Redwood Forest

I've been meaning to walk in a redwood forest ever since I moved up to the SF Bay Area and today I decided on impulse would be the day I went. So I typed in Google "Redwood forest", picked the closest one, and went.

The closest redwood forest to go to was Huddart Park. To be honest, it was kind of dull and uneventful.



While the trees were pretty, I felt kind of bored walking on the trails. Nothing really led anywhere and all the paths just sort of wound around the area. I would have enjoyed the scenery more if I wasn't always looking on the ground for horse manure and getting nervous about the bugs or my footing on the dirt and rocks. I kind of wished there was some sort of destination to reach, like a temple or a vantage point. But this is America and I don't think we have temples atop mountains, although I did see this giant white cross in the distance when I drove to the park. Also, I think this park's trails were more for horseback riding than foot travel, despite what the brochure said. Perhaps I picked the wrong park. I mean, whoever heard of having to PAY to go to the park? There was a $5 per car fee to enter the park.
