This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comFor our next series we are going to be exploring various locations in Redwoods National & State Parks. First up, Grove of the Titans!The interesting thing about this grove is that it's not on the official Redwood National Park map. That's because it became too popular in the Instagram and Google maps era. Visitation grew exponentially in the late 2000's and 2010's. The bases and roots of the trees were getting trampled. In response, the park service installed 1,500 feet of metal boardwalk in 2019—contributing a signature sound mark to this particular soundwalk. The other factor the park service considered in its decision to reduce official visibility of this grove is limited access to the trailhead itself, via Howland Hill Road, an old stagecoach route. On this dusty, winding, single-lane gravel road you can practically reach out the window and touch massive old-growth trees—and cars passing the other direction! The truth is, the grove isn't markedly more spectacular than others in the park, which are easier to visit.But there are some unique features. One centerpiece may be Screaming Titans, a fused tree with a diameter of 30 feet, seen from the central platform.Another is Chesty Puller, where the boardwalk winds around another fused giant on a slope. None of these pictures convey the sense of awe that one feels being here in person.What is most distinctive about the soundscape, though, is the absence of sound. We made our visit in the evening, which I'd recommend for the mellow light and the thinned-down crowds on a summer day. Except for the ravens, who add their calls in the final minutes, you'd be hard pressed to pick out other birds, who are sparsely seen but go largely unheard. This surprised me, even in July. My guess is it's a different story in the early morning.But, there is something quieting about the trees themselves, too. The extensive surface area of deeply pitted bark really does dampen sound energy. It's distinctive for the absence of reverberation that one expects in a grove of trees. "The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time." - John SteinbeckThe backbone of my score instrumentation is the Hohner Pianet electric piano. Playing off that is a Korg Prototype 8 patch that is sure to cause some lean-back listeners to lean in, on first hearing it. (You'll have to listen via streaming or consider become a supporting subscriber to get my drift here, as it enters the mix in track 4, about five and a half minutes in.) Lastly, there's a little upright piano, celeste and dulcimer. In all, quite minimal. That seems to be my trajectory. Less is more, even when there's no birdsong. I hope you enjoy this very quiet soundwalk through Grove of the Titans. It is most certainly not the default vibe here. If you can make the trip, especially in summer, expect plenty of company. This, and other coast redwood groves here are truly wonders of our planet!Thanks for listening and reading. I'm thankful for your interest. Grove of the Titans Soundwalk is available on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Amazon, YouTube…) on Friday, March 7th.

National parks are home to many iconic trees. Bristlecones pines, Whitebark pines, Sequoias, even mangroves. And, of course, redwoods. These trees hold many stories. The size alone of redwoods and sequoias are enough to hold your attention. But there are backstories, as well. In the case of redwoods along the Northern California coast, the backstory can be heart breaking. There are chapters of logging fever, of course, as well as of political machinations, and stories of loss. Greg King presents the stories swirling around Redwoods in his book, The Ghost Forest: Racists, Radicals, and Real Estate in the California Redwoods. One particularly interesting chapter for national park lovers is that Newton B. Drury, the 4th director of the National Park Service, actually worked against the creation of Redwood National Park.

Jimmy Carter: Peanut farmer. Humanitarian. President. Environmentalist? On this week's EcoNews Report, we catalogue the environmental legacy of President Carter with Rich McIntyre, friend and fishing partner of the President. Locally, President Carter signed into law the expansion of Redwood National Park (against the protest of loggers). President Carter was also responsible for doubling the amount of acreage protected by the National Parks Service and conserving over 100 million acres of land in Alaska through the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. An energy crisis drove President Carter to promote renewable energy, even putting solar panels on the White House (which were later removed by President Reagan.) Support the show

In today's episode, Dr. Addison Killeen reflects on the establishment of Redwood National Park in 1968 and draws inspiration from the trees' unique root systems. Just as redwoods grow laterally to support each other against storms, dental professionals need strong, supportive teams to thrive. Dr. Killeen highlights the importance of community, like the Dental Success Network, where dentists can connect, gain knowledge, and find support from peers to grow their practices and achieve higher revenues.

Discover why scientists are chopping down redwood trees… to save them. Redwood National and State Parks are home to some of the tallest trees on Earth, coast redwoods. These ancient California forests support hundreds of different species, and store more carbon than any other forest on the planet. But in the last century, 95% of them were cut down by loggers.  Now, scientists are trying to find ways to bring old growth redwoods back and they've discovered a surprising strategy... cutting them down actually helps them grow. Chris heads to Redwood National and State Parks to learn about this new restoration effort and why saving the coast redwood trees will help countless other species in and around this national park. Plus Chris gets to climb a redwood, and learns about the relationship the Yurok have with this towering species.  This season of THE WILD is about the incredible biodiversity in our national parks: from the tallest trees on the planet to the driest deserts and everything in between. And it's about the people working in and around our national parks to protect the natural world, while we still can.  This show would not be possible without listener support.

Last week, the Yurok Tribe signed a historic agreement with the National Park Service, California State Parks and Save the Redwoods League to transfer a 125-acre property back to tribal ownership. The site, known as ‘O Rew, is roughly in the center of Yurok ancestral territory and sits at the southern gateway to Redwood National Park. The agreement marks the first time that a national park will be co-managed by a Native tribe. Nika Bartoo-Smith recently wrote about the agreement for Underscore News and ICT. She joins us with more details.

Lee is a world-renowned leader who brought the  ancient Chinese practice of Qigong to the modern world. He has been featured on 8 successful PBS shows with another 13 episodes under “Your Fountain Of Youth With Lee Holden”.

