Humboldt Redwoods * Trails wind their way among massive trees. These trees may not look terrribly large in terms of their circumference, but they tower well over 150, sometimes 200 feet. * 1713 x 1189 * (1.8MB)

Humboldt Forest * Redwoods will not infrequently grow in very close proximity to one another, even to the point of merging into one another, as these two trees almost accomplish at their base * 1189 x 1723 * (1.73MB)

Humboldt Path * The lush verduous hues of a redwood forest can be awe-inspiring * 1732 x 1180 * (2.48MB)

Eel River * The Eel River, a major waterway in southern Humboldt and Mendocino Counties, has of late been running lower than usual, as much of is water is stolen to fill swimming pools in Southern California * 1732 x 1134 * (1.49MB)

Comment: Here is Avenue of the Giants, on an October morning in 1999, after a night of rain. Note the mist along the trees. In the non-rainy season (from May to September), redwoods receive the lion's share of their moisture through mists and fogs that plague the Northcoast all summer.
