There’s not much you can say about the Redwoods outside of gorgeous, stunning, amazing and humbling. We all were very excited to explore and we specifically targeted the Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt Redwoods State Park to see the wonder of these giant trees. The Immortal Tree and Founders Grove are there along with many other notable attractions. It was over a two hour drive from our cabin in Klamath, but it was well worth it. We woke up early to get there and spent the entire day.
Pictures don’t even do it 1/100,000th of justice, but we tried anyway:
As most people know, Ruby is completely obsessed with Star Wars, and since the Ewok land of Endor was filmed in the Redwood forest, she represented in her ewok shirt!
After a long day of exploring, we hit up the legendary Lost Coast Brewing Company in Eureka for dinner. It was the final brewery of this long tour! I even made an exception and ordered a sample of beer myself (I’m not a beer drinker!).
We wrapped up the day with a stop at the beach on the way home. It was freezing water, but this kid begged for a beach stop the whole day. She loves it!
You are right, Carrie! Words become such an inadequate tool to express the powerful experience we have when we face the greatness of nature. We simply feel awe in the presence of beauty and majesty of nature! I am so glad Ruby had this experience when she is still so young. I bet her mind has expanded tremendously through this trip. Absolutely Awesome!!!
