We started off our day driving an hour to see the giant redwood trees. My first thought when I walked into the forest was that it was like a magical fairy garden. The redwoods were beautiful, the biggest one we saw was probably twenty feet wide and who knows how tall. Many of them were hollowed out and you wondered how they stood their ground. Moss grew over everything like a blanket of green. Sunlight was sparse, which made the forest seem even more enchanted. The roots from the trees that had fallen over shot up out of the dirt and reminded me of a crown. The dead trees had green life growing from them; trees growing from trees. Like I said, it was an enchanted forest.
After we had eaten a picnic lunch in the forest we went to find a new beach to explore. We came to a place that said there was a beach within hiking distance. We ended up at a cliff overlooking the beach. Not knowing if there was an easier or more direct way down we slid to the sand below us. We were the only ones down there; it was so secluded and we were surrounded by a wall of rock. We stayed there for about an hour or so before returning to our little house.
