I am planning a family vacation. I have a 2 and 5 year old. I remember the pictures of people driving through the forest looking at the trees. I am not sure how much hiking and walking will be required.

I would like an outdoor trip for the family. We’ve never been out camping and it is a shame.

If you have any other suggestions it would be appreciated. Keep in mind that the only seasoned camper in our group is my husband. I am not ready to carry 2 kids up a mountain.

The whole thing has always been white (even the floor) and it’s so touch to keep it clean because we have a lot of trees, thus pollen and mildew always collect on the floor. So this year for my annual re-stain I’m tempted to keep the rails white but stain the floor a darker color, perhaps a redwood color, to eliminate the vulnerable floor. Would this look weird? Any tips, ideas, etc.

i can’t believe it. Who let that happen. Those trees are the oldest living thing on earth.They didn’t even use the land they just clear cut it all down for the wood.

Like the Angeles National Forest. It’s not a forest. It’s filled with shrub, rocks, dried sand. It’s ugly. Trees in southern california are ugly. you have to go to northern california to see those beautiful redwoods.

What is the difference? I have always wanted to see the biggest trees on earth. I have seen beautiful pictures of them in misty forests. I am not sure where to go to see them. Are they redwoods or sequoias?
Also, my husband is handicapped and has limited mobility, so hiking is out of the question. Any advice? Where to see them? Where to stay? How to get around?

I’m about to google this, seriously, that would be awesome. I’ve been there and those trees are gargantuan.

The pinecones hit the ground and it sounds like a shotgun went off.

My family and I are planning a visit to California this summer. I am a forester, so I want to see the giant redwoods in addition to the giant sequoias. My family would rather visit tourist destinations in San Fransisco, while I would rather see the trees. They refuse to travel to Redwood National Park due to the distance from San Fran. In your opinion, what is the best redwood forest or park that is within a couple hours of San Fran?

My family owns 8 secluded acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, but really… once I go up there, there’s no much to do. We usually bring beers and pellet guns.. but what else is there? Is there something fairly easy to make out of fallen down trees (redwoods, madrones, furs)? I need ideas!