I can feel the emotion. I can drop into the moment. And then what I do is do something called transforming negative emotions. Neutralizing them into being centered in the moment Thoughts On Breathing Breath is life. I mean, breath is chi. When you take a deep breath. You are bringing energy into your body and that was what sustains and keeps you alive. You breathe about 20, 000 times a day, but not all of those breaths are equal. So if you're breathing shallow, you're sending a message to your nervous system; I'm stressed out. If you breathe deep and full, you're sending a message to your nervous system; I'm relaxed. So slow, deep breathing and being attentive to your breath is going to bring you into the moment. It's going to clear stress out of your nervous system and you're going to be more grounded and balanced.   Bullying Story Raising four daughters, aged 3 to 15, exposes me to diverse forms of bullying. It goes beyond mere exclusion or name-calling; it involves clashes of opinions. When one of my older girls faced criticism over her political stance, I emphasized empathy and a broader outlook. We actively stepped into each other's perspectives, cultivating empathy and understanding. The result? They mediated between friends with differing views, diffusing tensions within days. Bullying's complexity led me to advocate mindful practices like Qigong, clarifying the line between genuine threats and hurtful situations. These practices empower us to seek support confidently. Strengthened internally, asking for help becomes more accessible, enabling us to choose healthier social circles. Grounded in ourselves, solutions emerge, countering the usual sense of powerlessness in such situations.

www.atravelpath.com Ryan and Katy's Social and Website: https://www.instagram.com/smilkos_lens/ https://smilkoslens.com/ In today's segment of Travel Tips, Ryan and Katy Smilko join us again to share one of their favorite destinations, Redwood National Park. Having been to 49.5 states (tune in to Part 1 for the explanation!), over 40 national parks, and have explored all over California, they know a thing or two about travel. This was a super informative guide for any first time or returning visitors to Redwood National and State Parks. A few quick clarifications from today's show: We (Tyler and Hope) saw our elk on Bald Hill Road near where it turns into dirt road. The sunset location we mentioned in the video was the Redwood Creek Overlook, not far from Bald Hill Road. This location is about an hour south of the Klamath River Overlook that Ryan and Katy mentioned. Dogs ARE allowed in Mt. Rainier National Park but must be leashed and only allowed in campgrounds, parking lots, and paved roads.

