What) The Redwood National and State Parks are located in the United States along the coast of northern California. The parks consist of a combined area of 131,983 acres (534 km2) and they protect 45% of all remaining Coastal Redwood old-growth forests, totalling at least 38,982 acres (158 km2). These trees are the tallest and one of the most massive tree species on Earth. In addition to the redwood forests, the parks preserve other indigenous flora, fauna, grassland prairie, cultural resources, portions of rivers and 37 miles (60 km) of pristine coastline.

    Sequoia sempervirens is the sole living species of the genus Sequoia in the cypress family Cupressaceae. Common names include Coast Redwood and California Redwood. It is an evergreen, long-lived, monoecious tree living for up to 2,200 years and this species includes the tallest trees on Earth, reaching up to 380 ft (116m) in height and 26 ft (8m) diameter at breast height. It is native to coastal California and the southwestern corner of Oregon within the United States. (1)

    Why) It is probably not correct to include the Redwood Forest on the Buckys list as there are many other scenic attractions that I could have included but did not.  Regardless, take a look at the images and artifacts that I gathered during this part of the trip.
