7/28/15. We started our journey through the Redwood National and State Park at one of the visitor's center to get our stamps and maps. According to the National Park website:
We first explored the coastal region with stunning views of the rocky landscape. There were stretches of beautiful beaches in between and waves that rolled in three or four at a time. 
It was quiet and peaceful and we found a picnic area on one of the bluffs where we sat and did watercolor paintings. It was a perfect spot: sunny but cool, beautiful views, and we had it all to ourselves.
After exploring the coastal area, we headed into the forest. The trees are so large, we couldn't see the tops from the car. We eventually parked by the "Big Tree" area and took a few paths through the woods. The quiet stillness was fabulous and we were by ourselves again for most of the time. It was so much fun to photograph the woods, which reminded us of Jurassic Park! 
We also did the tacky tourist activity of driving through the redwood tree, and headed south to stop at the other visitor centers (there are 4). We spent the rest of the day winding through the woods. Through hair pin turns and endless switchbacks, we drove 4 more hours to Fort Bragg, CA for our next day's adventure.
