When the Dyerville giant, a tree in the southern part of the park, blew down in a storm a few years ago, there was mud splattered up to sixty feet high on the sides of other redwoods hundreds of feet away. Must've been an amazing sight if anybody had actually been there to see it. I personally have been in the redwoods during an earthquake and was able to witness a huge redwood vibrate like a giant guitar string moving over a foot to each side near the ground! Love your channel, love your attitude, keep up the great work!
36 hours? I lived in Eureka for 13 months, it was amazing! All the redwood trails are incredible, but Stout Grove was always one of my favorites too! There is just something magical about a redwood forest.
Yes, they have planted them all over. In Scotland and New Zealand too! I lived in the Chicago area as a kid. La Grange Park. I remember going to the Brookfield Zoo and seeing the tropical rainforest exhibit when it was new!
I greatly appreciate you showing the type of roads that access the trailheads. We are a retired couple with a 24' Class C motorhome, so it is good to see which roads we can travel down and which ones we need to enjoy vicariously through your videos.
We couldn't agree more. As a former park ranger, I put together this site with insider tips on how and where to see the big trees there: redwoodcoastparks.com/redwood-national-park/
I just got back from a trip to the Redwoods, one of my favorite places on Earth! I didn't get to see as much as I would have liked so definitely would love to go back. Thanks for including all of these Scenic spots on your trip, not only is it helpful but I love looking back at all the beauty that exists in that incredible place. 🌲☺️🌲
I've watched several of your videos showing hiking paths, scenery, etc. Is it really that beautiful that nothing looks real? Everything looks so perfect. The paths in this video look clean, you guys are NEVER swatting at bugs, and everything is such a perfect green! Is CALIFORNIA seriously THAT beautiful??
This is awesome. We are tentatively planning a road trip there either this year or next, depending on Covid-19. My wife has mobility issues and this was an absolutely fantastic insight on what to see and length of the trails etc. It was such a great video to watch and very informative. Thank you.
It had been almost 5 years since I had been as well, and that was the only time I have ever visited. Such an awesome spot but very far off the beaten path!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m planning a 2 day trip through the redwoods and you hit a lot of the hikes I wanted to do. I was debating on Trillium Falls but now I know we can just do the short hike to the falls and back! Perfect. And I also think Stout Grove is so beautiful:)
The past couple years I’ve driven through the redwoods and took a few of the hikes that you did. I did all that you did except the tall trees hike. This past September I took three days to see parts of the redwoods I had never seen before and stayed only at local non chain motels and that was a highlight. We hiked around the avenue of the giants and even did a ranger walk which was phenomenal and free. And I finally saw fern canyon. Trillium falls loop is mind blowing. You have to come back and do the entire loop. It’s not hard but it’s so beautiful. Especially if you see it when I did in May when the trillium are in full bloom and the falls are at their peak. Thanks for posting. I love your posts about this beautiful state in which we live
Thanks for sharing and for the suggestions. I agree that I need to do the whole Trillium Falls Loop, I was surprised by how amazing it was just in the small section that we saw.
Big Basin National Park has some massive redwoods and a couple of nice waterfalls. It is located about 40 min from San Jose and 90 min from San Francisco.
After watching your video we left Arcadia California to visit our granddaughter at university of Oregon then we headed out to Redwoods spectacular and hikes are very easy and so so beautiful 👀🌲thank you🌲🌲🌲❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video, as usual. I love seeing both you in the videos. P. S. Thanks to your great video on Santa Cruz island, my daughter and I finally camped there. It was AWESOME. your video made clear on how to book. Love your videos!!!
I miss Eureka I was based in a small naval facility near Ferndale , Centerville Beach its closed now. But used to go up to Eureka all the time since it was the biggest town , and loved to drive the avenue of the giants
Ah Redwoods NP. I had an interesting experience there several years ago. I had to have a tow truck pull my truck, which got stuck halfway off the road on a steep hill back onto the road. (A car was coming the other way and wouldn't share the road so I kept having to get further and further over until I basically had to go off the road to not hit them, but also almost rolled down the mountain doing so. And got stuck.)
Oops! I should have waited until I watched the entire video before posting a comment. This is a super video and it felt like I was there with you. As I might be driving to the west coast next year, we'll try to work it in. Thanks for posting.
