Photo by @tylermetcalfephotography | Traveling down the northwest coast of Washington State and Oregon by bike last summer, I arrived in northern California’s coastal redwoods, where the tree tops reach as high as 379 feet tall. A winding road took me through the dense groves of the Avenue of the Giants in California’s Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
