After stopping at the Redwood Park Headquarters for information in Crescent City we drove NE to the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. |
Joe was told by a ranger at the headquarters that the road in the park is the same road that was used during stage coach days. |
The redwood trees didn't have the same enormous look as the sequoia's trees did, but because of their height, they are the largest living thing on earth. |
They can grow up to heights of 375 feet. |
The road was narrow in some spots. |
There is no charge into the park. |
The Redwood Forest contains more biomass per square foot than any other area on earth, which includes the Amazonian rain forest. |
This is a picture of half of a redwood tree. I just couldn't fit it all in one picture. |
The Coastal Redwoods are found in a narrow strip on the northern coast of California. |
Views off Hwy. 101 on the way home. |
This is a nice beach just north of Klamath, CA. |
It was close to dinner time, so we didn't have time to do anything but take some pictures. |
There were a few people enjoying the beach, even though it was a bit cool. |
