These parks had an interesting layout. They were scattered over many miles. Then, the California State Parks were interspersed with the National Park. In each individual park you will see groves of Redwoods that are dedicated to the people that help purchase the land the groves are situated on. So it took us several days of riding around to see it.
What we didn't know was that a good portion of the park is also on the Pacific Ocean beach. The dogs had fun on the beach, they hadn't seen one for quite a while.
Of course the beach looks a bit different than the one we are used to in Florida.
Being a coast line you will see some very pretty buildings with a nice background. Like this restored light house in Crescent City, CA.
When I think of Elk I think high country forest. So I was quite amazed to see this big fellow grazing so close to the ocean.
We rode many miles looking at scenery similar to this.
Take pictures of Redwoods is really hard. They are so big you can't get them into a single camera frame.
Of course we have to horse around a little on hikes.
And we stopped at some wineries along the way. I think this one is a local favorite.
These trees are amazing. Old, big, and the bases tend to get hollowed out by fire or disease. It makes for good photo op.
Of course being in Northern California during the start of the Salmon run gives one great opportunity for fresh salmon. A neighbor in one of the RV parks appreciated a little help that I gave them and rewarded us with a nice Salmon filet that he had caught that day. We ate a lot of Salmon during this period, but none as fresh as this.
