Investing isn't all about the stock market these days...it is also about investing in personal experiences like viewing the natural wonders of the western United States. And tops on this "wonders" list has to be the California Redwoods and Oregon's towering trees. Over our next several blogs, we will explore the cool driving/sightseeing trip that starts in Eureka, California and ends in Ashland, Oregon.
So many of our Rogue River whitewater rafting guests like to wrap their trips around a bonus "adventure." And, this driving trip is a mystical doozy!
Start in the quaint town of Eureka, which is located on northern California's western coast. This town's historic district is filled with colorfully painted "ladies"--or refurbished Victorian houses. You will begin on Highway 101 and dip south. Soon, you will take a 32-mile spur that leads you off the highway and along a two-lane road (route 254). This stretch of road will take you beneath a canopy of massive branches belonging to the giant Redwoods, averaging 200 feet tall and 500 years old (see photo above of these spectacular beauties).
Next blog: Another installment of this "investment" driving tour takes you back up north into the Northern California town of Trinidad, heading towards southern Oregon and the beautiful Rogue River area!