https://www.google.com/travel/flights https://www.travelzoo.com/   Transcript: All right Ryan and Katy so thank you for coming back to the show we had an awesome time chatting with you guys the other day so let's now talk about destinations so let me know where we're going to talk about and where have you guys spent a lot of time this was really tough um you know we've been to 49 and a half States and we've spent an enormous amount of time exploring California in particular but uh we decided to nail it down to one place in California which is Redwood National and state parks for those who don't know it's in the far Northwestern corner of California so it's kind of out in the middle of nowhere uh not really near any major cities or anything um and we've probably spent a week or two their total um combined because you're originally from California right I am I'm from California but I'm from the Bay Area and despite it being called Northern California uh I think it's about a seven hour drive still from the Bay Area to Redwoods so redwoods what would you say it's a great destination for someone who likes to do what soft Adventures it is definitely a soft Adventure Park soft Adventures for us is um hikes and things that are accessible to the majority of people and you know you don't have to be an expert hiker or Backcountry camper or rock climber or anything like that so typically hikes that are less than like three to four miles yeah scenic drives Scenic overlooks you know things that most people W could and would want to do so there's no like specialty or special skill sets required yeah and we're big on that is that a term you guys coin yourselves soft adventurers or is that I wish yeah we definitely cannot take credit for that honestly I don't know where I saw it became like a daily term like we were with people who were very hard adventurers and I was like this is not for me this is I'm very soft adventure and like we started using it so much in our daily life we're like oh like this is our like how we Define what we do because when you're traveling people like for some reason gravitate towards rock climbing or like the hardest hike or like the 14,000 foot you know Peak Pikes and I'm like you guys can just skip inviting me if you need a bear canister I probably don't want to go yeah it's a good gauge but um that is one thing we love about redwoods is um it actually so it's a national park and state park so there's I think three state parks uh California state parks that make up Redwood National Park and it's the only National Park in the US that is a joint partnership between state parks and National Park it's ideal for people who like to be surrounded and immersed in nature and trees in particular so it's just um I mean it's just a magical place the trees are bigger than you could possibly imagine and it feels like there will be like a fairy that will pop out behind every corner and like it's just one of the most peaceful places and I think what most people don't maybe think of when they think of like a Redwood National Park is that it butts up to the ocean so it's really where like the forest meets the California coast and it's just like a really special place that I feel like you have to see in person to understand like the magic of it all I always call it Fern Gully because it if you remember that movie from way back when but it you just really made yourself old I know I did I mean if people could see the video the white in my beard would give it away first but um the I mean these trees are so big that you can drive through them they are you can walk through them can walk through some I mean they're almost 2,000 years old they are literally just towering sky scraper trees but it's also super-duper Lush there's Fern and yeah it's just incredibly beautiful and magical and it's one of the easier parks to visit to hi hike to experience um and so it's we also love a good drivable park where you get a lot of the views from the road um or if it's just beautiful from the road just you feel like you're in it without having to hike seven miles to get to that one Lake that everyone takes a picture of um so we love that about redwoods yeah oh that's awesome so how do you what would you say you need to spend in Redwoods to really enjoy that full like Redwood experience see all the big spot you know do that drive how many days are we talking because of its remoteness um drive time and travel time definitely needs to be factored in um for anyone who's flying in to visit at the park they're likely either going to fly into the San Francisco Bay area or maybe Eugene Oregon um further north and both of those are going to be basically a six to seven hour drive and so day one and then the last day of the trip are basically just travel days yeah so excluding those I would say two to three days is absolutely perfect it would allow someone to really kind of hit all the top spots best hike the best views scenic drives family fun adventures and experiences and really get to go home feeling like they saw it all oh awesome now and as far as time frame during the year what would you recommend as the best time to go that's really tough I think the blanket answer would be any time of year um California especially along the coasts the temperatures are pretty temperate and don't change drastically with the seasons so at worst in the winters I think the average high is about 40 um which is chilly it's not super fun for being out but you don't have to worry about six feet of snow or ice or you know freezing cold temp like the low even at that high the low would probably be like 35 like it would be such a small window and then in the summer at its warmest the high is maybe like 75 really I would guess that wow yeah it's pretty temperate most of the time um and because it's so remote it's also not a heavily trafficked Park so it's not like you're going to a Yos or a Grand Canyon or Yellowstone where you're going to have millions of visitors there every single day um so you don't really have to worry a ton about massive crowds but I think our preference if you could pick it would be spring or fall and I think one interesting thing to think about um when visiting this park is it doesn't have like you don't go for fall full foliage the trees don't turn for someone who doesn't like pay attention to that it would be like a maybe a letdown if they went for fall thinking I'm going to drive by trees it'll be pretty um so that's something to consider if you're looking for a fall destination yeah that's a really good point because the there's not those like drastic seasonality changes to it that does mean that people wanting to visit have a lot of flexibility because if they decide you know if they go I can only go in June or the only time I can get time off is in October it's not like they're going to go and have a completely different experience at the park than if they went at a different time of year so from a flexibility standpoint I think it's a great destination all right so I know you guys have Junior so obviously you're always on the hunt for those dog friendly um places and trails and just places and things you can do um but do you notice is there a lot of dogs when you go are there a lot of kids I mean there's not a lot of anyone but um it's not a very dog friendly Park unfortunately um but luckily if you're van traveling because it's always temperate you don't have to worry about the dog when you're hiking I mean not dog friendly like hotels or not dog friendly Airbnb's are not dog friendly um there are definitely accommodations that are dog friendly but they're pretty spread out and in some cases you might be paying quite a bit more or might not be convenient based on location you found campgrounds the three each of the state parks that makes up the National Park have campgrounds and all of the campgrounds are dog friendly so whether they're tent camping or RV camping or otherwise um those places are dog friendly I would say it's very kid-friendly though it is very kid and as someone who doesn't have kids from a dog friendliness perspective I would say um and this is sort of getting to one of the upcoming questions but it would be our only complaint I think of the park sure I find that a lot of national parks too like they're not allowed in the park but there's just a lot of trails where they're not allowed to be on the trails and I think I think one of the parks Mount Rainier actually there were no dogs allowed anywhere I think you remember that yeah so that's definitely something if you're going to National Park just keep an eye out when you're going to plan that we were actually just going over there's I think 17 dog friendly national parks Junior's been to 16 of them oh no kidding which one is he missing Alaska oh that's very interesting about Rainer I really want to look that up because for the most part dogs can enter but they have to stay in parking lots and paved that's good yeah definitely fact check us on Mount Rainier let know you find we'll put we'll put the uh I think you are right I think it is they can go in they just can't like you said they have to stick to the pave Trail but we'll put the answer in the description here down below so cool thanks I'll look for it yeah um so as far as like nighttime what is there to do or what have you guys done or like to do when you know the sun goes down because you're kind of in that that you know secluded area uh we're definitely not your nighttime crowd yeah uh we are early sleepers um and Ryan mentioned the remoteness so there's not like a city life or night life if you so our our ideal night life is like campfire um hanging out and just like enjoying definitely like a Sunset and yeah if there's campfire involved we're there I would also say because of its remoteness and the fact that there isn't any kind of major city nearby means that there's not a ton of light pollution and so from a night sky perspective it is definitely a beautiful place to sit outside and stargaze or look for way so that would be those would be kind of our those would be our nighttime activities yeah that's perfect that's what it's all about right up our alley yeah how about um speaking of nighttime what about sleeping Arrangements like where do you guys find that you can sleep when you're visiting um redwoods I would say that you know a lot of our travels we look for places that are free and legally allowed to park and um gosh why am I drawing a blank on the word Boondock boondocking I had no idea what he was saying thank you I was like you know you think after living in a van for two years that would beat you in these years but yeah there's not a lot available up there in terms of that California doesn't really have a lot of um like BLM land or free land that you can just go drive out and park on and so for the most part if you're in a van or an RV of some sort um it's going to be one of the state park campgrounds there are some RV parks scattered about the area as well that's typically what we do we did stay at an Airbnb once um during one of our visits which we loved it was there's a river up there and it was right on the river so you know whether it be for Sunrise or Sunset it was very beautiful and closely located to the parks I would say camping and campgrounds are going to be the best way to stay and EXP experience the parks but there are Airbnb's and hotels very nearby for those who aren't looking to Camp or families or you know or if it's in those colder temperatures it's just not fun yeah you're not GNA find me in a tent in a cold temperature yeah us NE it's not a soft Adventure no our we're glamping here with our with our same that's a borderline medium Adventure yeah yeah yes temperature does play into how soft our adventures are definitely it's good point what have you experienced with wildlife in the in Redwoods uh deer and Elk yeah I think are the only two that we've come across the elk are everywhere outside of the park um there's actually a place called Elk Meadow every day the elk migrate from one area to another and there's like a road crossing and it happens daily and so it's like if you are at that spot at the wrong time of day or the right time or the right time you're basically stuck there for like 30 minutes as this massive herd of elk just migrate from one area to another and then there's actually an Airbnb that the elk might like go into the front yard and I'm talking like 50 50 elk go into the front yard of this like Farmhouse Airbnb every single morning and just lay there and graze and it's absolutely incredible we've never stayed there but we've gone past it multiple times and seen people where they're just out there on the patio sipping their coffee and there's 50 elk just in the front yard hanging out can't be that is that that's actually inside the park I take it you know I'd have to double check and look it's weird because there's the park is made up of three state parks and they don't all they don't all up against it to one another and so there's kind of like gaps in between each section of the of the Park yeah elk and deer we've seen deer on the trails yeah they come really close too yeah they're like not really scared of people anymore yeah but it definitely adds to the beauty of the park and just sort of the majestic Ness of it you know being out there to see these beautiful animals just you know yeah it's incredible I know when we went to Redwoods we saw plenty we were up I think on the more southern part of the national park it was on our way out and we went to we went to the Elk Lodge or the elk crossing where you're supposed to be able to see him and we didn't see him over there but we drove up this hill um to eventually completely cleared out and it didn't look like Redwood National Park at all and then we just saw a bunch of them grazing never find yeah it's so fun just sitting there you know recording watching them you pull over for you know 10 20 minutes just watching them hang out we definitely did that every time we saw them it's like every time it's different right doesn't matter how many times you see them or how many different Parks you just have to sit there and watch you can never take too many videos and photos that's so true problem it's a good problem to have do you have a special sunrise or Sunset spot at redwoods or something where you've enjoyed in the past um Sunset would be the gold gold Bluffs Beach yeah um is really beautiful um that's actually where one of the campgrounds is also um so it's a great place to stay and experience sunrise and sunset nice obviously Sunrise would be on the opposite side of the sky so you're not getting it over the water but um still get the beautiful colors you still and to have the ocean right there is really really ma amazing I'm wondering if the Overlook that we went to for Sunset is the same one you guys went to because it sounds very similar but there's the I think the river that runs through is called the clamo river the place we went to is called clamo River Overlook and you drive up like up a a road and you get up there and there's just like a small parking lot and it overlooks the ocean and the river yeah that does sound like where we were I'm pretty sure the just said vist to overlook maybe there was another sign but that does sound because I remember something on the Internet different than like the actual signage yeah so I remember like we saw looked at the ocean we couldn't it was like kind of the neatest thing because we were looking at the ocean but there was a layer of fog where we couldn't see the ocean but we could see on top of the fog and it was something you know coming from the East we had never seen anything like that before and then there were clouds on top of that with the sun set and yeah that was it was like magical that was really cool how many videos do you think you have of that too many we had two phones and a camera so we had all three of them going I can tell you oh my goodness that would be us also y it's just like you can't you you can't stop yeah because we did have to drive a little bit for it so I think we that's one of the things why we enjoyed it so much and why we stayed there so long is cuz it was one other couple they watched sunrise or Sunset and then they left but like Tyler said we like when you wait a little bit afterwards and that whole Sky just lights up and like everyone's left cuz I think oh the sun went down so that's what we always wait for I do remember the bugs came out so I don't know same with you guys but we were fortunate we had bug spray and like there were mosquitoes that came out of nowhere once it that sun kind of set and it got dark so I don't know if that's uh well I guess September SE last year when we've been it's been cooler I don't think yeah I know we went in November once yeah it might have been it might have been cool enough that the bugs were yeah that sounds terrible though they came out of the Woodworks for us yeah so I guess just bring it in case you need it hopefully don't but we definitely did that night and we're glad we had it wonderful all right awesome so we're going to move to this next segment it's called the final four countdown we have four more questions and the first question is going to start with actually Four answers so um in Redwoods National Park or outside nearby um what are some of your favorite breakfast lunch dinner and dessert spots got to be careful at redwoods not a not a ton of uh hip happen in spots you know many of the places are kind of like small roadside gas station type places um um so I don't I don't have any specific dining spots whether it be for breakfast lunch or dinner the two nearest cities that kind of bookend the parks there's Crescent City which is at the North and then there's Eureka at the South um that's where you're going to find the largest cities and the most options in terms of dining and restaurants outside of that if you're kind of in the three state parks or the you know the overarching national park at all you're really going to be on your own for food want to pack it in you're going to want to pack it in and pack it out um which is typically what we do anyways I'm glad I asked someone might not know that and they don't show up with any food so that's good to know yeah I think that's a a very good you uh eat out of the van when you were there or probably we yeah we did most most of it was eating little Weber que we'd open up and you know PB and JS for lunch you know yes ham sandwiches and whatever we found usually you know Farmers Market stuff we'd Chef up for dinner nice yeah that's yeah stay at a campground bring all the grilling fixin and Grill some food at the campground that's that's the way to go what are three things to do in or around Redwood that somebody might not be aware of if they hadn't spent um a little bit of time there this is uh ideal for anyone who might be coming up from sort of the San Franc San Francisco Bay Area about an hour or so south of the park um there's a few really cool experiences there's a place called uh Avenue of Giants and it's basically a Scenic Drive that is I think like 10 15 miles long and it's just beautiful redwoods on both sides of the road and it's one of the one of the best places to kind of get a Scenic Drive type experience while surrounding yourself with the Redwoods there is a place called driveth through Tree Park and inside this park I think you pay $ five dollar to go in but there is a tree called the chandelier tree that the base is cut out and you can actually drive through the tree providing your vehicle is small enough I think the I think it's like six and a half feet by 6 and a half feet or something so Vans are not going to fit but if you've got you know a sedan or a smaller size SUV they will definitely fit but even if you don't drive through it it's a really neat place to park you can walk through it they've got a bunch of different things in the surrounding area um that are um you know we've got like gift shop and there's some little hiking spots that you can kind of walk around and peruse the area it's great for families kids adults Etc there's a place called Skywalk Redwood Skywalk it's some something Skywalk but essentially it's two things one they have a zoo it's called seoa Zoo cool and then the other one is they've got these uh like canopy Bridges where you can go up and actually walk walk among like up above amongst all the trees and so you got kind of get to experience the giant redwoods from above ground um I think it's like 50 feet in the air or something W you kind of get to learn about the trees they've got different um you know stations and displays and things to kind of help educate you of the surrounding areas and how the Redwoods came to be and how they Thrive and all that kind of fun stuff so those are three things that I would say aren't typically super common or well known when people are going into the Redwoods um they're all south of the park and kind of give you a different experience of not just going into the park and going on a hiking trail and sure yeah they're all they're all three things we did not do on our trip so yeah thanks for pointing that out there're some nice soft Adventures for us for next time I'm to go back they're great for families yeah they're very very accessible things to do so if somebody were to have two complaints not necessar NE complaints about the park but things that they might not be aware of or wish they had known prior what would they be we think the dog friendliness was kind of a bummer for us um and just that two two days basically our travel days so like the remoteness of the park um if you think people think they can go to California and like fly to San Francisco and then visit LA and visit like we have family come and they're like well we want to see the giant trees we're like well that's a whole another week trip so um those would be our two great and one last question what is the one thing you simply can't leave Redwood without doing that is really really difficult can we both answer one we can both answer yeah yeah I mean I think the scenic drives I can't pick one the scenic drives and uh okay so you go with the scenic drive that's perfect so similar to The Avenue of Giants that I mentioned earlier there is a en drive inside um the park called Newton bewery Scenic byway and similar to the other one it's like 10 or 15 miles long and it's in our opinion it's better than the Avenue of Giants it's the trees are bigger and wider and taller and the fact that it's inside the park um The Avenue of Giants is because it's outside of the park there are some kind of suburban areas that are kind of like intertwined with it and around it whereas be Drury it's just you and the trees and it's one of the most beautiful scenic drives that we've been on anywhere in the in the country I think the other one would be um there is a there's a couple Trails within the park where you can actually walk through a tree that has fallen over at some point and they basically carved out a section of the tree where you can walk through it um one of them is is not soft adventury so I'm not going to mention that one the other one is and it's sort of a combination of two Trails so depending on if you're looking on all Trails or if you're looking on the Redwood National Park website you might see different names for it but it's the Carl nap Trail and it's in addition to the tree that you can walk through it is also one of the just prettiest most MJ Majestic Trails that we've hiked in the park there's Fern everywhere it's one of the places we saw a bunch of deer um there's many many red giant redwood trees that you can just stand right up against and just you know have them towering over you and so I think those two really kind of give you some you know really cool and beautiful and unique experiences awesome yeah thank you for sharing that that was this has been such an informative video on Redwood National Park I think everything you mentioned pretty much we had not done before unless we did the same sunset at some point I'll have to find that out but you're totally right when you're driving through the that's it yeah but when you're driving through the Redwood National Park it's you're totally right when you're looking at these trees like I remember they're impressive when you're looking right out at them but it's not until like you start looking up and you can't see how high they are it's like oh my gosh these things are like massive that's when it kind of hits you like they're incredible yeah yeah it's when you start to do the pan and you're like this is a 25 second video and I haven't reached the top of the tree yet yes that's exactly it yeah good stuff all right guys hey thanks again for um spending the time chatting with us about Redwood National Park and previously your adventures and how you got started with Van life and everything else abolutely great talking with you guys and hope to do it again sometime we do have uh quick Shameless plug um on our

