Right off the bat we saw a bear. Very exciting!! We stopped along the highway to see huge stands of Sequoias. Later we drove down a fire road and saw where the rangers we conducting prescribed fires. Now, in the 1960's the rangers did their very best to put out all the fires. Later they learned that they were harming the eco-balance so are now trying to put things back to natures cycles. We hiked Redwood Canyon which isn't redwoods at all, but the largest stand of Sequoias of ten foot in diameter. There are 2200 in the Redwood Forest area, a fact the rangers are quite proud of.
