Hike To Giant Ancient Redwood Trees - Big Basin State Park

Today I get to see some of the oldest living things on Earth! Many of these timeless trees are over 2,200 years old! It is such a privilege seeing something so old and still growing.
Big basin was overrun by fire in 2020 and looks a lot different now than it did in years past. Fortunately it is growing back, and almost all of the redwoods survived. Through hard work, many of the trails are being reopened. I met some men and women working on the trails this day and thanked them for their effort. It is a tough job and I appreciate them very much.
While on this hike my RUclips channel gained its 1,000th subscriber! Thank you all for following me and making this channel so fun to maintain!

All the animals were saying, "Geez doesn't this guy ever stop talking?"

Such a beautiful trail! I gotta make my way up there. And congratulations on 1k! 💚💚💚

Thanks! It's a long windy drive but worth it. And nobody is there on weekdays.

I just left Redwoods National Park. We did a trail that had Redwoods that are approximately 1500 to 2000 years old!! They were unbelievable 😮
I enjoyed your walk through Big Basin. I haven't been to that grove yet. 😊

Last night I saw you had some redwood vids coming soon. It is humbling seeing these trees. Hard to wrap my mind around how long they have been here.

@outsidewithmike I just love them! Being in the groves brings such great energy ✨️
