It seems we have been seeing giant trees ever since we hit the west coast. We saw Giant Sequoias in Yosemite National Park in California. These were in select groves of old growth forest with just a few very large trees, some named. We saw more giant trees in Olympic National Park (Redwoods, I think), and they were just as stunning. Then, in the last few days as we crossed into California along route 101 (and route 1 in places), we hit Redwood National and State Parks and hit the jackpot of giant trees.
Although we did stop in at one of the National Park Visitor Centers, we would not have had to enter either of the parks to see the beautiful and bountiful redwood forests that dot the northern California coastline. We drove through grove after grove of the amazing straight, tall, proud trees just along the roadside. I hope you enjoy these photos from the famed "Avenue of the Giants".
