If you've never seen a giant redwood tree in person, you're missing out on one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. Endor is real, it exists in Northern California, but there's not really any Ewoks, sorry. Even without them, there's nothing to compare with a 300+ foot high forest of trees. Pictures, film, articles, none of them convey the astonishing majesty of the largest living single organisms on earth. Go see them at least once in your life, you won't regret it.

Actually just did Muir woods after the semester ended... you are not kidding.

I've done a fair amount of traveling and this is without a doubt one of the most incredible places i've ever been to. The trees are unimaginably large, and the woods themselves just amazingly peaceful.

Muir woods is nice, but as I recall the trees there aren't much over 250ft tops. (Note, the tree he climbs in the video is just over 200ft) Farther north, we have more, and amazingly even larger trees.
We have the Avenue of the Giants (where you drive through the forest paralleling 101), drive through trees, Hyperion-the tallest known tree at nearly 380ft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_(tree) , and Trees of Mystery, a great place to tour large and interesting trees I would suggest anyone check out https://www.treesofmystery.net/
