Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park – Felton, CA

#springitinerary Henry Cowell in spring was a peaceful retreat into ancient forest. The redwoods were damp and glowing with moss, and the ground was dotted with tiny wildflowers and mushrooms. I took the Redwood Grove Loop Trail, where the trees towered above and sunlight streamed in patches. Cool temperatures and earthy scents made every step feel grounding. #springitinerary tip: take the steam train through the forest for a fun twist. Less crowded than other redwood parks, it’s a great spring spot for quiet reflection or a laid-back family day out.
