Nothing is better for the soul than hiking through a forest with giant trees. Solitude, endless beauty, pine tree smell, birds chirping, shaded forest floor, and quiet. The sound of trickling water streams as you make your way down a twisting forest valley and wind rustling through the leaves above you. On Labor Day we decided to put on our hiking boots and spend part of the day in Big Basin Redwoods State Park. This was California's very first state park, and after hiking through its gorgeous forest, I can see why.
