incredable, just bloody incredable.
The deck looks good in front of the Big Tree. Where is that tree in the other picture. I think I seen it on my trip out there but not sure.

I 150% agree. I cant imagine.
I was blown away by seeing old growth White and Norway Pine here, which are not even an ant fart compared to the giants out west.
Keep up the awesome pictures!!!!!!!!!!
Also at Prairie Creek, like 100 feet set back from a trail. Think the trail may be called Foothill trail.
It seems like a place that can't be exhausted for hiking and enjoying.
Even when I visit the same areas or trails, different weather or light change the whole experience.
A couple more pics from last week ...
I want to get back out there and go through the areas north of Prairie Creek. That was as far north as we made it from garberville in a day. I wish we would have taken a few more days to see more now.
Shoot me a line when you head West again, I'll make sure you see the best of what is left.
Del Norte has the biggest and best, some areas are not to be believed. Humboldt has many good places to visit, hike or drive through.

Not far from my home, there's a great BBQ place out of Klamath (salmon head lodge) that is awsome, right in the middle of the great redwoods, just past the trees of mystery, check out treesofmystery.net good site

I've never had a chance to talk in person to an old school logger that spent their time dropping the big boys, but I'd like to think that more than a few look back with some lament that a couple thousand years of history was clearcut for not much more than railroad ties. You can talk all you like about replanting and all that, but I can't imagine that even in 500 years those sites will be what they were.
It's ironic how we look at the mass devastation happening in places like russia and the PNG, clear cutting of old growth and point out the more sustainable logging methods available now. People in those countries point out perhaps rightfully how Europe and later the US clearcut their own forests to lay the foundation for their own industrial revolution that slighshot their countries to the forefront of the economic world. Kind of a tough call on whether it was worth it or not... it was hard honest work knocking those trees over, but look where its brought us.