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson explores the ins and outs of Humboldt County's diverse offerings with three knowledgeable insiders.  First up, Johnson talks with Sebastian Elrite, who oversees a trio of oyster businesses in Humboldt County: Aqua-Rodeo Farms, Humboldt Bay Oyster Tours, and Humboldt Bay Provisions. Elrite discusses his bay-to-boat- to-oyster bar operation, sharing tips and stories from his educational boat tours. “We're able to go out to my oyster farm and do some fresh oyster harvesting,” he shares. “When we get those oysters landed, we'll go ahead and head back to the oyster bar at Humboldt Bay Provisions over in Old Town in Eureka and do a little tasting and have some local libations.” Going beyond bi-valves, Elrite also name-drops his favorite local restaurants and activities in the area.  Next, Johnson is joined by Kimberly Frick, co-owner of Redwood Creek Buckarettes, a horseback riding experience in Orick. A fifth-generation Humboldt native, Frick details the advantages of exploring Redwood National Park by horseback. “Most of our guests are very awe-inspired, they use the word ‘magical' or ‘majestic,'” she says. “And on our particular trail, you're surrounded by a lot of [redwoods]. There's not just one or two, it's a whole hillside full of them.” Frick shares other options forexploring nature in Humboldt County, from hiking Fern Canyon to gondola rides in Klamath.  Finally, Johnson talks with Melissa Sanderson, publisher of The Ferndale Enterprise and owner of Humboldt's Hometown Store. Sanderson discusses the joys of running a community newspaper, Ferndale's ornate Victorian homes, and what it's like to have Guy Fieri as a landlord. “The town itself is a historical landmark,” she notes. “We have more cows than people.” Sanderson also discusses shopping and unique dining experiences in the area.

