Camping at Crescent Beach in Redwood State and National Park. |
There's nothing quite like falling asleep with the sound of waves crashing on the beach. |
The one drawback to camping here is the lack of shade. |
A creek finds its way to the ocean. |
The cliffs around Crescent Beach are very unstable. It's not uncommon for large chunks to slide down and block road access. |
Not every sunset is spectacular but they're all worth watching. |
There isn't much light pollution on the Northern California coast. |
The entrance to Fern Canyon. |

Elk are very common around Redwoods State and National Park. |

A small herd of bulls were hanging out near the beach. |
Redwood Creek far below me. You can't tell from here but all those trees are giants. |
Nothing like sitting in a grove of 250 foot trees to make you feel small. |
That's some nice wood, right there. |
The trees reach dizzying heights here in NorCal. |
You can't appreciate how big these things are without something for scale. |
A carpet of clover. |
The Tall Trees Grove trail is a 3.5 mile loop with about 900 feet of elevation gain. |
Even though the day was overcast I got a severe burn on my freshly shaved head. It was so bad that I cut my 4 day trip short and went home after two days. |
Playing in the dunes. |

As the sun slowly sets in the west, I bid you all a goodnight. |
