Taken along the Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt County, CA

This Giant fell during a wind storm. As you see the roots are shallow for a tree that is hundreds of feet tall

To give you an idea of the size of these trees consider that the road is wide enough for 2 cars to pass ant the tree here is as wide as the road.

Known as the "car" tree. The park center showed a picture with a car parked inside.

Certain rings are labeled with corresponding ages. Many of the trees in the redwood park go back a long, long time.

Yeah, I GUESS it's big...

The Redwood Highway. The road was built around ancient coastal redwoods. The size of these trees are amazing! One of the best drives in the world. Northwestern California
