Jug Handle Trail: Location 17

Three generations of redwoods make up this family circle. The central space was occupied by the first-generation tree - when it toppled, the second generation of trees sprouted from its still-living root crown, only to be logged off around 1900. Now the young third-generation trees are taking their place in the forest.