Out of all the videos I've seen about this area this is the first time that I ever heard you needed a code to get in there thank you for that information I think it's just good to know ahead of time
Living in Fortuna, I get to see this all the time. Lived here since '72 and I still haven't seen it all. Seen the Dyerville Giant and the Flatiron trees before they fell. I hope you stopped by Dyerville Grove and Rockefeller Forest on your way through. Avenue of the Giants is also a must drive. Since it parallels 101, there's no reason to miss that.
@ZowyTheRottweiler I do. My daughter and I take drives quite often, especially right after storms. When these blow down, it's like a bomb went off. Another poster mentioned the Dyerville Giant splattering mud 60 feet up on other trees. But he didn't mention that it fell against another that is about 100 feet away, and it stripped limbs and bark from about 150 feet up. At 367 feet tall it was once the third tallest known. Now, laying on the ground, it gives another perspective that is still awe-inspiring. A few years ago another tree fell across it and crushed the base while splintering into what looks like a pile of lumber. It is hard to describe the sheer size of that tangle of trees. We find new trails to explore all the time. I am lucky to live here.
My favorite part of trillium falls is seeing the endangered trillium growing everywhere. We had them growing in the forest behind our house when I grew up. The older they are the darker mauve they become. Don’t pick them because you kill the plant and they don’t easily reproduce. But they are one of my fav flowers in the world. And they grow in temperate rain forest climates only. Cool we have that here in CA. Thank for posting
I finally learned what your second channel is called. This video popped up in my feed & I have subscribed. I had an aunt & uncle who first lived in Arcadia, and then Tehachapi.
I was born near Eureka, which is just south of the park. When I was young, we moved to Arizona and I've been here ever since. I sort of have a slight anger built up around the subject. Because the area of Az we moved to is boring as all heck... Yet I was born in a wonderful area. One day, hopefully soon, I will hike the Redwoods and enjoy the peace
Moved from Tucson to eureka so I understand lol it's boring as heck both places but definitely more beautiful and fun nature wise with the redwoods and ocean and lakes. Arizona is a different type of beauty.
Thanks for a great overview of Redwood National and State Parks. As a resident who lives about 75 miles away, I appreciate how respectful you were on your journey throughout the park. Will definitely check out a couple trails you highlighted (We tend to stick with our faves, lol.). Lady Bird is my favorite. My husband would love the Gold Bluffs, though. Thanks guys!
Great video of the area I live in! I noticed the video is 3 years old so just a heads up that now you have to make appointments to visit both the Tall Trees Grove and Fern Canyon, whereas before you just had to stop and get a code for Tall Trees and just show up at Fern Canyon. Also, sometimes the water is too high for making the water crossing on the way to Fern Canyon, in which case you have to park and walk in from the water crossing.
We camped at RNSP last summer in Prarie Creek State Park. We loved it! When we hiked Fern Canyon we had to walk through ankle deep water for a good portion of it. Worth it! Another great video.
The 4 mile hike(very easy BTW) is so beautiful and the trail starts at Praire Creek State Park and ends at Fern canyon. Do the hike to and back and see one of the most beautiful places in California. Or if can't do the hike there is a gravel road to Fern canyon just north of Orick to the coast.
I only have 1 video from the Redwoods and now you're giving me incentives to make a few more. 😎💚 I've been in love with the California Redwoods since my then-boyfriend/now-husband took me to see them in 1987. You're doing a great job showing some of the best parts. I haven't seen your list of videos, so forgive me for asking if you've been down to Rockefeller Grove (which is along the Avenue of the Giants)? If not, it's my second favorite Grove, second only to Holland Hill Rd and the multiple groves along it. Both are worth hiking through, and Holland Hill is extraordinary in a Wrangler with the top down. 😎🥰 Hope to see you out and about next time!
I started visiting small local parks in South Florida and really eager to expand the list to add many as I can, thanks for the tips on the red woods, it'll definitely come handy when visiting!
Come and visit again. There are some great places south of Orick before the visitors center. Including Patrick's Point, Moonstone Beach, BIg Lagoon, and more. I think you'll need at least 5 days next time.
Def do the entire trillium falls hike. Actually the hike from the parking lot to the falls was the least impressive part of the hike to me. And I love the falls. The rest of the trail is full of big trees and just stunning beauty. I could spend two weeks in the redwoods and not see it all

