Description
Armstrong Redwoods is a national park in Sonoma County, California, near Guerneville and just north of the Russian River. Here, stately, majestic, magnificent coast redwoods, or Sequoia sempervirens, are protected in a preserve and natural park which, somewhat ironically, was established by an 1800’s lumberman, Colonel James Armstrong.
The park‘s tallest tree is the Parson Jones Tree, towering more than 310 feet high; its oldest tree is the Colonel Armstrong tree, thought to be over 1400 years old; and its most unusual tree is the Icicle Tree, which has some of the burl formations which grow on these redwoods.
Coast redwoods are the planet’s tallest living things, and are among its oldest living things. They can live more than 2000 years, and have been found more than 375 feet tall.
It is peaceful, serene, and humbling to walk among these verdant giants.
