This forest gets it name from the vast expanse of redwood trees found within its bounds. These ancient trees have had plenty of time to grow completely undisturbed by any unnatural interference. Their mighty trunks range in size from massive to mind-blowing. Other trees and undergrowth dot the forest floor, dwarfed by the giant redwoods. It’s difficult for anything to thrive on the dimly lit ground beneath the canopy of enormous redwoods. Fallen leaves and moss deaden most any sound, creating a quiet, dark, and intimate wooded landscape.
