There was no doubt we had crossed the line.
We‘d gone all the way down the Oregon Coast
and had wandered into California .
Another sure sign we were in California .
So instead of Redwood
National Park we went through Jedediah Smith
State Park , still on the California side of the
border, but not nearly as crowded. The
redwood groves there are considered, “the
most scenic in existence.”
According
to redwoodhikes.com--“The park isn't
known for the height of its trees, but it does have many of the world's largest
redwoods by volume, and on the best trails trees of truly stupendous size are
set among smaller redwoods.”
BIG
Trees.
REALLY
big trees.
Yet
their branches carry the most delicate boughs of lacy needles.
We
were running way short on vacation time
so we returned to Oregon and the road that leads home.

Oh I am in love those big massive red woods make my heart all a flutter. B
Holy cow! Those are huge! What magnificent trees! That's something I'd like to see one day.
It's been more than thirty years since I drove down hightway 101 saw redwoods. I don't remember Paul and Babe. If they were there then, there were far less impressive.
Those trees are amazing. I would love to see them. They are so awe inspiring. I am always very impressed by trees, the older and bigger the better!
Fabulous trees! When we encountered a very large concrete ram on holiday, Malcolm said "make sure you get his b***s in the photo"!!
The size of those trees boggles the mind.
Ooh! I feel faint. Nature's majesty takes my breath away. And I'm not talking about Babe.
Those red wood trees are pretty amazing! How old are they to get so huge? Anyway, I don't like queues either - if I can, I turn around. No point in going where the masses go, how can you properly commune with nature when there are thousands of people clambering over you?
I have always wanted to see one of those trees, in person. Tried to work it into a trip west a couple years ago but just couldn't cover the requisite distance.
Still want to see one of those trees in person.
