On Thursday, Dawn and I drove to the Big Basin Redwoods State Park, founded in 1902, California's first state park. The drive was spectacular, through curvy mountain roads, often only one lane wide so it could pass between giant Redwoods. Some of the trees in the park are over 2000 years old. Many bear the scars of fires many years ago, but many of the trees heal themselves, often surviving multiple fires over the years.
We took two hikes in the park. The trees are truly beyond description and certainly beyond the ability of a cameral lens to do them justice.
