Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve

So another spot that we decided to revisit post-pandemic is Armstrong Redwoods SNR in Guerneville, in the county of Sonoma. I wasn't very sure when was the last time we visited it and found that eleven years passed before this second visit. However, this time around we intentionally made a trip out here. This was on Memorial Day weekend.

The park comprised of 805 acres, and about 68% of the park has been scorched during the August 2020 Walbridge Fire. It reopened in October 2021. To be honest, I didn't realize this park was burned, my head was somewhere else in 2020. There was covid, the quarantine, and all the wildfires here in California.

I invite you all to take an armchair walk with me under the redwoods.

    Wow, what a great collection of photos. Such big tall trees. I've read about their shallow root system but didn't realize that they went down to just 12 feet.
    I had a boss one time that told us underlings we needed to be like the redwoods and support each other. I liked that.

    Absolutely gorgeous. Sadly more of the trees in California are being burned by wildfires this year.

    Wow, impressive! Your varying perspectives are interesting. It is sad about the fires.

    I've seen many photos of redwoods but I suspect they're impossible to appreciate without actually seeing them and walking among them.
    Thank you for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2022/07/milkweed-visitors.html

    Great captures of the redwoods. If you like these kinds of trees, Yosimite Nat. Park is a must to visit! They have a specific area for the redwoods 9 veer to right after entrance), but there is so much more. When after the entrance you veer to the left. There are views of mountain ranges, there a 3 beautiful big waterfalls (Bridal Veil Falls, Yosemite Falls, and Vernal Falls on the way to the mountain everyone climbs, Half Dome. You need at least a weekend to see it all - but so worth it, if you like nature!

    Forgot to tell you - Yosemite is in mid California on the East side. You can get from one point to another inside the park with a (free) bus. We always went by car to get to Yosemite. You can camp there in a tent (sign up a few months earlier, but I heard, if you like some sleep, it's better to look for a place to sleep outside the park)
