Eric and I explored Rockefeller Forest yesterday and did an amazing hike that we found on one of our favorite websites: http://redwoodhikes.com/  We took the Addie Johnson Trail and followed it to Homestead trail (full of history when in the 1870s people homesteaded this area), and we eventually ended up at Big Trees Trail. We saw the famed Giant which is a coast redwood 53 feet in circumference and 363 feet high. It was a phenomenal hike with mild elevation change that ended up paralleling Eel river. Even though we spent all day exploring and had been there once before, we still haven't seen all the trails that this forest offers but we were so impressed that we promised ourselves we'd return soon.
