The Giant Sequoias of the Sierra Nevada Mountains

[@Venture_Fanatic]

One of the best things about Cali is all the Natural Stuff to get lost in.

[@c.michellesparks2925]

The second most calming thing next to a campfire is a quiet walk through the redwoods.

[@Dont.Care.Bear2]

Incredible. Nature always hits the reset button for me, thanks for sharing.

[@JakeNorth24]

I live in the middle of Canada and drove down the west coast from BC to San Diego one year. On that journey I happened upon the Redwood National Forest. Everyone should walk among these stunning giants. Put it on your bucket list. The majesty of these trees makes you feel so insignificant on this planet. It’s just awe inspiring. Thanks for sharing Hawk! It’s been a while since I’ve thought about that trip.

[@bt.c.1829]

You are in my backyard! Have a good time exploring. I have the pleasure of living here for 39 years now! 🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲

[@philipcollier7805]

I'd rather be a forest than a street.

[@wilsonburgess7196]

Yes I would...

[@amberandrews6842]

🥰🥰🥰

@@wilsonburgess7196 ‘Deed I would, I really would. 🙂

[@user-bp1yc7kh2e]

We did what we called the "tree tour" awhile back....flew in from the East coast, and drove from one forest to another. Saw the Redwoods and Sequoias, Mir forest, the Valley of the Kings, and more. Absolutely loved it.

[@MichelleRedmond-p8q]

Thanks for taking us on a awesome trip 🎉

[@janwright3003]

Such beauty! Sequoias are amazing. Even the fallen ones are works of art. Yes.. you earned it 👍🏼 Thank you for the nature tour .. loved it!

[@suzymagan7575]

Some of us have never seen trees so big or as old as those. Native Georgian here. Sherman burned all of ours long before me. Magnificent! Majestic! Thank you!

[@KailuaKonaGirl]

I’m also from Georgia and never imagined how big trees are supposed to be until I wound up in a career that had me traveling all over the world. Take a weekend and go see Joyce Kilmer and the Albright Grove, remaining old growth forest up in the Smokies. I promise you it will change how you see everything. And try to imagine how virtually every square mile of our continent was once covered in trees like this - like plain old tulip poplars as big around as a pickup truck. Go.

[@marilynhoward380]

Mother Nature can astound one.❤

[@sharonmyers7016]

This is my favorite place. We were there 24 years ago in the winter in a motorhome. Snow pack had to be 15+ feet. We didn't get to see the base of the trees, so thank you for this tour. I would love to be in the peaceful Sequoia forest again. Good memories.

[@janelockwood347]

My first visit to my sister in 98, we visited Muir Woods- it was gobsmacking….. such majesty. It was sad to learn of how sooo many of the ancient ones were just chopped down… beautiful place.

[@lionfish3630]

Thanks for taking me on a beautiful walk!

[@elizabethbrauer1118]

This Norcal girl thanks you for this beautiful hike. Moved out of Norcal because I couldn't afford it anymore - now in Oregon, surrounded by some magnificent (but shorter) trees. Nice looking pizza, too! 🍕

[@indigowolf556]

Oregon is beautiful. I'm right above you in Washington😊

[@MaryRicketts-g7k]

Thanks for the walk in those magnificent trees. 🌲🌲

[@takkmoran9770]

I had the good fortune to see the Sequoias firsthand years ago. I was more impressed by them than by the Grand Canyon. Absolutely awe inspiring!

[@angelacecca548]

That is incredible. Thank you for sharing that. How peaceful.

[@terryt.1643]

My parents took us kids there some sixty years ago. I still remember the peace of being among those big trees. Your video is a gift. Thanks.

[@reignofbastet]

SQUIRREL!!! Thanks for taking us on a little hike; I haven't been able to do that for a bit. I hope you know how much people appreciate you here. You're brave for speaking so openly and frankly about hard subjects that a whole lot of us can identify with, but your delivery is the best. Please don't ever lose your sense of humor. Or your, most excellent, taste in music. Haha Have a great trip.

[@eclipse.5295]

This was fun! Thanks for taking us, ❤ from Florida!

[@jillmclean5804]

Great video, thanks so much. Nature Heals, if we let it! What can matter more than the natural world and our connection to it? Good to hear you chuckle ro yourself!

[@jamiefonseca9688]

Majestic sequoias thank you this is medicine for the soul

[@annejohnson5875]

Brings back memories of camping at Kings Canyon National Park.

[@m.turpel4818]

Wow. These trees are amazing!

[@marmed991]

How majestic! Thank you for sharing this!

[@earnellduhart8847]

Proof that man can not outdo mother nature,period.

