Bay Area Short Trips | Redwood Forest, a Hidden Healing Corner

| Redwood Forest, a Hidden Healing Corner. This article describes a travel experience to the Redwood Forest, which is very realistic and immersive! Here is the revised version, with more consistent language to avoid being too similar to the original, while maintaining the storytelling and practicality: Looking back on that trip, it remains one of the most touching experiences in my memory. 🚶‍♀️🌲 From downtown San Francisco, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes by car to reach this forest. Along the way, you will pass the Golden Gate Bridge and catch a glimpse of Sausalito, a dreamy waterfront town. The moment you step into the forest, the healing feeling is indescribable. The fresh air and sunlight penetrating the tall tree canopy make you feel happy. Occasionally, you can see lively little squirrels jumping around. According to the introduction, there are also traces of large snails, deer, and even salmon here. Although I only encountered little squirrels this time, it was enough to make me happy. These redwoods are the tallest tree species in the world, with an average age of 800 to 1,500 years. Standing at their feet, the shortness and insignificance of human life arise spontaneously, making people awe the power of nature. However, going alone this time also taught me a lot of lessons. If you choose to go like me - by ride-hailing, remember to plan every step of the return trip. 🌟 When approaching the forest area, the signal will gradually disappear, and the return transportation problem needs special attention. Although I successfully arrived with Uber, the driver canceled the trip on the way back because there was no signal. The staff at the visitor center told me that the only way was to walk to a place with a signal. So, I almost ran for more than 50 minutes before I finally found a signal and successfully called a car. On the way, I passed several valleys and saw some hidden hiking trails, occasionally encountering a few scattered hikers. I left San Francisco at 12 noon and started walking in the forest at about 1 pm. Walking along the main road, it happened to be the weekend, and there were quite a few local families. When I was ready to return at 4 pm, the sun was still full, but considering the difficulty and safety of calling a car after dark, I quickened my pace. Finally, when I got in the car after 5 o'clock, I was completely relieved.
