We went to Redwoods National Park and did a couple short hikes through different groves, then headed south to Humboldt Redwoods State Park to get our fill of these gigantic trees. We also got to see some elk.
We also drove inland and through the Sonoma Valley on the way to San Francisco... hot, dry and more grapes than you could ever want. We didn’t sample any of the wine but we did see a palm tree!
Just before San Francisco, we cut back to the coast. The coast only an hour or two north of the city was surprisingly unpopulated and rugged. Foggy, almost no trees, neat succulent plants, surfers and lots of interesting road kill, including a ringtail (like a raccoon but more lemur-like with a long skinny tail). Also got to see shorebirds including egrets and herons.
