Big Trees State Park in Arnold, California is a bit of an unknown gem. You've probably seen pictures of it but not many people go and actually visit. It's full of old growth giant sequoias. Unlike the coastal redwoods which are known for being tall these ones are known for being massive. In other words they are WIDE! And also still quite tall. The open terrain of the park really helps you feel their gargantuan-ness too.

It truly feels like you've just walked into Tolkien's Middle Earth or something and I am not aware of any comparable place anywhere else on the planet. I highly recommend putting the redwoods and sequoias on your bucket list.
