On the way back to San Francisco from Patrick's Point we decided to take a scenic byway (in spirit of my resolution from four years ago to always take the road less travelled!) and drive through Humboldt Redwoods SP on the Avenue of the Giants.

Luckily there are several places at which the two roads meet, so you can "escape" from the park once you get saturated with the redwoods.
Here are the only two pictures that we took along the route:
