A great place to go to take photos showing how small people are compared to redwood trees is Bull Creek, located right next to the Avenue of the Giants in the Rockefeller Forest. The Dyerville Giant fell to earth on March 24th, 1991 and has become more famous since falling to earth. The tree has a diameter of 17' and a circumference of 52'. This tree stood 200' taller than Niagara Falls. The fallen giant is located in Founders Grove along the Avenue of the Giants. Can you find the people in these two shots? Both of these sights are located just a bit South of Pamplin Grove and would make a great day trip. |
