I wish I could describe what it is like to walk among the Redwoods, but I am not sure there are words adequate to describe them and the awe one feels walking among them. I do know that when among them I always feel like I should speak in whispers. These photos, too, the last I'll post of the Redwoods, only hint at their majesty and beauty.

I tried a number of these photos to try and give some sense of how tall these trees are, but none of the photos really tells their story.

This was the Smith River the morning we left Jedediah Smith State Park and headed north for the California-Oregon border. We had been looking for a footbridge across the river but finally discovered that it was not in place.

Taken along the trail through the Simpson-Reed Grove in Jedediah Smith State Park, the photo shows the Sword Ferns that are everywhere among the Redwoods as well as a fallen tree, part of which has been removed to keep the trail clear.

Another photo from Jedediah Smith State Park and the Redwoods. I believe this was taken the first morning in northern California and the grove is the Templeman Grove.

Our first day in California was spent among the Redwoods. We went directly to Jedediah Smith State Park and walked some of the trails there before taking a long drive through the park on Howland Hill Road, a one way gravel road that took us back to Crescent City. We did some hiking at various points along the road as well, including the Stout Grove trail and this photo was taken there.

No photo or description that I have ever seen does justice to the majesty and wonder of these trees. We spent several days exploring the Redwoods in northern California, an area we had visited before, but never tired of them.

Many of the Redwoods have massive burls on the trunk or at the base of the trunk and they are as fascinating as the trees themselves. This photo was taken along the Howland Hill Road in Jedediah Smith State Park near Crescent City, California.

Taken along the Redwoods Highway south of Crescent City, California. Along the coast the day was mostly cloudy and dull but where the road climbed a high headland we were above the fog and stopped along the highway and took these photos.

The day this photo was taken was mostly foggy and dull but driving south from Crescent City and climbing a high headland we came above the fog for a short distance. These Redwood snags were just visible in the remnants of the fog and the shafts of sunlight.

While in northern California we stayed in Crescent City but drove from there to the Redwoods in Jedediah Smith State Park and in Del Norte State Park. One of those days we drove south following the Redwoods Highway and though it was very foggy climbed above the fog at one point and stopped for these photos.
