 Big
Pines: The Tallest, Largest & Oldest in the world!
Redwoods, Sequoia,
Bristlecone
Tall coastal Redwoods, massive Sequoia's in the Sierra or
the oldest living things on earth, the Bristlecone Pines. Yep,
they are all here, all in one glorious state - California, where
else?
The Sequoia is part of the Redwood family of trees. These
massive trunks have shallow root systems, so you won't find too
many campground tent spots at their base.

the tallest:
The Coastal Redwoods tower high above the blue Pacific, growing
in fern lined canyons & more often than not, under a foggy
layer. Most of these groves are located in Northern California,
but a few located on the Central Coast get their recognition.
There is rumor that LA even had one small set of Coastal Redwoods,
that is - if the smog hasn't killed them yet. Their are tons
of parks with these kinda Redwoods & some are almost 40 miles
from the ocean:
the largest:
The Sierra Nevada mountain range has dimension. The largest trees
on the planet. These thousand year old Sequoia trees will put
it all in perspective. The size of most inner city one bedroom
apartments would fit inside the base of these beauties. There
are several places to see Sequoias:

the oldest:
NorthEast of the Owens Valley/Bishop area lies the Ancient Bristlecone
Pine Trees. This park gets over looked my many heading to the
western Sierra's to get their tree fix. While Mammoth Mtn is
a huge tourist destination, the White Mountains have the nights
skies, aspen groves & seclusion you may be looking for.
