of these ginormous beautiful trees.
We were able to drive on the scenic highway through the forest. We were able to tour a one log house and walk through the drive thru tree (our Suburban was too big to drive thru ;( We hiked around a nature trail and even stopped at the side of the road to see some really big trees.
There was a couple play houses made out of giant redwoods and on the nature hike we came upon a tree that had been knocked over in a flood and you could see the giant root system and again appreciate just how big these trees are.
It was a wonderful 31 mile stretch of Hwy 101 in California and we thoroughly enjoyed our day driving through there. Amazing!
