The Lost Coast and the California Redwoods, places I’ve visited many times and can’t get enough of. This trip was special since I got to share them with someone who had never been. We visited several groves of my favorite trees in Redwoods National Park, Humboldt state park, and a few off the beaten path along the Lost Coast. We spent time around black sand beaches, Matole, SInkyone State Park, and hiked King Peak, the tallest peak in the coastal range. I bushwhacked to the summits of a few other obscure peaks, and we drove Usal Road, one of the wildest “maintained” roads in the lower 48. I’m already looking forward to my next visit…
