Avenue of the Giants
The Avenue of the Giants is a scenic highway in Northern California, U.S.A., running through Humboldt Redwoods State Park. It is an old alignment of U.S. Route 101, and continues to be maintained by the state as State Route 254. The highway is notable for the Coast Redwoods that overshadow the road and surround the area. It is from these towering trees that the Avenue of the Giants takes its name. The road winds alongside the scenic Eel River, and connects several small towns such as Phillipsville, Miranda, Myers Flat, Burlington, Weott, Englewood, Redcrest and Pepperwood. The two-lane road has a number of parking areas, picnic sites, and attractions for visitors. The nearby river provides many excellent swimming locations, such as those at the Rockefeller Forest redwood grove.
Being situated just off a major highway, and having attained some degree of international fame, the Avenue has many attractions for visitors, both natural and human-made.

California forest managers are trying to stop chainsaw-wielding poachers who are targeting ancient r
VOICE-OVER SCRIPT:
THESE ANCIENT REDWOODS ARE THE TALLEST LIVING THINGS IN THE WORLD. AND
THEY'RE BEING ATTACKED BY CHAINSAW-WIELDING POACHERS.
THIEVES ARE CUTTING OFF KNOBBY GROWTHS KNOWN AS BURLS THAT ARE PRIZED
FOR THEIR RICH WOOD GRAINS.
SOUNDBITE: Jeff Denny, park ranger, Redwood National & State Parks
These are invaluable resources, irreplaceable resources, that are being taken out of the public's hands for a very quick, very limited private profit.
WHILE POACHERS HAVE BEEN HITTING REDWOOD NATIONAL AND STATE PARKS FOR YEARS, THE SCALE AND FREQUENCY HAVE INCREASED.
AND THAT'S THREATENING CALIFORNIA'S REMAINING REDWOODS -- TREES THAT WERE HEAVILY LOGGED OVER THE PAST 150 YEARS.
SOUNDBITE: Leonel Arguello, chief of vegetation management, Redwood National Park
So every time you expose that inside layer that's protected by bark, you then have a potential for disease. And that's what can eventually lead to additional stress, canopy die-back, mortality.
REDWOOD BURLS CAN FETCH HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS A PIECE. THEY'RE USED TO MAKE ARTISAN FURNITURE, WOOD SCULPTURES
AND INTERIOR CAR PANELS.
SOUNDBITE: James Simmons, owner, Wagon Wheel Burl
They give us bad publicity. The burl shops are not the root of all evil here. Some of us are innocent bystanders in this.
BURL DEALERS SAY POACHING IS BAD FOR BUSINESS, AND THEY WANT AUTHORITIES TO DO MORE TO STOP IT.
SOUNDBITE: Landon Buck, owner of Redwood Burl
I don't think the laws are strict enough, and I don't think the punishments are being enforced hard enough. I think some examples need to be set.
PARK OFFICIALS RECENTLY BEGAN CLOSING A POPULAR SCENIC HIGHWAY AT NIGHT TO DETER THIEVES.
TOURISTS WHO COME TO SEE THE TOWERING TREES ARE TROUBLED BY THE POACHING.
SOUNDBITE: Evan Pearson, tourist from Seattle
Yeah, it bothers me a lot. I came here to see the untouched forest.
A FOREST NOW MARKED WITH VISIBLE SCARS.

Drive-Thru Tree Chandelier Tree World Famous Redwood Forest California National Park Trees Part #2
World Famous Drive-Thru Tree Chandelier Tree Redwood Forest Leggett California National Park We had to visit the Redwood Forest since we were so close. We asked someone how close we were to the famous drive-thru tree and said not far at all so we decided to go see it. I didn't know this but it is on private land that a family has owned since 1922. It's weird because you are driving into it and all you see is normal trees and you wonder if your in the right place then all of a sudden you are in the huge trees. It's pretty amazing and I would recommend visiting if you are ever in the area. The drive-thru tree is called the Chandelier Tree and it is 315 feet tall and 21 feet in diameter and they say it is over 2,400 years old. We had to wait in line to drive through it and there was a BMW going through so I had to get a video of it coming through.

Avenue Of The GIANTS
The Avenue of the Giants is a scenic highway in Northern California, United States, running through Humboldt Redwoods State Park. It is a former alignment of U.S. Route 101, and continues to be maintained as a state highway as State Route 254 (SR 254).
The southern entrance to the Avenue is just north of Garberville, and the northern entrance is 15 miles south of Fortuna. The highway is notable for the Coast Redwoods that overshadow the road and surround the area. It is from these towering trees that the Avenue of the Giants takes its name.
The road winds alongside the scenic Eel River, and connects several small towns such as Phillipsville, Miranda, Myers Flat, Burlington, Weott, Englewood, Redcrest and Pepperwood. The two-lane road has a number of parking areas, picnic sites, and attractions for visitors. The nearby river provides many swimming locations, such as those at the Rockefeller Forest redwood grove.
The route contains the site of the annual Avenue of the Giants Marathon
SR 254 is not part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration. SR 254 is eligible to be included in the State Scenic Highway System, but it is not officially designated as a scenic highway by the California Department of Transportation.
Though not the oldest redwood in the forest, this large tree is over 950 years old, and is currently around 250 feet tall, though originally it was much taller. It has survived not only the ravages of time but also the 1964 flood of the area, a 1908 attempt at logging, and a direct lightning strike which removed the top 45 feet (14 m) of the tree (making its original height close to 300 ft). It is from its age and the perceived hardiness to the fates that the tree derives its name. Markers are visible on the tree, denoting the heights of where the loggers' axes and the floodwaters struck the tree.
Situated in the northern half of the Avenue, The Immortal Tree is easy to find, and has a large gift shop and parking area in front of it.
