Aug. 4th Wednesday
Today we explored the REDWOODS! What a marvel they are, so amazing and magnificent! We had a little trouble getting down the coast because there had been a huge slide that took out a place on the road, so the road was only open certain hours. We had to wait for a couple of hours!! Once on our way we stopped and hiked a little trail called Yurok Loop Trail. It was like being in a storybook!
When I was a little girl, we stopped to see Paul Bunyan and Babe! However, the Sky Trail and Gondola ride were added in 2001.
We bought tickets for $20 for an amazing walk through all different kinds of redwoods, some on Ripley's "Believe it or Not" then a walk way above the ground on hanging rope bridges and finished with a gondola ride way above the trees!!
The view from the top!!
After spending a few hours at Trees of Mystery, we had to drive our car through a huge redwood tree!!
Since we couldn't get back to Crescent City until the road opened at 7pm. the only place we could find to eat that was open was a Casino and we were lucky to find that!
The hydrangeas in Oregon are the most fabulous colors of purple, pink and blue!!
