In the beginning of the vacation, I had trouble getting over how twisty the roads were. "She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain" kept playing on loop in my head. We were staying in a home at 6000 feet above sea level. The roads pretty much hug the mountains edge in some areas, so you ended up looking a LONG way down. By the end of the trip, we were quite a bit more relaxed but the beginning definitely had us on the edges of our seats.

Having never been to a woodsy area of California before, I had never seen the Sequoia (or Redwood) trees before. They were extremely impressive! We did a little bit of hiking amongst them to find the one we were able to walk through. I just find it so impressive that a tree can survive with such a giant hole in it. I also like that you can tell relatively easily when you are looking at a redwood tree, as they are, well, red. I am extremely happy I got to experience them on our vacation and would recommend them to any nature lover!
