Hiking to serenity

Over Mother's Day weekend my family and I went for a hike through Armstrong Woods. It was great being in the redwoods and enjoying nature. The hike was uphill pretty much the whole way, so as a photographer I could only imagine what was in store for me at the top. A few hours later we finally got there and it was as good of a view as I had imagined. Tired and physically drained, we sat down and enjoyed the view. It was extremely peaceful up there. It was the type of place that takes you away from the hustle of your daily activities. The light wasn't the greatest but I decided to take a few shots anyway. You can see them below.
