Redwood National Park aka: The Redwoods, Redwood Forest

I grew up half and hour from the redwoods, and they hold a special place in my heart.

It is difficult for my husband and I to get back to that part of California, but someday I want to show him their unique beauty.

Just thinking about the redwoods makes me happy. I can almost smell them now. :)

The Redwood Forest is a magical place~ as you enter the forest the silence is magnificent~ the forest floor is soft and immediately you feel the energy of the ancient trees… As you walk through the forest one gains a feeling that comes from being in the presence of spiritual awakening~ this is the church that I love the best~ my soul is renewed as I walk through the tall ancient trees and I feel the sacredness in each breath!

I personally liked Humboldt Redwoods State Park better.

We stopped and hiked through the Redwoods for a few hours during our trip up the coast. It was a fun time. Surprisingly, we didn’t run into too many people on the trail, so it was a nice quite afternoon.

I started off early yesterday morning on a road trip up the coast, for a much needed vacation! I decided to try and check as many places off this list as I could (plus hit a few places that were going to get on the list next).

Redwood National Park was one of my first stops as I went up the California coastline. I have vague memories of visiting a redwood forest as a young child, but I don’t think my family ever visited this park.

I took the short hike to the Lady Bird Johnson Grove, and it was still fairly early on a weekday morning so it was incredibly quiet and peaceful. It’s an amazing sight to look up one of those giant redwoods!

this is a beautiful humbling place to visit.

The redwood forests of Northern California are a must visit. There is nothing else quite like it.

A friend and I arrived in Redwood National Park during the off season in March. Having not found an open campground, we pulled off on a service road in the middle of the Park and found a clearing where we pitched a tent and fell asleep.

I woke up to see beautiful, high clouds with bits of bright blue peeking through. But instead of a fluffy white, these clouds were green. It took a minute to realize that I was looking up at a high canopy above – way above. It was absolutely breathtaking.

This is a place you must see.

Went here with my first wife, and remember being in awe of the tall beauty that is a redwood tree.

I live near Redwood National Park. Slowly I am exploring and photographing everything I see there.
