Story

After dinner, we headed over to the redwoods. The Redwoods Treewalk was one of the things that we enjoyed a lot. They have a bunch of cable bridges strung between redwood trees that were planted about 120 years ago. You walk on all the bridges and then tree platforms in a big loop, and after dark, they have lighting effects with wood lanterns and roof lights and laser projectors, so it gives a pretty fun effect on the trees and surrounding growth. We got there just in time to beat the crowd and were about a third of the way around the loop when they turned the lights on. As we were exiting, there was a huge line of people waiting to go in for the after dark part.
