About Giant Sequoias & Redwoods
Coast redwoods hug the foggy Pacific shoreline of Northern California, drinking moisture straight from the mist, while giant sequoias stand in high Sierra Nevada groves where the air is thin and bright. A mature sequoia trunk can stretch wider than a city bus is long, its cinnamon-red bark spongy enough to absorb small fires and keep right on growing. Walking into one of these groves is something quieter than silence, the canopy closes overhead, ferns carpet the floor, and the ordinary sense of scale simply dissolves.
