The Avenue of the Giants

Redwood Coast

I feel tiny and humbled among the gargantuan redwoods, the world’s tallest living trees, monarchs of the North California Coast. Coastal Redwoods can live to about 2000 years old, and grow to nearly 370 ft tall. Their 12 inch thick bark makes them resistant to insects and fire. I am in awe beneath these giants.

I not only drove through the Redwoods, but I drove through a Redwood.......a live growing tree that had a tunnel going right through it! Now that is a big tree.
