California Ho! Day Two - Big Basin State Park


So, after a night in San Francisco, we drove down the peninsular to California's oldest state park. Originally called Redwoods State Park, it's been renamed to Big Basin State Park (because lots of places have, well...redwoods).


The coastal redwoods aren't quite as big as the true giant sequoia, but they're still quite something...and large enough to kind of throw off your tree perspective. Normal trees start looking, well, spindly. After some pleasant hiking, we wound up in Los Gatos, near San Jose.

Why yes, Silicon Valley. Dinner: Somewhat pricy, but excellent, Italian.
