| As the signpost at Big Tree shows, there are many big trees in the area. |

| Looking up at redwoods along the Ah-Pah Trail. The middle tree suffered damage many years ago and now four new trees are growing from the top of the first tree. Redwoods also sprout from burls on the side of trees and roots -- highly unusual for conifers. |

| Prairie Creek also has a resident elk herd. |
