Redwoods and Beyond

The days were beautiful and it was time to move on so we loaded up and exited the park via Hwy 140. This took us up and over a pass and dropped us on down to Corning California, the Olive capital of California. It was a needed overnight stop and each of us got a good shower.

The next day we drove up to Redding CA and pointed towards the coast to our next stop at the Redwoods National Park. We had made reservations at Prairie Creek Campground and when we arrived we were greeted by the Rosevelt Elk and a wonderfully warm afternoon.

We spent the late afternoon lounging around and then after a good nights sleep we explored the Redwood groves. 




We moved on from the Redwoods to Crescent City and did a little tourist stuff. Mostly we just looked around and ate lunch. It was a fun afternoon and very relaxing.



Our next exploration stop was to the Oregon Caves National Preserve. This cave system was very interesting with over a mile of cave walking included in the tour. We recommend this stop if you are ever in the area.
