360-acre addition will make Armstrong Redwoods stronger
onEach of California’s redwood parks is a treasure in its own right. But there’s something uniquely precious about Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve. Crisscrossed by footpaths and the burbling Fife Creek, this sublime grove of ancient redwoods contains several notable giants, including the uniquely shaped Icicle Tree and the 1,400-year-old Colonel Armstrong Tree. The reserve is also one of the few intact stands of old growth within easy reach of the San Francisco Bay Area.
