More Big Trees

We left Gold Beach and headed down coastal Rt. 101 to the town of Arcata and set up camp. We then backtracked north to hit some of the points of interest in Redwood Park. A commercial attraction that has a gondola (like a ski lift) strung through trees was well adverised and we gave it a shot. Mystery Trees. The mystery is why they installed it in a grove of small trees. It was fair at best.
From there we headed back south through the park. The Lady Bird Johnson Grove was the best in show. About a 1 mile loop trail zig-zagging among gigantic old growth trees. They throw your sense of proportions off. It was spectacular.
