Monterey & Northern California #3

Giant coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and Big Basin Redwoods State Park in Santa Cruz County, California. The largest trees are over 300 feet (91 m) tall and 17 feet (5.2 m) in diameter. They sprouted from seeds the size of oatmeal flakes nearly 2000 years ago, and grew into giants taller than the Statue of Liberty (from the foundation of pedestal to torch).
