Redwood National Park
California
Exploring Redwood National Park felt like stepping into another world, where towering giants that have stood for over 1,000 years dominate the landscape. One of my favorite trails was the Simpson-Reed Grove Trail, where the ancient Redwoods create a serene and awe-inspiring atmosphere. Walking beneath these massive trees, it's easy to feel the weight of their history.
I also drove along Howland Hill Road, a scenic route that winds through dense forests and offers close up views of some of the park's most impressive trees. Every twist and turn revealed breathtaking scenes of towering redwoods and lush ferns.
Big Tree
One of the highlights of my visit to Redwood National Park was seeing the legendary Big Tree. Standing at over 300 feet tall and estimated to be about 1,500 years old, this iconic redwood is a symbol of the park's natural beauty and history. Walking up to this tree, I felt a sense of awe at it's sheer size and age. It is a must-see stop for anyone visiting the park, offering an humbling reminder of the incredible life these trees have lived. I found myself thinking of all the things this tree must have seen throughout history. Oh, if trees could talk!
