Although all seasons are nice in the forest, autumn is my favorite season to go out hiking among trees. The wet weather really "dials-in" the the lichens and liverworts on trunks and bark. And washes dust off the leaves. This huge tree is in the park roughly 1/2 hours south of Brookings, just a few miles south of the border line. Oregon has a few redwoods nearby too, just a bit smaller. The best photos I have of this large one happen to both be from our wonderful rainy weather.

Now that it's rifle hunting season, I'd highly recommend you wear Hunter Orange when out traipsing in the woods. It could save your life.

I do believe the Del Norte tree is possibly the most handsome and justly proportioned of his noble race, sporting the desirable height of 205 cubits head to foot, and a girth of almost 50.
