The California redwood is a fascinating tree that can grow to be the height of a 35-story building with a width of over 20 feet at the base of the trunk.

These endangered trees, which can grow to be over 2,000 years old, can be found in abundance in Redwoods National and State Parks in Northern California.

These parks consist of a series of protected forests and beaches in the coastal region, with massive old growth woods and plenty of wildlife to go around. Visitors can hike, drive, and camp among these gigantic trees, and maybe even spot the elk who live among the redwood forests.
