Mount Shasta to Roosevelt Basecamp, Orie

Up early and porridge for breakfast before starting the long drive up to Oregon, around to the west and back into California, joining the Redwood Highway.

Once on the Redwood Highway we slowly traveled south, through the giant redwood trees. 🌲

We stopped at the Trees of Mystery but they don’t allow backpacks so we didn’t go in.

Instead we continued south and came to our accommodation, where we dropped off our suitcases. We then went into the forest and followed the Lady Bird Johnson Trail before going to the visitors centre. On the way there car announced that the tyres needed inflating but we were in the middle of nowhere so that would have to wait.

We made dinner in the room as there were no restaurants anywhere.Read more
