We Almost Skipped the Redwoods. That Would’ve Been a Big Mistake

Nothing prepares you for Redwood National Park. Everyone tells you the trees are massive… but standing beneath them feels unreal. On this leg of our California Coast road trip, we drove our vintage RV straight into the heart of the Redwoods and through the Avenue of Giants in Northern California. #redwoodnationalpark #AvenueOfTheGiants #rvtravel We weren’t here to chase the “top 10 sights.” We wanted to feel what it’s like to walk among giants, to hear the forest breathe, and to experience one of the oldest ecosystems in the world, the way real travelers do: slowly, with wide eyes and dirty shoes. If you’re planning a Redwood National Park trip, an RV road trip on Highway 101, or you’ve always wondered what it’s really like inside these ancient groves, this video gives you our experience.
