One of the most northern coast redwood hiking trails. North of the Oregon border.

Like Apollo of the forest ...

A few more days, then another drive through the redwoods again.

 

This is different for a change of pace. This is woman from the college town Arcata south of Redwood National Park. This was taken in smaller redwood park within the city limits.

 You're welcome.

 

I enjoy reviewing the photos too, in between visits. Some with zoom lens even let me see details I didn't notice while in the parks. Here's something a bit different. A couple who flew over from Hawaii to have a wedding ceremony in the redwood park. 

 

This is the groom waiting for the "first look" tradition.

This is a previously shared image which I converted for another photo website's monochrome woods category this week. Although I often prefer color, this black and white look conveys the mood of this road shortly after the dark of night leaves.

Every time I wonder if all the big ones have been found, another new giant shows it's face for the first time.  We were in the forest late this day and needed flashlights to get back out.
