Giants of the North Coast Redwood Forests Display Vast Span
The Humboldt sequoia stands as the United States tallest tree, amid a vast continuous forest in northwestern California. The forest stretches longer than the Boston to New York or Chicago to St Louis routes, with trunks hundreds of feet tall and twenty-six feet in diameter. Redwoods extend from Del Norte to Mendocino and into Oregon along the Cheteo river, forming a sweeping belt with gaps but dense growth across the coast. A curious glimpse into this forest reveals why these colossal trees are revered and feared for their immense stature.
