Walking among the giant redwood trees in a mist of raindrops, I feel the enormity of nature. Many of these majestic trees starting growing hundreds, even thousands, of years ago and may reach over three hundred feet tall. Located in the northernmost coastal area of California, this particular tree was in the Lady Bird Johnson Grove.
"It is fitting that a magnificent redwood grove in Redwood National Park be dedicated in honor of Lady Bird Johnson, who has given generously of her time and talents on behalf of the natural beauty of the land she loves so well. That beauty is uniquely expressed in the Redwood National Park established by the Act of Congress of October 2, 1968, while Mrs. Johnson was First Lady of the land."
