The Last of the Redwoods

I can't believe its already been a month since we went on this trip.  Life has been crazy for us, nothing too unusual.  I've been trying to paint my room ('trying' is the key word there, still not done), Tyson's been in hunting/camping mode which means he's gone, we've made a few trips to Utah, kids started school and soccer, I'm supposed to be working ('supposed' to be - key word again) and I'm trying to plan Mackenzie's birthday party. The month of August has went by in a flash!

So anyways, I have to post the rest of  the trip:

After going to the Tall Trees Grove, we made it up to Crescent City, saw some sea lions, and headed into Jedediah Smith State Park.  This was my favorite park!  Just breathtaking.  And this is where I knew was the secret "Grove of Titans" where the real tallest trees in the world are.  So my adventurous drive in me decided to not do one of my planned hikes and instead hunt for this Grove of Titans with the few clues I had.  We went through Stout Grove first.  It's an amazing little 1/2 mile 5-star hike.  Then we hiked around for about 2 hours searching for the Grove of Titans.  We still don't know if we found it, but they all looked like they could be 'it'.  It was just super fun to hike around, having to meander through a forest that had no trails, giant ferns, fallen trees that somehow we climbed over and then run into giant trees that make you think you found it.

Exploring Stout Grove

This tree we thought just maybe could have been it.  Not sure though.

Not a great picture of me, but check out these 3-leaf clovers.  The forest floor is covered in these and all I wanted to do was tip-toe my way in the middle and lay down in them...and so I did...several times!
