California Redwoods - What a Sight!

After Lassen, our next stop was the California Redwoods! This was the stop on the trip that I was most looking forward to as I've heard quite a bit about the Redwoods and always wanted to see them. The drive from Lassen to the Redwoods, however, was 4 hours straight of mountain driving. That was exhausting and taxing, but we made it through eventually.

After all that strenuous mountain driving, we decided to do a very easy walking path through the Redwoods. Neither of us wanted to wear hiking boots, so we went with a 1 mile walk through the Redwood groves. We had also planned to do more of a driving tour of the Redwoods up the coast the next day, so we didn't mind seeing less on foot.

On a completely different note, there are two food-oriented things that I will leave this trip with a greater appreciation for: black olives and sour cream. Neither of these things have I particularly liked before, but I do find them rather delicious now.
