🌲 Founders Tree – A Towering Tribute to the Redwoods' Legacy ✨

I visited the awe-inspiring Founders Tree in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, located along California’s iconic Avenue of the Giants. 🌲✨

Standing at over 346 feet tall, the Founders Tree is one of the park’s most famous and accessible redwoods — a living monument to the incredible power of nature and the conservationists who helped preserve it. Named in honor of the founders of the Save the Redwoods League, this majestic tree symbolizes the effort to protect California’s ancient forests for future generations.

Walking beneath the Founders Tree feels like stepping into a cathedral of nature. The towering canopy above, the scent of redwood bark, and the quiet rustle of leaves remind you how vital these forests are — both as ecosystems and as symbols of what can be saved through care and dedication.

It’s humbling to stand at the base of something so old and enduring — a tree that’s witnessed centuries of change yet continues to thrive. The Founders Tree is more than a natural wonder; it’s a testament to the importance of protecting what remains wild and sacred.
