We left Reno today and headed down to Interstate 80 to State Highway 101 just north of San Francisco. Driving up and over Donner Pass is a two hands on the steering wheel experience. Even after we get on 101 the traffic is very heavy the entire day. The next stop is an RV park along 101 that is the final resting place the famous race horse, Seabiscuit.. This location usually gets a lot of wildlife but all we ran into were some wild turkeys.
The next day we drove to our next RV park just outside of Redwood National and State Parks. The RV park is known for the herd of Roosevelt Elk that hang out in their open meadows.
Our next adventure, we took the Newton Drury Scenic Parkway through Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. This is an original old-growth redwood forest that our pictures below can’t do any justice. We did a couple short hikes to see the beautiful forest. Just being in the presence of these trees left us in awe - Wow.
We then drove down to Gold Bluffs Beach and Fern Canyon. Fern Canyon was used for some scenes in the Jurassic Park franchise and it truly a unique place. There are five different types of fern plants on the walls and you can forgot about not getting your feet wet.
Then on to Lady Bird Johnson Grove. The grove has these giant old growth redwoods that really have to be seen to experience their grandeur. We even managed to see a bear on the drive out.
Next stop, on to Sunset Bay State Park on the Oregon coastline.
