Starting down the Tall Trees Trail
|
|
 |
It's hard to tell how tall these trees are because we can almost never see the tops
|
|
 |
Many trees were damaged by fire like this one, and worse
|
|
 |
Not many had broken off

We think these bushes at the side of the trail are rhododendrons. This would be spectacular when they're in bloom!
|
|
 |
I found this picture on the internet of rhododendrons in bloom in the park
