This hike you have to get one of fifty daily permits to take - we scored one of them on the only day we could have.
Its considered a rigorous hike of four miles, round-trip but mostly because it drops 600 feet to the river bank. We thought walking down-trail was hard until we had to climb out.
Underneath a canopy of the tallest trees in the world you feel pretty insignificant.
These trees grow so well because they are constantly watered - if not by rain, by the ever-present fogs.

  1. These trees are AMAZING!!! Another really cool fact is that these trees create the fog through respiration and then in turn it keeps them watered! Their own weather system! I know science nerd alert but I couldn't help it! love y'all!
