August 29, 2016 Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, south of Klamath California

Just a few miles south of the RV park is the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park.  We drove a 12-mile scenic road this morning, admiring the beautiful, TALL, big redwoods.

Sit back and enjoy the pictures, keeping in mind the tallness, the beauty, the aroma doesn't show in pictures.


 Here's all of us in front of ONE main trunk.

I'm pointing to three marks that indicated at some point someone wanted to cut this tree down.
 Yes, we all fit inside this.
 It is hard to show how tall these trees are.

See the left tree growing off the base of the main tree.
 Can you see Glen?
 We barely take any space against this tree trunk.

 This is called the "Corkscrew Tree"...three trunks twisted from one base.

The ferns grow tall under the redwoods.
Glen says this is at least 30 feet across.

This indicates the tree below is 304' tall, 1500 years old.
Here we are at the base of the Tall Tree.
This is looking up toward the top of the Tall Tree.
I am sure we will see more coastal redwoods in the next week.
