On our drive from Crescent City to Santa Rosa we took a little detour off the main highway and drove through the Avenue of the Giants which took us through Humbolt Redwoods State Park.
A truly beautiful drive. We took a few walks into the trees and and within a few hundred feet we felt like we had been transported back in time. The silence was eerie and at the same time very peaceful. Quite the change from the rat race that is San Francisco that was but 2 days away.
We drove through a small town and were greeted by some locals waiting for a break in traffic to take the school crossing across the road. Had to be about 25 of them.
Just think of what was happening when this tree was a sapling.
Just one more tree of note.
More northern California coming up
