Redwood National Park, CA

Welcome to the Redwood National Park, California!

These redwoods stand 250-300 feet tall.

Here I am at the base of one of these giants.
Perhaps this will bring into perspective
just how tall they are.

A beautiful grove of redwoods.

Almost like a vanishing point in a photo.
It is nearly impossible to show you the
height of any of these trees.

The sequoia trees we saw last year were the oldest
trees. The redwoods are the tallest.

I did shoot several short videos,
but I can't figure out how to post them
on the blog. Maybe my daughter will teach me?

Being among these trees is like being
in a green cathedral.

I was able to get one with some sun on it.

Redwood trees grow in the northwest section of
California due to the amount of rain and the
cloudy and misty conditions. This is called
temperate rain forest, thus moss will grow as well.

Ferns also grow abundantly and are large.
The bottom right is a good example of
shelf fungi.
Tomorrow we head off to Crater Lake, Oregon
for two days. Chances are we will not have
internet service, so please check back in a
few days. Thanks for coming along with us!
