One more intense redwoods experience before we ventured back info civilization included exploring the Avenue of the Giants between Eureka and Garberville in the Humboldt Redwoods State park. This 30 mile road accesses all kinds of hikes, short and long, as well as plenty of roadside attractions that make it even more fun.
We found several picturesque short hikes where the trees and lighting were stunning.
Being in charge of hikes, we did have a long one that meandered near a river through old growth trees. The Turk was nervous when we saw no humans for several hours. He almost hugged the poor guy we saw toward the end of the hike!

For some reason, Big Foot is quite popular here and appears everywhere. Also many references to Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. Several drive through trees, rooms inside of hollowed out trees, quirky signs and sculptures.