Redwood National and State ParksCaliforniaAn amazing diversity of life exists at Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP). The ancient coast redwoodecosystem preserved in the parks contains some of the planet's most majestic forests. Here, banana slugs, gray whales, Douglas-fir, black bears, and sea anemones are equally at home with redwoods.Park staff work to maintain and restore the area's biological diversity through a wide range of resource management and educational activities.

Recorded at sunset in the intertidal zone at low tide during a new moon. It was a rare sunny afternoon on this rugged stretch of coastline, with strong wind blowing from the north and huge waves crashing far out which created a continuous low roar. Heavy haze hung in the air, kicked up by the wind and crashing surf. The rocky, boulder strewn shore was fully exposed by the low tide, with barnacles, mussels, sea anemones, and a myriad of other kinds of sea life awaiting the incoming tide. Small flocks of shorebirds called Black Turnstones foraged for food on the exposed rocks, quickly moving out of the way as waves crashed against the rocks. Recorded by Kelly Rafuse

This was recorded at low tide during the new moon on a rocky beach in Redwood National Park, Del Norte County, California. The tide was extremely low and the microphone was placed in the intertidal zone between boulders at the base of a massive, towering rock. The roar of strong wind, rough seas, and huge surf is heard in the background as the waves, which weaved their way through the many rocks and reefs farther out, crash and splash against the boulder strewn shore. I made this recording while on an unplanned and impromptu day trip to the coast with my daughter. I had originally planned to record the sound of wintering waterfowl at Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge and Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge, but at Lower Klamath NWR the only area with water and birds was right beside the highway, and Tule Lake was completely dry and devoid of any waterfowl. The years long drought we have been experiencing here in Northern California has been devastating, and despite a decent amount of snow and rain at the start of winter, the precipitation didn't keep up. And even if it did, it will take several very wet years to replenish these areas which are crucial to wintering and migratory waterfowl and the predatory birds and wildlife which depend on them. All that said, my daughter and I decided to make the long drive from there to the coast, and we were lucky to arrive during one of the lowest tides of the year. It was a rare sunny day and we took a little hike down the Coastal Trail from the Lagoon Creek to a rocky cove(where I made this recording) and watched the sunset. I could really use your support.

