Redwoods

We woke up in the Redwoods and made some coffee and oatmeal before our hiking. The sun started to peak through the tops of the trees  and it was something else. We could walk to some of the trails from our tent site so that was perfect. 

 

Our walk through these giants was pretty amazing. Once again we found ourselves saying, "wow...this is crazy".  It really was crazy, these things are huge and unbelievable. We were so happy we stopped to see them.

 

We came across some trees that had fallen within the trails so they had to cut them (that has to be a big chainsaw). To put it in perspective he's about 6'3". 

 

  

Or sometimes they would just cut a hole in it so you could walk through, it was pretty neat. Below is Mo beginning a tree hugger.  It's like a real life set of Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

 

After our hike we got onto route 1 to drive south for a little while. We saw signs for Drive thru Tree, so naturally we followed them. We got to the entrance and it was five dollars, but that wasn't the problem...we couldn't fit. Because of our top carrier we weren't able to go thru, oh well, we had seen some awesome redwoods already!
