Worlds Largest and Oldest Trees

Chandelier Tree is a 315 foot (96 metre) tall coast redwood tree in Leggett, California
with a 6 foot (1.83m) wide by 9 foot (2.74m) high hole cut through its base to allow a car
to drive through. The hole was carved in the 1930s. A dead log from a giant sequoia exists
lying on the ground in Sequoia National Park with a similar hole cut through it.

The California Redwood Country is in the far northwest corner of the state, south of Eureka
along U.S. 101. The best place to view redwood trees (and drive-through trees) is by driving
the Avenue of the Giants highway, which begins six miles north of Garberville. You can easily
drive this two-laner in a couple of hours, even with short stops. Or, better yet, stay awhile and
camp in one of the many state park campgrounds.
