Our mission was to see the beauty of The Majestic Redwood Forest in Northern California and explore Southern Oregon.
The Avenue of the Giants set the tone for this adventure. “This world-famous scenic drive is by far the most outstanding display of giant trees in the California redwood belt.”
These two weren’t sure driving over a thousand miles with a 2-year-old, 10-year-old, and a pregnant mommy was the best idea, but we don’t regret it a bit!
We picked up a faster-than-average rental car, and kept driving until we reached the Giants.
We drove through the famous “drive through tree”. There are actually several of them in the area, and one of them was toppled during a recent storm.
It was great to get off the road and wander through the splendor of creation.
During exploration, we found evidence of previous road trips…
My wife climbs a giant!
It was great to see the children so stoked about being out walking in the beauty of nature.
When we made it to the coast, the scenery didn’t get any worse.