Many of you have visited the Redwood National Park in northern California. Shelley & I visited that area a few years ago. I remember walking through forests with lush ferns among these gentle giants in all their majesty. Imagine the Creator of those trees! -Redwoods can grow as tall as 400 feet -The oldest redwood is thought to be over 3200 years old and is known as the “President” -Some are wide enough for a car to drive through -Roots only go about 7-8 feet deep but can be spread out over 100 feet -Redwood roots are intertwined with other redwoods which allows them to remain stable even through strong storms. I see Christian Book Academy like a gentle redwood forest where our roots intertwine with one another. -A redwood cone can produce 150-250 seeds, each seed being only the size of a tomato seed. That's about the size of the head of a matchstick Our books also begin with a seed idea. That seed is then watered by God and it continues to grow into something we could have hardly imagined. Redwoods are rugged trees. Some have deep grooves in the bark, some have been struck by lightning, some partially burned by fire, some blown over by winds. Kingdom Writers are a rugged breed as we can all attest to. Many of us have been battered by various elements and yet we still stand tall with the Lord's strength. “These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.” – 1 Peter 1:7 NLT Among these redwood forests are also trees that have toppled over due to old age. These trees are ideal for kids and adults alike to jump up and play on. Many of these toppled trees also have new trees growing out from the middle where it might be hollowed out. These dead trees are still giving life to young trees! There will be a time when each of us topple over but we can continue giving life through our books and writings. “Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith.” – Hebrews 13:7 NLT Finally, a single lone redwood tree is quite impressive by itself but a forest of these giants is spectacular. Similarly, a lone Christian writer can produce impressive stuff but it's a beautiful thing to be part of a forest of Kingdom Writers with all of our diversity, styles and varying backgrounds. We can lean on one another as the storms of life hit. Consider CBA to be a Kingdom Writers redwood forest where we cause others to look up and give glory to our great God!

Meet Dr. Lincoln Parker of Hales Parker Dentistry in Ladera Ranch, CA.  La-dera Ranch is a community located in south Orange County, California, just outside the city limits of San Juan Capistrano. 2010 census had 22,980 people living in Ladera Ranch.   Dr. Parker was born and raised in Orange County, CA and considers it the greatest place to live on earth.  Even last week when I was arranging this podcast with him he was driving home from Redwood National Park with his family and said it was his favorite place to go with his family.   He attending Brigham Young University for his undergraduate education where he also met and married his wife Mimi.  Then they moved to Las Vegas to attend dental school at the University of Las Vegas.  It was there that Dr. Parker says, "I was exposed to many aspects of dental care. It was a newer school and that afforded me the opportunity to experience the latest in technology. There I was also able to push my skills beyond typical dental schools due to the faculty's desire to give us as much clinical experience as possible." He is a passionate learner and has created an environment that focused on the long term relationships and health of his patients, and maybe he will talk about this a little today, but he went to work for a corporate owned dental practice right out of school.  It was there learned what type of practice he wanted to own - and great topic for today.   You can feel Dr. Parker's passion for his profession and helping people by just visiting his website, spending some time on his social media pages and watching a few of the videos he has recorded of what his patients say about him.   We are grateful to have him with us today to talk about his journey creating a practice from scratch and what he learned along the way.   www.crowncouncil.com www.youngdentistprogram.com 

Jeanne Rieke lives on the Klamath River, right where it begins, in California, on the shore of the Pacific Ocean. While driving home from her family's ranch one evening, close to 6 PM, she had just rounded a curve, on a forest road, in Redwood National Park, when she saw a Sasquatch crossing the road up ahead. That experience caused Jeanne to become fascinated with the Sasquatch phenomenon. Now that she had that experience, she's never looked at the woods the same way. In fact, she won't go into the woods alone now.Bill was born and raised in Eureka, California, but when he got older, his parents bought a property in Willow Creek and that's when his Sasquatch experiences began. After Bill and his family moved to that property, he had 2 bonafide class A encounters and several class B experiences.

The world's tallest tree towers 380 feet above the ground in California's Redwood National Park. Named Hyperion, this tree began as a tiny seed, no bigger than a grain of rice. Growing into a giant tree didn't happen overnight. Little by little, day by day, the tree dug its roots deep into the soil to establish a solid foundation. This foundation enabled it to grow tall and strong.Boys can also grow tall and strong. By establishing a strong foundation in God's Word, they can develop strong character that will help them succeed in life.Invest time and attention in your boys.

Author Susanna Ausema talks with the U.P. Notable Books Book Club about her award winning picture book "I Spy...Isle Royale" SUSAN AUSEMA spent her childhood summers on Isle Royale. Her father was a park ranger and her mother was a park volunteer for many years. After moving away in her teens, she returned to work at Isle Royale as a seasonal ranger during her college years. There she met her husband, Mike, also a ranger, in 1998. After serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala, Susanna earned a Master's Degree in Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin-Steven's Point, then worked as a permanent park ranger focusing on educational outreach at Curecanti National Recreation Area, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, and Redwood National Park. When her son, Jasper, was born, Susanna became a stay-at-home mom. When he was two years old, the family moved back to Isle Royale and Jasper began to explore the park as if it were his big backyard. Jasper loves books and Susanna loves to write, so she felt inspired to write a story for him about Isle Royale. After the text was complete, she looked around her pool of talented friends for someone who could illustrate it. None had the time to take on the (pro-bono) project, so Susanna picked up a paintbrush and started experimenting with watercolors. Jasper has helped her judge which styles and techniques are most interesting to a young audience, and together, they've created this book. Susanna's husband is the park's East District Ranger, so they spend their summer days exploring and adventuring on Isle Royale and reveling in the autumn colors and abundant snow in the Keweenaw Peninsula during the rest of the year. Susanna resumed her work on behalf of national parks in 2015 as the membership outreach manager for the nonprofit Isle Royale and Keweenaw Parks Association. All proceeds from the sale of this book support these parks.

California's Redwood National Park was established on this day in 1968. These massive trees have this year been threatened by fires burning in California.

In 1968, Congress created Redwood National Park—or at least part of it. Nicknamed "the Worm," the park extended only one-half mile on either side of Redwood Creek.  It was apparent that this was not enough and work began on a park expansion. Of course, expansion was opposed by local logging companies. In an attempt to blunt the expansion efforts, logging companies ran crews—sometimes 24 hours a day—in an attempt to cut the remaining old-growth in the Redwood Creek watershed, with the rationale that if logged, it would be less attractive to incorporate into the Redwood National Park. That plan failed. In 1978, Congress expanded Redwood National Park and took in many of the cut over lands, with only a fifth of the new land. This decade of intense logging left a major impact on Redwood Creek. Large clearcuts, poorly cut roads, landslides and major floods sent a massive wave of sediment streaming into Redwood Creek. The National Park Service has spent the past 40 odd years cleaning up this mess and studying how Redwood Creek is (and is not) recovering. Two expert geomorphologists with decades of experience studying Redwood Creek join Gang Green to talk about their research. Mary Ann Madej is the author of the recent report, Redwood Creek Watershed Studies: Summary of Geomorphic Research at Redwood National Park and Vicki Ozaki is a staff geologist at Redwood National Park. For more info:Redwood Creek Watershed Studies: Summary of Geomorphic Research at Redwood National ParkExpanding Redwood National Park in 1978: A Critical Act to Save the Park from Virtual ObliterationSupport the show (https://www.humboldtbaykeeper.org/get-involved/donate)

5. Juni 2020: Von unserem halb-offiziellen Übernachtungsplatz werden wir heute zu einem voll-offiziellen Campground kommen. Zunächst erreichen wir aber den Redwood National Park, wo sich unser Jeep ganz schlank machen muss, damit er durch einen dieser Bäume passt. Mit Wein am Lagerfeuer lassen wir später den Abend ausklingen.

