Klamath, California - Trees of Mystery - the redwoods

There was a Trail of Tall Tales, where a number of chainsaw carvings depicted the tales of Paul Bunyan.





A spiderweb glistens in the sunlight.



Ferns growing along tree branches and give a "frosted" effect.



A cross-section of a redwood that started growing in 1148 and reached a height of 361 feet. Markers trace its life span through 1099 when the Crusades began, 1215 when the Magna Carta was signed, 1492 when Columbus landed in America, 1620 when the Pilgrims landed in the US, 1776 when the US Declaration of Independence was signed, and 1850 when California was admitted to the Union.
