🌲 Avenue of the Giants – A Drive Through California’s Redwood Wonderland

Simba 🐾 and I took a scenic drive through the Avenue of the Giants — one of the most breathtaking routes in Northern California! 🌲

This iconic 31-mile stretch runs parallel to Highway 101 through Humboldt Redwoods State Park, home to some of the tallest and oldest trees on Earth. Every twist and turn brings you face-to-face with towering redwoods, lush ferns, and sunlight filtering through canopies that seem to touch the sky.

Driving through the Avenue feels like traveling back in time — where the only sounds are the whisper of the wind through the branches and the soft crunch of forest floor beneath your feet.

🚗 A Drive Through Living History

The Avenue of the Giants isn’t just a scenic route — it’s a living museum of natural history. Many of the redwoods here are over 1,500 years old, surviving fires, floods, and storms to stand as silent witnesses to time.

Simba loved every minute of this drive — sniffing the forest air at every stop, while I soaked in the quiet beauty that only the redwoods can offer. It’s one of those rare places that reminds you just how small you are — and how incredible nature can be.
