I've lived here for a lot of years.
We have gone on many rides out in the canyons, hills, country side, etc.
BUT, I NEVER KNEW that not too far away was UTAH"S one and only Sequoia tree...yes, indeed, a non-giant redwood.
So, we finally ventured out and got to see the interesting and unusual bit of history!
It was really a great day - it's so fun to learn new things and to see new places!
This redwood tree was planted in 1933 or 34, so it is, of course, much smaller than the redwoods of California. Several trees were planted at the same time, but this is the only one that has survived.
The place where it was to be found was a challenge to get to; it's not far, but for seven miles the road is rocky, narrow, dusty, etc. But, once you arrive here at the Browse Station, it was so beautiful, filled with such green trees, and had a little brook babbling near by. A perfect place for a picnic, but, alas, we had no food.
Next time.
