3/16 #CaliforniaWild #sponsored post • Of all the things we have been scheduled to see in the #NorthCoastCA for this adventure, the Redwoods were # 1 on my list of what I was most excited about. Because I LOVE trees, these ancient giants have always been calling me. Unlike so many things and places that can let you down when they’re overhyped, the Redwoods don’t do that. Instead, I’m told they have made grown men cry and they made me feel more at peace than I have in longer than I can remember. This trip is about bringing you the lesser-visited parts of the state of California, so we focused on Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and Founders Grove in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Both are part of the larger @redwoodnps system which links the National Park and State Parks into one system of stunning tree-filled goodness. Even though we skipped Avenue of the Giants and other parts of this park system that more visitors tend to frequent, we still saw the tallest and the biggest trees in California. We learned that they are so immense, they live in three climatic zones at once. The base of each tree is in one set, the stem of the tree is in another and the crown is in yet another. We also learned that there are Redwoods which have lived for over 1,000 years. The scale and the sheer majesty simply cannot be contained in a photo and photos make it hard to appreciate the scale so I wanted to show you one image that I took with my #fujifilmx_us X-T2 and another with my #goprohero5 so you can at least get an idea of just how massive the Redwoods are!! 🌲#RedwoodCountry #ThisIsAdventure #HumboldtRedwoods #VisitCalifornia #RedwoodTrees #FindYourPark
