We really loved this area of the Northern California coast. Maybe because we had perfect weather, and because it's close to the giant redwoods, but mainly because it's just so beautiful.
 | Not far south of the Redwood National and State Parks is the small coastal town of Trinidad. For $20 for three nights, we stayed at The Heights Casino in the upper parking lot, which was very quiet and gave us this view steps from our trailer door. |
 | The Trinidad State Beach was a popular spot for dog walkers and enjoying the surf. The Trinidad Head Trail starts in the parking lot. |
 | These banana slugs were everywhere. I understand the residents are not fond of them. |
 | Just north of Trinidad is Sue-meg State Park. We hiked the Wedding Rock trail and drove to the Agate Beach overlook, pictured here, looking north towards Big Lagoon. |
 | On the beach at Big Lagoon, looking south with the pampas grass shimmering in the sunlight and salt spray. You can see the remnants of a road that has been washed out by ocean erosion. |
 | We were delighted to be in the right place at the right time to see this glider land on the beach. The beach at Big Lagoon County Park has numerous signs warning of sneaker waves that have drowned several people here. |