[@indigowolf556]

Nature will always win, 10 times over

[@Jogie100]

Such a magical area to see. I’ve loved every second of every minute I was fortunate enough to visit. The scale is indescribable

[@journeylvr]

A great way to put your problems into perspective!!

[@Marie-vp8rl]

The Redwoods of California is still my favorite place to get away from it all....rent a cabin, grill up some fresh caught fish & sip on some adult beverages. Heavenly!😊❤

[@journeylvr]

Thank you, Hawk for taking us on your field trip!!

[@Jaggededge112]

What a gorgeous forest!

[@jackifeild8940]

Thank you man. I love this. It's otherworldly. Thank goodness they survived! What a beautiful place!

[@Lara92021]

I really love this! Thank you so much for taking us.❤🥰

[@rmdemita]

Absolute peace! Thank you!

[@critterscute3642]

Thanks for sharing those beautiful marvels of nature. Gorgeous!

[@Hominid00inthemirrow]

I bought some giant sequoia seeds a couple of years ago and I now have six young sequoia seedlings about a foot high. I have some friends that are land owners that I'm gonna give them to. We've already talked about planting one and how we will never live long enough to see them grow to maturity, or anywhere close to maturity, but they all agree with me that it is a good thing to do.🌲❤️

[@JuliaIsaac-u9y]

Incredible experience. Gives us a whole new perspective. Thank you

[@laurakayhart7599]

Thank you for that wonderful walk. It's cold and icy here so getting out today was a no go.

[@pootpooterson4664]

Nothing like a sequoia grove. Glad you got out on the trail.

[@amberandrews6842]

I used to live in a house surrounded by Sequoias. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 It was an amazing experience.

[@terid2401]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@sheilahibl6183]

I really miss them and the smells. It has been way too many years. Thank you for sharing them

[@Catfluff521]

I’ve never had the opportunity to travel; I only got to see the giant sequoias because my sister lived in CA and I got out to CA a few times. Majestic is the only word to describe those giants.

[@paulajc88]

Wow, thank you for bringing us along with you. That was breathtaking, and so humbling… I need to go there 💖

[@fiarfli]

Thanks for taking us along. Viva vicarity

[@1stacelaine]

It's beautiful!

[@Tedroy]

Rode bikes through the Nelder Grove 20 years ago. Way epic. Stayed at Tenaya Lodge. California is a jewel.

[@Katelittlewolf]

A beyond beautiful hike and what looks like delicious pizza ! You earned it. Now it can snow.

[@Susan-kz8dd]

My hubby and I went to Muir Woods and took a walk around there, and it was fantastic. The size of those trees is just massive. When you get far out there in a woods it always smells so wonderful it smells all Woody, and you can actually smell the pine, and it's just the air smells so much better.

[@indigowolf556]

I love Muir woods. It is so beautiful😊

[@Ms.darla63]

I was blessed to grow up near these giants! It is AWE time Lol You must put on your bucket list!

[@JLingelbach1]

BEAUTIFUL, Thank you! 💕

[@HopefulFox-ms5pq]

Hawk, thank you for sharing the beautiful Sequoia forest with us. 🌳

[@Jennifer-h5f]

Looks like Calaveras Big Trees State Park in California.

[@Satans_lil_helper]

Breathtaking.

[@vickyhoover3619]

Thanks for the beautiful walk. I was there years ago and this sure brings back wonderful memories. Those trees really are huge! Such a spiritual place.

[@julielacy]

Beautiful- Enjoy!

[@kimmiek504]

Nature is a beautiful thing. We shouldn’t take it for granted

[@juliabensman9586]

I've been to the Sequoia National Park. It is truly amazing. And to think how old some of those trees are is just mind boggling when you consider a human's life is such a very short existence on earth. Breathtaking

[@sandythiede3902]

Awesome tour !! Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@kathleendepew1683]

I walked around a huge one that took me 50 paces. So impressive.

[@wilsonburgess7196]

Thank you Hawk. I bet the native people's never dropped one of those bad boys...for ANY reason.

[@jocelynerousseau7098]

Jealous! But so beautiful! Enjoy!!!❤

[@psssstyeahyou]

Thanks for the beautiful scenery and enchanting walk in the big trees. I had no idea you were so teeny tiny. Merry Christmas miniman. 🎄

[@kathyamen7173]

Thank you. I appreciate this so much.

[@susanhartline7539]

On my "must see ~must do" list!!

[@flovoyager6036]

Visited Redwood National and State Parks a couple of years ago, part of a bucket list trip. Stayed at a KOA literally IN a redwood forest. And Wow! It was awesome. Quiet, beautiful, restorative. Thanks for reminding people about these incredible places!

