The headquarters for Redwood National Park is in Crescent City. Yesterday morning I went by and obtained a pass for the Tall Trees Grove. Only a certain number of vehicles are allowed down a rough winding road to the trailhead. After locking the gate behind us and driving the 7 miles to the trailhead we walked 1 1/2 miles, descending 800 feet to the grove. It is an amazing place with reportedly the tallest tree on earth. It's not identified however due to the potential damage over time with people walking around the tree, compacting the earth around it. Many of the trees are in the 350' range, some taller. See if you can find Barbara in the first photo.
