Parks & Nature
Our favorite wonderful park to see the tall redwood trees and have a nice, peaceful hike in the morning and sometimes even see some wildlife if you're lucky. We have seen squirrels, deer, lizards, etc. and have heard many birds such as owls and wrens. Note: in order to enjoy the peacefulness, arrive at this park by 6 am, as tourists start coming in around 8 am or so.
