Our first stop was Cannon Beach, Oregon. That is Haystack Rock behind us. It is 235 feet tall - whoa!
This is at Chetco Point in Brookings, Oregon. It was a fun little hike with some amazing views out at the point. It used to be an old wharf and you can still see some old pilings. There was a fisherman fishing off those rocks in the background. Who knows how he got out there!
Finally we made it to the Redwood National Forests! This is at the Del Norte Coast State Park, outside of Crescent City. That's a big stinkin tree.
This wasn't even near the biggest trees in the park, but provided a good photo opportunity. What a happy family!
At the Trees of Mystery we rode the Sky Trail high above the trees. It was 570' high and so fun but so scary! Mom was the most freaked out but deep down I think she loved it. It was a slow and nerve wracking 7-minute ride to the top where we got out at the viewpoint and looked around. To one side was the ocean and the other was beautiful California mountains! This might've been the best part of the trip.
Apparently Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox reside at the Trees of Mystery. Paul was even taller than my Dad! I even got my own little Babe that I love to chew on.
Here are Daddy and I at Fern Canyon in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park - yes, that's us way down there in the corner. Parts of Jurassic Park were filmed here. It's a skinny little canyon with 50' tall walls covered completely in ferns! It was such a beautiful walk through the canyon.
On our way out of Fern Canyon we stopped to check out the California coast! I was really mesmerized by those waves. Mom and Dad both got soaked by waves that were a lot bigger than they looked!
We saw lots of other great things like wild elk, sea lions, lighthouses, lots and lots of cool bridges, and a ton of amazing views along the coast! It's good to be back to my crib but that sure was one awesome road trip.
