We visited the ol’ home town area this weekend for a class reunion and finally had a chance to see and enjoy the Redwood Sky Walk at Sequoia Park Zoo.
This is rated as the best there is anywhere and I have to brag that my Cousin’s Son was/is the Design Architect for the project. He was raised in a family of Loggers and I pick up quite a few carryover themes in the designs like spar tree rigging, fire watch tower timbering and choker cable connections.
Anyway a few pictures.
A brief video showing the scope of what your seeing.

An interesting thing that happens in a Redwood forest is the growth of new trees from old logs or stumps, Not the old stump sprouting new but a new seed bedded in an old stump and taking hold.
A couple of examples.
A Spruce tree growing on top of an old Redwood stump
A Redwood growing on an old strup.
Just a shot of a tough old timer
