While on our vacation road trip up the coast in California to Oregon, we drove through some of the giant redwoods. This is the view looking up a few medium size ones. These trees are the oldest living things on earth. Most of them are 600 to 1200 years old. Here is a page you can visit if you would like to learn some more about these amazing trees.
