• Redwoods Nightlights

    Ubered out to the Redwoods tree park after dinner to do the Redwoods Nightlights walk in the trees after dark! Similar to WildPlay, but they have this course with just bridges and platforms, so no need for a harness. But all the trees are lit up with lights and art installations in the dark, quite the experience! Definitely worth it for CA$34 (+ about $15 Uber each way oop)

    Super neat light installations, and you can take it at your own pace, so I was one of the last ones there at the end, before they closed at 11:30pm. Quite peaceful in the dark and quiet.

    All these Californian redwoods are planted here about 60ish years ago as a forestry experiment to see which kind of wood would best be suited for lumber in New Zealand. Turns out the redwoods were too slow growing and the wood wasn’t ideal.
