Redwood National Park added a mile of trail under old growth California coastal redwoods, so I had to go and see these new trees. Bonus getting to look around 'O Rew Redwoods Gateway.

Redwood Grove
On my visit to Redwood National Park, I learned that Redwoods generally grow in a grove around a "mother tree" - so you'll often get this cluster of tall trees around a mega tall tree...or a giant shaded circle where the "mother" used to stand. -
Redwood Forest & Ecosystem
On my trip to Redwood National Park, I learned that the story isn't really about the Redwood trees - it's about the entire ecosystem, which is both under threat and at the center of conservation efforts today. -
Redwoods
Sequoia sempervirens, known as the Coast Redwoods of California, are the most majestic & most perfect trees on Earth. -
Elk Meadow at Redwood National Park
The Elk Meadow in Redwood National Park was, only a few decades ago, a giant paved lumber yard with trucks, oil spills, giant cranes, warehouses, and piles of felled old-growth Redwood trees. Now, the National Park Service has helped nature along and the land is a fully restored meadow with bubbling creeks and Elk grazing in the distance.https://www.nateshivar.com/32418/elk-meadow-at-redwood-national-park/

Redwood Tree on the Trillium Trail in Redwood State & National Parks
It's really hard to over-hype Redwood trees. They are the most majestic flora on Earth. And even though they are scattered throughout Northern California, seeing them clustered together in an intact ecosystem is awe inspiring.https://www.nateshivar.com/32412/redwood-tree-on-the-trillium-trail-in-redwood-state-national-parks/

You can hike among the California coastal redwoods, tallest trees in the world, any month of the year. For this #throwbackThursday, a Feb 2021 hike up Berry Glen. I think it's my favorite of the trails actually within Redwood National Park. It might be because it's so little used. It can be bookended by a pair of the park's most popular trails. It starts beside Trillium Falls and climbs to Lady Bird Johnson Trail, joining next to the plaque where the park was dedicated in 1968.
The whole story of this visit is here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2021/02/berry-glen-trillium-falls-to-lady-bird.html

Starting by the historic barn and wandering down through (and once over) old growth to the tallest trees in the world at Tall Trees. All the details and so many more pictures of big trees are here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2024/08/dolason-prairie-and-tall-trees.html

@ClimateNewsNow have you ever seen Lady Bird Johnson Grove? It is a charming old growth “garden” and with its views of the Pacific Ocean, gives a glimpse of how massive trees create their own climate. We should consider extending redwood forests into southern Oregon coastal areas with warming temperatures moving north. #Redwoods #redwoodnationalpark #climate #ClimateCrisis #trees

Out to see the big redwood trees on a new trail! This one starts off in old growth, but then climbs through thinning big trees and into an old clear cut that isn't that old. They're still a lot nicer than what you'll find on the other side of the ridge where logging continues to this day. (Less than 5% of the old trees remain.)

Made a second attempt to hike the Lost Man Creek Trail yesterday and wasn't greeted with any mysterious "trail closed" sign! So I got to try it out and experience it's redwoods. Big ones at the bottom. Random big ones a little higher. Future big ones all the way after that. There's less than 5% of old growth redwoods left and this is one of those trails that shows it.

Last #ThickTrunkTuesday, I got out into the #OldGrowthForests in #RedwoodNationalPark. #Hiking Berry Glen, I can stop by a waterfall at one end and famous redwood grove at the other with exceptional trees all along the way.

I give you Trillium Falls from yesterday's #hike in #RedwoodNationalPark for #waterfallWednesday! It was a very impressive #ThickTrunkTuesday, but I'll have more for that another time.

Fern Canyon
Fern Canyon is located north of Eureka, Ca and is a real magical place.
The hike into the canyon and back is fairly short and easy but your feet are going to get wet.
Water drips through the canyon walls and is recovered in Fern Creek.
The walls are covered with ferns top to bottom of the canyon with a few fallen Redwoods on the way. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/fern-canyon-bill-gallagher.html #FernCanyon #BillGallagherPhotography #aYearForArt #RedwoodNationalPark