That's cool

I wish I could live there for a year and get to know the area as well!
Sequoias grow not only in this park, they also grow in Mexico, Brazil. The always arouse my admiration.... from Chicago, Illinois.
Yes, they have planted them all over. In Scotland and New Zealand too!
I lived in the Chicago area as a kid. La Grange Park. I remember going to the Brookfield Zoo and seeing the tropical rainforest exhibit when it was new!
It's the forest moon of Endor !
It is!
Also Isla Sorna!
I miss Redwood National Park, such a beautiful place

Glad it was helpful!
Great filming and just the right amount of talking. Makes me want to visit, soon!
Yes that’s why I lk his vdos
You would love trillium falls in the spring when the trillium flowers are blooming and the falls have more water. It’s quite amazing.
So awesome, I will have to go back in the spring!
I’m so proud to be from Cali 🥰
Sadly California is a very overpopulated place with many poor people and beggars, COVID is sadly very big there :(
@@kobedunn465the weak politicians amplified all the fear while dining out without masks… californians are terrible voters
You've inspired me to make a trip up there with a friend next year!
Awesome! It is a beautiful area to explore!
Maybe I’ll see you
I live here and frequent these locations all of the time. Your video is great!
I’m so jealous! I wish I lived there. It’s the most beautiful place on earth, in my opinion. Redwoods are just magical.
I been there with my family 18 years ago I was 16 back then Yes it’s very beautiful 😊
Unusual for a national park, vehicle access to most sites is excellent. Definitely family friendly.
Such a wonderful surprise to me as a Californian, I love the video and it make me want to visit your route!! Thank You!!
Wonderful place.....thanks for showing us.
This looks much better than fighting the crowds at Muir Woods near SF!
And it feels more historical, to me.
That is true!
We couldn't agree more. As a former park ranger, I put together this site with insider tips on how and where to see the big trees there: redwoodcoastparks.com/redwood-national-park/
@@redwoodcoastparks6333 Thanks!
@@redwoodcoastparks6333 Thank you! It’s my personal favorite national park!
Live here in Crescent City for 45 years and walk the redwood trails all the time. Very good video you did

I've been there before, it's a really cool place!
I enjoy the lady interjections. Really serves as a collaborative enjoyment adventure.
and she got a donk...lol
BEAUTIFUL video I Was there about 15 years ago and I want to go back thanks to your video.
This is incredible, the nature is looking healthier
Fern Canyon in the area is pretty Awesome!
Big Basin National Park has some massive redwoods and a couple of nice waterfalls. It is located about 40 min from San Jose and 90 min from San Francisco.
I really want to see this…but is is currently closed after the fire and rains.
Wow with those huge backpacks!
I need to start planning a trip up there. These views are gorgeous 😍

Great videos guys. Thank you for taking us on your adventures. Well done.
Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous
Great work as usual you guys! I have put Fern canyon on the list for whenever we get to do a California run!
Awesome! It is a pretty special spot for sure!
Look out. Fern Canyon is a hotbed of dinosaur activity: redwoodcoastparks.com/fern-canyon-dinos/
Amazing place 😍😍😍😍
Great video, as usual.
I love seeing both you in the videos.
P. S. Thanks to your great video on Santa Cruz island, my daughter and I finally camped there. It was AWESOME. your video made clear on how to book. Love your videos!!!
Thanks for the comment! I am so glad the video helped you and your daughter have a fun camping trip!
In most of this video, you are not in Redwood National Park, but several of our lovely California State Parks.
your videos have helped me explore my home state of CA so much!! I love your videos the most out of all other travel vloggers
