Did you know that 3 redwoods would make an Eiffel Tower?


Did you know that 3 redwoods would make an Eiffel Tower?

The redwoods are known as the tallest trees on earth! They are found in a narrow strip along the pacific ocean from south Oregon down to Big Sur in Central California.

Muir Woods is a small national park located 30 minutes drive north of San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge.

Muir Woods National Park was founded back in 1906 thanks to the antiquity act approved by congress . John Muir was a major player in creating a number of National parks in the USA including Muir Woods National Park!

The redwoods can reach 379 feet tall and can live for almost 3000 years old!

Indeed, 3 redwoods would be as high as the Eiffel Tower in Paris not the one in Las Vegas! ( 1200 ft)!
