Where's the Big Trees?

As we were getting ready for our trip, we read some books and looked at a few short videos on the Redwoods.  So on our drive to Northern California we kept hearing, "Where's the big trees?"  

We saw a lot of big trees on our adventures in the Redwood Forest.  They were truly amazing.  The enormity of some of them left us speechless.  All you could do was just stand there with your mouth open.  

Here are some pictures of the "big trees"....

This is one of the first "giants" we came across.  It was on the path to the gondola at Trees of Mystery.  

This tree was at a stop we made off of the Avenue of the Giants.  This was also where we saw the "Immortal Tree" which had been through flood, fire, and lightening and a loggers ax...and it was still living.  

Here is one of the first trees we came across on another hike in the Founders Grove.  

This was the "Champion" tree, standing about 375 feet tall before it fell.  It fell in 1991 but the enormity of it was still there.

This tree was hollowed out by fire.  We saw a number of trees like this that had been burned in the center but have continued to grow. 

Of course, we had to stop at one of the drive-thru trees.  Cannon had to fold in the mirror on the passenger side so it would fit.  

Some more images from our hike in Founders Grove.

Our trip through the Redwoods was awesome and something the whole family enjoyed!  Lots of wonderful memories!

Enjoying every moment.
