Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park

Today we visited Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park (wikipedia) with Zachary. What a beautiful park. We started from the visitor center and strolled through the old growth redwood grove. They have a beautiful stand of old growth redwoods and the trail through the grove is very well maintained. We then followed Overlook Road up to the observation bench which provides a sweeping view of a canyon that leads to the sea. I was carrying Zach in the child carrier - he fell asleep about halfway to the bench. Nothing like your baby snoring in the redwoods.

And of course I took some pictures…here are a few.


Some redwoods in the old growth grove.


Wow, they sure are tall.


There’s more than just redwoods - you also have pine, bay, and madrone.


ZZZzzzzZZZZ!
