Amazing - The Avenue of the Giants in California, USA is one of the most breathtaking drives in the world, winding for 31 miles through towering redwood forests in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The road parallels Highway 101, but it offers a slower, more immersive journey beneath ancient trees that reach heights of over 300 feet. These coastal redwoods, some thousands of years old, create a cathedral-like canopy that filters sunlight into golden shafts, casting an almost otherworldly glow across the forest floor. Driving along the Avenue of the Giants feels like stepping back in time. The sheer size and age of the redwoods inspire awe, and the tranquility of the forest brings a deep sense of peace. Along the route, there are plenty of places to stop and explore—picnic areas, hiking trails

The Chandelier Tree is a 276-foot tall coast redwood tree in Leggett, California with a 6-foot wide by 6-foot-9-inch high hole cut through its base to allow a car to drive through. Its base measures 16 ft diameter at breast height (chest-high). The name "Chandelier Tree" comes from its unique limbs that resemble a chandelier. The limbs, which measure from 4 to 7 ft in diameter, begin 100 ft above the ground. The tree is believed to have been carved in the early 1930s by Charlie Underwood.
