Next I drove into the Redwood National Forest, where I encountered the unbelievably tall redwood trees:

One day we will make that trip ourselves. I would love to see the redwood forest and northern CA. We drove the PCH from SF south to L.A. a couple summers ago and it was spectacular! I only wish we were not in such a hurry. You should try that route sometime, too!
