Eureka, California (July 11th - July 17th)

Eureka... Temperate Rainforest



Packing List:
-jacket
-plant species book
-hiking boots
-camera
-tent


Adventures:

The redwood forests of California are so grand, you can't even imagine it without seeing it with your own eyes. Everything here is so big! Eureka is known for having some of the tallest sand dunes in all of North America! Those sand dunes are home to coyotes and lots of plants like dunegrass, evening primrose, and shining milkvetch. At the base of these dunes is a dry lakebed. We camped out and slept on the dunes most nights, and luckily didn't have any run-ins with the coyotes.

We hiked through the Redwood Forests where the trees seem to go on forever, both in diameter and height! You can't even wrap your arms all the way around most of the trunks. Some days were spent on the breezy and cool Humboldt Bay.
