Come, let us walk among the giants [photos]

The place where Newman Creek joins the South Fork of the Eel River, an area that occasionally experiences enormous floods.



Our gateway to the Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

Humans for scale.







Surrounded:






Positively primeval.









Inside a tree, looking out.







Recent death by fire?




I can understand why people like northern California. Landscapes that filled me with a sense of wonder, and peace. We breathed in deep in this forest, and I'm certain winter is the best time to visit.

Thank you! I was so glad for the chance to walk among the redwoods. They are incredible trees.

That looks beautiful, I'm glad you shared it with us.

I could see this whole drive being kinda grand on a motorcycle someday (or bicycle, heh!).

[ivy]

I would love to do that! On either, though one takes more time than the other and I don't have the base mileage you do on a bike, haha.
