Klamath, California - Trees of Mystery - the redwoods

These are gorgeous!! Some of the trees are almost 2000 years old and nearly 300 feet tall. Plaques throughout this park provide interesting facts:

At one time redwoods of many species covered most of the earth. The ice age destroyed most of them except those of the coast and the Sierra Nevada.

Redwood Bark is a protector against fire, as it has neither pitch nor resin. The wood contains great amounts of water. Redwood is used in building, as it is impervious to disease and insects.

Plaque reads, "Several weddings take place each year before this beautiful cathedral tree."







Nickie adored seeing this tiny little mushroom embedding itself in a huge redwood tree.
