Episode 8
Take a minute to virtually walk under some of the tallest and most complex redwoods in Redwood National and State Parks. The trees in this episode are over 300-foot tall and have dozens of reiterated branches in their canopies. These reiterations are often much wider than what a human can reach around. However when you look up, you can only see about a third of any old-growth redwood. The rest of the tree is hidden from view by its branches, limbs, and leaves.
This trail is in ancestral Yurok lands and is in Redwood National Park. We are posting this series of eight 360 degree videos so you can relax in the redwoods. No music or narration is added. Use VR goggles, your mouse, or move your handheld device to look in any direction.

Redwood trees with red furloughed bark are also seen.
