On Sunday Afternoon we took a drive to Cathedral Grove where we were able to walk through some of the tallest trees in North America. They are dwarfed by the California Red Woods, but we were amazed nonetheless.
The kids had a fun time running through the pathways and enjoying the cool air of the shade.
The largest tree in the park is over 800 years old. It is 76m tall and 9 m around. It is taller than the leaning tower of Pisa. It took 7 adults to stretch their arms around the entire base of the tree. Then we all stood in front to take a picture along the tree that was laying down.
There was a warning sign at the beginning of the trail to say that if it got really windy you were to exit the park immediately. This was due to the possibility of the trees falling over.
The vegetation in the grove was amazing as well.
Everything was so lush and green. There was a tree that was growing inside the trunk of another tree. And one that we could all fit inside.
