Unique Trees of Avenue of Giants #StateChallenge

Avenue of Giants is located around 225 Miles North of San Francisco, CA. This is the trip I took around 9 years back. Please pardon the quality of pictures.

Avenue Giants is around 30 Miles long, where there are several point of interests, all focused around Giant red wood trees. I have compiled several point of interests in these pictures.

Hello @jayasimha78 ,

Thank you sharing this amazing location and beautiful photos with us. I’ve never seen anything like this before!

The size of the trees is fascinating! Is there a gate and an entrance fee in order to access this area, or it is open for everyone?

Are there some places around like restaurants, where one can have a coffee or a nice meal?

@BorrisS Yes indeed, this is really amazing place to visit. I have visited several other redwood forest. This one definitely stands out. There are several cafes, grocery stores & restaurants near key vista points on the 30 mile stretch. There was no fee when I visited which is 9 years back. I checked their website there was no indication of any fee being introduced. So it is a free place to enjoy.

When I had the chance to visit this area, I felt like the trees were so ancient, had seen so much, that they had spirits of their own. I almost felt like I was intruding on their world at the wheel of my car. Did you have any reaction to the grandeur of these trees @jayasimha78 ?

@Kwiksatik I agree with you. When I visited here for the first time I never imagined trees can be so huge and old. It was just mind blowing experience.
