Arriving at the Redwoods

After a long journey and some incredible scenery, we finally arrived to catch a peek at the redwoods before complete darkness (even though it was already pouring rain!). I had read about the Chandelier Tree in Leggett, which said the tree was so large you could drive your car through it! I had to believe it to see it, and so did the kids. Here is someone else going through the tree ahead of us!




The specs of the tree opening are listed.


This is the very base of the tree. I can't begin to capture it's enormity!


There you have it! It really exists. 315 ft. tall!

How neat to think that you are standing next to something that was living 400 years BEFORE Christ was born!
