I just got back from spending 8 days up in the Northern California Redwoods and what a blast it was! It never gets old for me to see these magnificent towering redwoods. We had 14 great individuals join us on this 5 day camping trip. Even 3 Backroads employees came along and joined in the fun! One of the highlights of the week has to be the mountain biking on Day 4. Five miles of grueling climbing on a single-track dirt road brought us up to the ridge where we then turned around and had some of the best downhill that I have ever experienced. Not to mention the fantastic time I had shooting with a Backroads photographer on this trip. Never had so much fun shooting! Check out some of the highlights:
