This tree segment was right outside the Visitors Center on the "Avenue of the Giants"
The tall coastal redwood trees keep the forest floor so dark that deer rarely venture in - the types of plants they eat can't grow here in teh dark. (This was taken at mid-day)
This was just one of the redwood tree's we saw, no labels, nothing on record as being the biggest or tallest.
This is a fairly typical view of driving through the "Avenue of the Giants". These are coast redwoods, which are different then the giant sequia's.
Avenue of the Giants is a stretch of highway that goes through some of the old growth redwood forests in Northern CA.
This is the "Travel-log". It was hand-hewn in 1917 by Charles Kellog from a 22 foot long section of redwood cut from a tree that had fallen.
This is the interior of the "Travel-Log" vehicle. It is the largest piece of hand hewn redwood in the world at 22' long and 11' wide.
Although it is mid-day, it remains very dark at the forest floor. This is a section of old growth coast redwoods.
Agate Beach is at Patricks Point State Park. The path has been damaged by storms this winter and the last 15 feet or so are very difficult.
Agates wash down from the bluffs and then are polished by constant wave action. There were several people on the beach collecting Agates while I was there.
This seems to be one of the few flowers that can grow in the shaded floor of the redwood forest. It was broad daylight, but I had to use a flash to get this shot
We couldn't quite fit the RV through this tree, so figured we might as well fit us into it!
Our RV wouldn't fit, but most cars can drive through this. Nice little tourist attraction.
This large tree has been cut so cars can drive through it. They charge $5 for it.
This is the road from our campground, it is surrounded by tall redwood trees.
