Redwood Meadow

Up to Sierra Nevada!
Thanks to the road closures (because of snow and winter, but all we saw up was sun and 20 degrees) we saw a very diverse landscape up the hills: an awful industrial city with very bad air, oil fields with hundreds of pumps. Right after some orange plantations (they must be very tasty with all that chemicals around), then England landscape with grass and some stones, and at the end some burnt forest, quite apocalyptic.
We hiked along a river in a beautiful canyon, and we made it to the Seven Teacups waterfalls, after our heads were almost blown off by a military airplane, that flew over us very close and very loudly.
Then we walked the 100 Giants trail, which led us through some thousand years old Sequoia trees, with an incredible size. The fire unfortunately caused some damage in the trees, and some died due to a drought in the last 10 years.
We drove down from the mountains and found a fitness and wellness centre in the town we spent the night at, where we had a nice swim and a sauna for free, 10/10!Read more
