“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Thirty Second President of the United States (1933-1945), Governor of New York (1929-1933), US Democratic Politician (1882 – 1945).
Places: Redwood National and State Parks, California, USA
The national and state parks that care for the Giant Redwoods throughout California are an incredible place to visit and see some of the largest living things on earth.
Muir Woods National Monument is the most talked about place to see these amazing trees. There are, however, other state and federal parks where you can camp among the trees.
California Redwood trees can grow and live for more than 2,000 years. They are not only one of the largest living things (growing higher than 350 feet) but they also hold the distinction of being one of the oldest living things as well.
These massive trees are also commonly nown as Giant Sequoias or Sierra Redwoods.
