Avenue of the Giants - A Destination Vacation: This world-famous scenic drive is a 31-mile portion of old Highway 101, which parallels Freeway 101 with its 51,222 acres of redwood groves. It is by far the most outstanding display of these giant trees in the entire 500 mile redwood belt and is accessible to all with convenient services provided along the way. The Avenue of the Giants is surrounded by Humboldt Redwoods State Park which has the largest remaining stand of virgin redwoods in the world.
Whenever we drive through Humboldt Country we also take a detour and drive the ave of the Giants. It is truly a "magical place".
We didn't take this video but it shows the place we love to drive.
We pressed on and stopped in Willits for gas and dinner. Then we drove across to Lake County and spent the night at the Robinson's Rancheria area. Tomorrow we head back for our daughter and son-in-laws home in Sacramento.
