There are a bunch of trails you can take while inside the woods. I ended up taking the long
one with my brother Jeff. It turned out to be the best call because it was the only one
not trafficked by huge numbers of young kids.
The forest is really amazing. We've got a lot of tall oak trees back in Northern Virginia,
but the red woods here put them to shame, both in terms of height and age. There are a lot
larger red woods in other parts of California, but it's really amazing that a forest of trees
this old would exist so close to a city the size of SF. It's not really possible to capture
the true size of these trees on film while inside the forest.