[@mylightningbug]

I’ve always wanted to see them

[@kathleendepew1683]

Do it!

[@libbyliberty2885]

Me too

[@floief]

Thanks, Hawk :) I grew up playing in the Redwood forest that surrounded the neighborhood. The kids before us had built a log cabin and a giant swing. It was fairyland.

[@terrymoorefield5918]

Great video. Yes, those trees are massive! Thanks Hawk!

[@TCassell-fh3jv]

Thank you for posting

[@MartineReed]

Hug some trees. Talk to them. They will answer. Peace.

[@indigowolf556]

Where I live here in Washington, I love going on the little trails and touching all the trees and just looking at them. It feels so surreal. To see these massive trees. They can tell a story and I like to try to figure out which one is the grandfather and which one is the grandmother.

[@onealjones9039]

Hey from the redwoods of the North Coast! Humboldt County represent!

[@judi-spiers]

Thanks for the tour! 🌻🌻

[@noragelineau3490]

Oh my meow! Those Sequoia trees are incredible! Beautiful magnificent. Thank you for sharing. Your Christmas retreat has been the best.

[@missy-me]

Trees are amazing creatures. I grew up in So Cal, but never had to the time to visit the giants. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

[@kellahella5286]

I’m 68 yrs old and have spent a lifetime camping and hiking amongst the Redwoods.

[@nancylindsey2225]

Thank you for sharing 🎉🎉

[@BrawndoDrinker]

Calaveras Big Trees! California has some amazing trees in it. Sequoia National Park and the Redwood park up on the coast are both great places to visit. And if you can find a Bristle Cone up in the Sierras to complete the trifecta of record breakers.

[@kimber8568]

Oh so glad you got there. My fav trees. Miss them so. Used to visit a tree 1500 yrs old in Santa Cruz mtns 25+yrs ago. My daily meditation. It lost its top in 1954 the year l was born.

[@barbaradoye1989]

Very beautiful! I love being outside! That pizza looks so yummy, too! Thank you for sharing! Take care!😀

[@ur22much2]

The background sound of being in those giants is so peaceful and mentslly relaxing. I love it. Wish I could get back there. get away from the other people and cars though.

[@jacquelynallen488]

Beautiful.

[@RobertKeller-m3h]

Thanks for sharing your hike through the giant sequoia Hawk. Made my day!

[@indigowolf556]

Thank you for that tour. I haven't seen those giant sequoias in a long long time since I was a kid and live there in southern california. Being out in nature is such a humbling and amazing experience thank you for sharing it with us.😊❤ PS where's my slice of pizza 🍕? 😀

[@susanbecker5678]

Thanks so much the last time I was there I was 1975 😊

[@tamarab9548]

Wow! Thanks for sharing. It is so beautiful. I don't think I've ever been there.

[@robinroupe9940]

For years and years I have wanted to go see the Sequoias. There’s something about them that I am drawn to. One day I will get there.

[@marvataylor5804]

Thank you for the share. Enjoyed your adventure including that pizza.

[@pattistennett8022]

It's good that you went out into the trees. I'm sharing with you one of my all-time favorite books now that you've been amongst them. I hope you'll read it. The Wild Trees by Richard Preston.

[@Michele-z4k]

To be there in person and stand next to one and then look up; it puts our meager human existence is perspective. We are grand but not as grandiose as those trees.

[@donnafagan2830]

I LOVE nature

[@indigowolf556]

Isn't it amazing when you really do stop and hear nature.

[@suek.1507]

Absolutely amazing!

[@elled10024]

That’s how massive many a tree and forest could be; if only we’d had the foresight💚🎄edit: the Redwoods are one of the most majestic places in the world. Nothing like them to make one feel like a tiny little earthling - almost like one travels back in time to a place where humans were one with nature. Yum. happy for you.

[@patriciaself2957]

thanks for sharing. awesome

[@LorieAnnGreer]

Thank you. That was fun. The pizza looked delicious. Enjoy!

[@mikest.pierre8603]

Thanks for sharing. I've been to Kings Canyon to see the giant sequoias. It is absolutely stunning and awesome. That word is so overused, but it just fits. They're just jaw-dropping! They're just immense! Long ride up through the switchbacks. It's worth every turn. I highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

[@Mavrick-j1h]

There's some pretty big trees here in Western Australia but your one's in California arre something else.

[@Jaggededge112]

My dog likes the sound of your voice. She got up and started licking my phone. She never does that.

[@Kksgranny76]

I went to Tane Mahuta the largest tree in New Zealand. It’s absolutely massive and has a walking bridge around it. You can’t even imagine the scale. Trees are amazing!
