As Eureka is the harbor from where the Redwood were logged and shipped out, a visit to the Redwood National and State Parks is a must (page to come). It is north to Eureka and south to Crescent city. The Redwood Forest is a rain forest characterized by the California Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) that can reach a height of 100 meters and be 2,000 years old. It is different from the Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) found for example in the Sequoia National Park on west-facing slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains. |

Good article in October National Geogrphic Mag. on Redwoods with a 5-page concertina picture of one! | volopolo Mon Jul 27, 2009 03:35 UTC
I love the trees in the tip: Lady Bird Johnson Grove! | icunme Thu Jul 23, 2009 16:16 UTC
Came specifically hoping to re-visit the Chandelier Tree and you accommodated with double duty! Smokey was there when I first visited 35 years ago so it is good to see he hasn't aged! | LoriPori Wed Jul 15, 2009 12:45 UTC
Hans & I have not been to this neck of the woods yet, but sure will some day. The drive-thru tree shows just how huge these wonderful redwoods are. Love the tree house. |
