Redwood National Park/ The Trees of Mystery

After leaving Yosemite National Park, we made our way to Redwood National Park. The majority of people who have heard or know of Redwood National Park assume it’s just home to the tallest trees on earth (larger than the Statue of Liberty) . Maybe I was one of those people as well, but there is a lot more than what you may have heard. Redwood is home to more than 40 miles of rugged coastline, rivers, prairies, and woodlands. The park also offers kayaking, biking, wildlife watching, and of course lots of trails for hiking.

When we arrived, the park had recently received lots of rain, and the weather wasn’t all that cooperative with us either. Just driving through the park with some bad weather was still amazing, it just made some of the trails pretty hard to hike. Always taking it in stride, we made the best of the situation at hand. We got in as much as we could, took as many pictures as possible, and still had a great time, perfect weather was not needed.

While at our campsite the night before, another camper told us to check out the Trees of Mystery, as it would not disappoint. Having seen so many attractions on the road during our journey, we generally don’t stop and consider them tourist traps. I can honestly say that this is not that! They offer a Redwood canopy trail, where you walk on suspension bridges connected by the Redwoods. they also have a hiking trails, gondola ride, and a plethora of trees that I’ve never heard of in my life.