21. Juni 2020: Im Sequoia National Park sehen wir zwei Rekordhalter der größten Bäume der Welt – nicht die Höchsten, denn diese sind im Redwood National Park beheimatet. Aber wir werden lernen, wieso Feuer und Brände das Wachstum dieser Riesen begünstigen.

We have often believed that experiences were more important than things.  In light of the holidays and people having gifting on the brain I am sharing some of our favorite things and offering some examples on how we have gifted adventures.    Active/Outdoors:  We have found that if we are comfortable being outdoors we are more apt to stay longer and enjoy it.  Through the years we have leaned on some of our favorite things and brands.   Cold weather gear: Gloves, boots, fun hats.  While we often hit sales at the Columbia Outlet, I also have good luck grabbing these as essential items from Costco.  We've had really good luck with the $12 kids winter gloves, and the base layers (which double as PJs for my kids because they are silky and cozy).   Used Sporting Equipment:  Because we do so much adventuring throughout the seasons and the kids grow so fast we rarely buy new equipment.  Some of the items we have gifted to the kids are Downhill ski boots and skis, snowshoes, ice skates.  These can all be found relatively inexpensive at a place like Play it again sports.  Last year my son wanted to up his mountain bike game and so we worked with a local bike shop to outfit a used bike that would work well for him for the next 5 years.   Bikes: In general are a good active gift.  If your kids are young (under 5) I highly recommend a strider or balance bike, or a family gift of a bike trailer.  We used a Double Burley bike trailer for well over 10 years.  It's also helpful for other things if you are someone who likes to bike.  I know people who use it to get groceries, to haul water back to their campsite or garbage away from the campsite.  It may have also been alternative transportation when a car needed fixing.   Roller blades are also a school-aged gift that was highly sought after.   Things to help enjoy time outdoors.  Last year my daughter received the big swing, it looks like a flying saucer, not sure exactly what it's called.  That swing has seen more attention this year than most other items in our house.  I even enjoy laying on it.  It does require a stable tree branch or a beam to hang it from.  If you are looking for something for the young adults, a hammock is ideal.  Ours is nylon and packs up into a small sack and we bought the adjustable bands and carabiners so we had the ability to take it with us many different places.   Hiking Shoes: last year we were introduced to Saloman Speedcross hiking shoes and I am telling you the entire family is now addicted to those and Darn tough socks.   Camping Gear: Sleeping bags- we had really good luck with the kids sleeping bags from Cabela's (this isn't the exact one, but very similar)  which were inexpensive, but much warmer than the princess and superhero style at most box stores.  We upgraded our older kids to adult sleeping bags - it's important to look for the temperature rating and be mindful of any texture issues your family members might have.  My kids all like the silky texture and no one likes their feet constraint with the mummy style bags.  Or other fun things like water jugs, percolators for coffee, cute storage bins for the camper, a new air mattress- practical things that will help adventure be more fun.   Travel Many of our gifts have previously revolved around a family travel experience so we have slowly built their gear to accompany and make travel more manageable and delightful.   Each kid got their own carryon bag (Owl and Monkey bags) wheelie bag and the coordinating travel pillow.  We invested in an Osprey Duffle that converts to a backpack- it's not small enough to be a checked bag, but in our world of having so much gear, the ability to quickly throw it on your back is great.  (We actually bought while out west on an Amtrak trip.  The Mother Lode travel backpack is on my wish list this year.   Other travel essentials: Packing cubes, toiletry bags, Kanteens (Klean Kantean once through security we fill our water bottles), Bentigos  were really helpful for our road trips- each kid packed their own lunch (coincidently they also are really helpful for homeschooling- having 3 kids with different lunch schedules they all make their own lunches each day now.   Tools to help them document adventures: Camera, journals, Etsy Poster for all the MLB Stadiums Some bigger gifts for adults were our Thule bike rack (attaches to the hitch and swings out so you can open the back hatch) and our Yakima car top carrier.     Location specific accessories or gifts that are inspired by a location Last year we gifted the family a trip to Hawaii (which will now be in 2021) so everyone got snorkel gear When we went to Disney I designed t-shirts for each of the kids, and also bought some helpful things like cooling towels For our stay at the Dude Ranch my daughter got cowboy boots We've also done things like personalized beach towels, or a cool beach gadget.   A book or movie to learn more about or where the movie was filmed (Older son- Major league for our MLB trip to Cleveland, Forest Gump for Savannah, and Jurassic Park last spring for our trip to Redwood National Park and our hike in Fern Canyon).  Things to remember a place by: Ghirardelli chocolate for our San Francisco trip, Jelly Belly's for our weekend getaway to Racine Apps or subscriptions OnX: My brother introduced this to us to give us downloadable maps that provide GPScoordinates.  He uses it for hunting, we used it for camping and hiking out west.  It's great for when you don't have a cell phone signal.  The free trial you can download one map, and with the subscription we were able to download several- not sure if there is a limit. All trails: again a free version to simply find trails to hike, great for planning our adventure trips and finding places to hike.  The subscription allows you to download the maps so again don't need cell signal to find the trails.  I only use the free version. They have the ability to record your hikes and share with others so they know where you are.  We already had OnX so will consider what we will do next.   Scott's Cheap Flights: Gearing up for airline travel, this is a subscription service (I highly recommend) that got us $200 flights to Alaska from Green Bay.  You can set your airports that you want to watch for deals from and destinations that are on your list and they email you any deals that pop up.  I have found great value from this and will be continuing.  State or National Park passes- reminder for National Parks 4th graders, and veterans get in free.   If you are interested in RV camping: Harvest Hosts or Boondockers welcome are memberships we've explored.  I haven't used them yet, but it's on our list for when we are RV traveling more frequently.  I am in several groups and have heard really good things.  Also if this is of interest, something like mobile hotspots or flexible wi-fi.  We have looked at skyroam a few times.  Again, we aren't there yet but if you are traveling a lot it might be worth exploring. If you travel internationally, SIM cards for those locations are needed items.  Also things like portable battery packs are helpful.   Kids subscriptions to magazines or activities: Nat Geo Kids magazines or Kiwi boxes  I will close with one of our favorite indoor activities is my son's current set of Laser Tag set.  If you are someone who needs to switch it up, my nearly 70 yo dad sits in his chair and plays with my 5 YO and it's been a good family activity to play.  A set of 2 were about $30.  We have 2 sets and have a ton of fun playing with those this winter.  And don't forget you can also get something like the Adventure Challenge book, with scratch off adventures for friends, couples, or families (Use Code ORDINARYSHERPA for 10% off).  And for 2 more weeks we still have the giveaway happening.  For anyone who leaves a written review will be entered in a drawing to receive a Advent(ure) Calendar to offer scratch off adventures for the 12 days leading up to Christmas.   Given 2020 is the year for making new traditions, you might want to consider how to add adventure into how you open gifts this year.  Maybe a new tradition of having them complete a scavenger hunt to find their gifts, or wrapping their first gift as a clue to where they can find their second gift.  Another tradition we enjoy is that that last gift opened is a family gift and the person who opens it is the person who finds the pickle ornament on the tree.  (Note: don't do this if you are worried about your tree getting slightly undecorated in the  process) While we are not here to reinforce consumerism, and acknowledge that many adventures can be done by simply putting down your phone.  We also wanted to inspire you to explore how you might make adventure have a more prevalent role in your family story in 2021 and beyond, and if one of these items would help you than I have accomplished my goal today.    This week we have 2 winners of the Advent(ure) Calendars.  Thank you to everyone who left a written review.  I love reading them and appreciate the time you took to share them with me.   1. Investor Mama writes:  Loving this podcast! Can't wait to learn more from Heidi.  W are trying to instill more adventure in our family and I know Heidi is an expert in this area.  Can't wait for more episodes! 2.

