"All words are futile to describe the tremendous majesty of the great redwoods, and mere figures such as three hundred feet as their height, or the fact that a hollow trunk can contain thirty-six people, leave the imagination cold. One has to be alone or with some single, very intimate companion to get the true impression, the deep silence of the grove, the shadowy religious light, the tremendous majesty of the red columns, the vistas between them, the solemn subconscious effect produced by their two thousand years of age."
Arthur Conan Doyle
