Our final stop of the trip was to see the redwood forests in California. We actually were driving through them, or at least forests that had huge redwood trees, for a good chunk of the drive up from San Fran to Oregon. This also included the amazing 37- mile long Avenue of the Giants. Now what do you do when you're surrounded by hundreds of years old trees? Climb them of course! 
A lot of our time was spent climbing trees and once we got to the actual Redwood National Park, we ditched both the RV and the motorcycle and chose really the only way one should see centuries old forests: on foot. The forest was amazing and we were hiking through it as the sun was setting, so we had some pretty surreal lighting coming in through the trees. 
We also found a rundown trail that said it led to an elk prairie, which we never found. And ended up in the middle of the woods with no trail. We did find this huge clump of trees that had grown together though and just looked like the most massive tree ever!
After that we drove up the beautiful coasts of California and Oregon, through a lot more woods, and to my grandma's house... Literally... We spent one final day with my grandparents, doing my favorite things to do with my grandma: sewing and cooking! And then we finally headed home.
