Redwood National Park

 

June 27, 2022

Visiting the Redwood Forest, we were amazed at the size and beauty of the monsters.

  We tried to come up with adjectives to describe these trees but awesome and wow were as good as it got for us.  Most of the trees we saw, we weren’t able to see the tops. 

It is hard for us to think that some of these trees were taller than a football field.  Sadly, I wasn’t able to show how big these trees are.  The redwood trees are the tallest in the world and their cousin the Sequoia are the largest. We went through the Lady Bird Johnson Memorial Grove early.  We had to climb, on the road, through a heavy fog to get to the Grove.  The Grove was above the fog but as we walked the trail the fog began to climb into the Grove.  Fog and sun combined make for some pretty nice photos. 

The fern plants were amazingly large.

  Some were taller than me.  I hope that the pictures show the size of the trees and ferns.  In the under growth there were some beautiful moss-covered trees.  Through out the park there were wild flowers and rhododendron.
