Trip to Big Basin Redwood State Park - Thursday Green - Color challenge
Last week my family and I backpacked to the Big Basin Redwood State park in California - we were aiming for a beginner trail since this was our first hike and decided on the 3.2 mile Sempervirens trail which had a small surprise waiting for us at the end.
After parking our car, we started walking to the trail..
The general landscape looked like this..
Since it is so shaded, you never get tired..
It was a bright afternoon with the sun occasionally peeping through the thick canopy of some of the tallest trees I have ever seen.
I still couldn't capture the full height of the trees on camera.

Some trees were even 2000 years old..

Another trail we encountered on the way..
The little surprise that awaited at the end of the trail - a cute little waterfall - the Sempervirens falls
If you are a lover of giant old trees towering over you, well this place has it all...
Thank you for reading!
Amazing pictures. Love the last one.
Thank you!! :)
Keep steeming!
Congratulations ! Your post has been highlighted in the Daily Travel Reports
Thank you so much @traveltrail.
I really appreciate this !!! :)
HI varna amazing pics especially the one with you in it showing the size of that tree. Upvoted.
Aww thankyou @readallaboutit.. You are always so supportive.
It means a lot. :)
Only because you are so sweet. 😊 By the way I have decided to unfollow everyone - however I have bookmarked your blog and will check it manually. 👍
Now I'm really flattered!
Why unfollow everyone, if you don't mind me asking?
Varna out of the 275 followers only about 15 make an effort to support me and comment the rest are following for the sake of following. I might change things later. In a way it is an experiment. As you can see by my low rewards that I only have a few genuine supporters.
Hmmm.. yea makes sense..
Would like to know the result of the experiment...
Will wait and see..
Wow this is really great post ! I love this big tree :)
Thankyou so much..
I am glad you liked it..

It was! There are so many other trails too.. Next we might go to Berry Creek falls trail.. Heard that one's really good..
For sure, I'll look for out for the post :P
That's encouraging.. thankyou :)
Such wonderful gigantic old trees. Beautifully photographed Varna.
I visited the Redwood forests, on a too short a holiday to CA several years ago. These trees truly are magnificent. Makes you wonder about all they have seen in their lifetime. 🙏🌿🙏
I know, right?
Some are ancient! And there was also a cross-section of a tree that was displayed near the parking lot.. You know, its diameter was over 5feet.. Imagine a tree so wide, that its width equals your height!
I wish I could have captured its beauty better on camera.. I am glad you appreciate this. Thanks @allyinspirit.. :)
