The day after we arrived (we got to our cabin around 10 pm after driving up hwy 1 on the coast from San Francisco) we went to hike Tall Tree Grove and ran into Deitra and Ellie from JBU- random!
Huge!
Pretty trees
On the beach
Lady Bird Johnson Grove- the trees are tall!
The next day we hiked the Damnation Creek Trail. We had the whole trail and beach to ourselves for the first couple hours! I felt like a stud for hiking it since it is a 1200 ft elevation drop/incline over 4.5 miles!
The hike led through beautiful redwoods down to the beach!
Since we were only 30 minutes from Oregon, we thought we'd take the chance to cross the state line!
Back to CA!
Jedediah Smith State Park- Stout Grove (where they filmed the ewok stuff in star wars)
We went looking for tide pools at low tide- we found a ton of star fish and anemones!
In front of the National Park sign
In order to get to Fern Canyon, we had to abandon our car (there were several places where the water covered the road). On the way we passed by this big elk herd.
Fern Canyon Sign- if you zoom in this pic you can see about 10 banana slugs crawling on the sign- gross!
Beautiful scenery!
Patrick's Point State Park- looking for seals
Found 1!!!!
Back in San Francisco for a few hours before our plane back to Denver...
Trying to take a pic of us with the Golden Gate Bridge at Fisherman's Wharf (a little too far away- you can see it a tiny bit in the background- hehe).

Anyplace that you might want to wear a jacket to in late July is an awesome place.
Not to mention the Sequoias, sweet marine life, and fog. Jealous.
