Redwoods Path at Praire Creek

Sequoia sempervirens - the tallest trees on Earth. They drink from the clouds because nature hasn't yet evolved an organic process to pump water 300 feet upwards.

Clonal Sprout

In addition to new seedlings, Redwoods can also reproduce by sprouting from burls of the parent tree - these new trees are clones of the original. Unclear what happened to the base of this clone.

Prairie Creek

Massive core root system. Redwood roots spread shallow and broadly across the forest floor.

Big Tree