Church of Jesus Christ Study Session seeks to generate reflection about areas in the Restored Gospel. Whether it's Come Follow Me, a General Conference talk or a recent Gospel Topic, hopefully you'll find something to keep the Spirit of Christ in your life. Twitter - @mattsroberts90 ldsstudysession@gmail.com You can also join the discussion in the Facebook Group 'Church of Jesus Christ Study Session with Come Follow Me'. Join us today as we begin the study of the wonderful analogy of faith being like a seed. We consider how faith can indeed begin with a sincere desire and we reflect on the ways this faith grows.  Craig C Christensen: "Some people speak of a testimony as if it were a light switch—it’s either on or off; you either have a testimony, or you do not. In reality, a testimony is more like a tree that passes through various stages of growth and development. Some of the tallest trees on earth are found in Redwood National Park in the western United States. When you stand at the base of these massive trees, it is amazing to think that each one grew from a tiny seed. So it is with our testimonies. Although they may begin with a single spiritual experience, they grow and develop over time through constant nourishment and frequent spiritual encounters . . . This is often how a testimony begins: with sacred, enlightening, assuring feelings that demonstrate to us that the word of God is true. However, as wonderful as these feelings are, they are only the beginning. Your work to grow your testimony is not done—any more than the work of growing a redwood tree is done when the first tiny sprout pokes out of the ground. If we ignore or neglect these early spiritual promptings, if we do not nurture them by continuing to study the scriptures and pray and by seeking more experiences with the Spirit, our feelings will fade and our testimonies will diminish."

We compare national parks to movies a lot on this podcast, and that’s mostly because these places have a larger-than-life vibe and atmosphere that truly looks like something out of a film. But no park is as much of a cinematic star as the one we’re talking about today, which is Redwood National Park in California. These soaring forests have totally soared to movie stardom over the years, appearing as the backdrop for some pretty serious blockbusters. And it makes sense; these trees are truly other-worldly, what with its sky-scraping trees, misty beaches, and fern canyons, so we get why the redwood forests are like catnip for movie directors. That’s also what made this park such a fun place to visit, and even better to experience as part of a family vacation. Redwood National and State Parks may not have dinosaurs and Ewoks, like the movies would have you believe, but it’s still an out-of-this-world place to visit.

The ultimate in mutual aid has got to be the assist Australians are getting from US firefighters. These are wildland fires on a massive scale: more than 25 million acres have burned in fires that have raged since September. Thirty-one people—including seven firefighters – have been killed. Thousands of homes have been lost. Those statistics describe a fire the likes of which the US has never seen. And even though the weather has cooperated with heavy rains, it still hasn't been enough. But about 240 US firefighters have travelled to Australia to lend a hand in the past weeks. It's a unique experience, from the landscape to the fuels involved … to the culture shock. My guest today, by phone from Australia, is among the US firefighters currently in-country. Rick Young is in his 30th fire season for both the Forest Service and National Park Service. He's a Type 1 Incident Commander for California Interagency Incident Management Team 5. And he's the Deputy Interagency Fire Chief of Operations for Six Rivers National Forest and Redwood National Park. Support this podcast

Come and listen to fascinating facts about Redwood National Park.

The ways that we manage (or fail to manage) our impacts on the land have left many rivers and creeks without enough water year-round to sustain fish and other wildlife. Randy Klein is a hydrologist who has studied North Coast streams for over 40 years. His research on flooding, erosion, and sediment dynamics in Redwood National Park helped identify the best ways to manage heavily-logged watersheds for stream health. More recently, he has focused on the solutions to low summer flows on the Mattole River in Southern Humboldt.

A few years back we got a tiny taste of the world’s tallest trees in Northern California’s amazing Redwood National Park while driving the supremely scenic coastal route on our return trip from Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park.
