Wow, these are incredible. A buddy and I are planning a trip up to Humboldt. I told him we now need to check out this trail. Holy cow, it’s heavenly. Such paradise. NorCal is seriously one of the most gorgeous areas on planet earth. Thank god us Californians can visit it any time we want.

[@wisestguy]

Nice video, great editing!

[@ErnestormExplores]

Thank you! I had a fun time putting it together! Can’t wait to go back up and visit again!

[@jelleb7236]

another mesmerizing and beautiful short docu ! Thanks Ernestorm, again from the Netherlands.

[@ErnestormExplores]

Hi Jelle!! So happy that you enjoyed this one as well!! Hope all is well in your part of the world! I have more videos coming soon! :)

[@thebeautifulhobo1]

I live in Del Norte and pass through this forest on my way to town 5Xs a week. To see the many folks from around the world visiting these majestic forests always makes me smile and fills me with hope that we might yet save our planet. These trees represent 5% of the original 2 million acres that was logged.

[@AB-ry3ri]

Great video we just saw them today!

[@ErnestormExplores]

Thank you so much! Thats awesome that you got to see them today! Was it your first visit?

Hopefully you get a sponsor soon Ernie!

Great video production. Thanks!

[@ErnestormExplores]

Hi! Wow thank you so much! I love making videos and I love nature more so thank you!! Cheers! :)

[@jillafinley]

Majestic experience. I can’t wait to see it again. My hubby’s backyard when he was a kid. It really is a “wonder of the world”. Pictures and videos don’t do it justice. 🥰❤️

[@ErnestormExplores]

Hi friend!! I couldn’t agree with you more! Truly no other place like it! I feel blessed to have been able to explore it and live relatively close to the redwood coast! Thank you for stopping by ♥️

[@Meditation5D]

Love this! Makes me want to go back ❤

Sweet man

[@ErnestormExplores]

@@DanielGarcia-vu8vw right? Bro you have to come back home and go up there let’s go!

[@stevensims3342]

Absolute OLD growth. Amazing. The fact so many of these trees were cut down is a travesty. At least some remain.

[@rayray4192]

95 percent were harvested for money. Humans are a defective species. You are living on the lunatic asylum planet of the universe.

[@captainroastabotch5300]

It really is, I cant believe they did this

[@AdventureOutThere]

Great video! We’ve been to Jedidiah and didn’t do this trail. We’ll have to when we go back. Thanks!

[@ErnestormExplores]

Awe thank you much I’m glad you enjoyed it! You for sure have to check it out in person I think you will love it !!

[@katianovoa9996]

Wow excellent job. We need to go to that place. 😊❤

[@MatCain72]

Great video - I did a video on this but not an informational as yours. I didn't realize which trees I was looking at at on my visit but it is a magical spot.

[@ErnestormExplores]

Hi friend! Thank you so much! I tried to hard to make this video provide cool and fun facts so I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it! I’ll be sure to check yours out too! I couldn’t agree more that this place is magical! I think I’ll be heading back up in a couple weeks I’m So stoked!

[@paulthompson2147]

Great video thanks for sharing. On my bucket list to go someday. Love Redwoods.

[@ErnestormExplores]

Hi Paul! Wow thank hon very much I’m Glad you enjoyed the video !! I really hope you do get to visit soon it’s such a cool place and the tree are just magical!

[@Nucky007]

Love your videos! 🤙🏼 Quality work. Visual and informative. Wondering if you have time to help. I’m driving through the redwoods in July and trying to pack as much in as I can in a short amount of time. Should be arriving into the Hiouchi Visitor center by 3:30pm (8:42pm sunset). Do you think this timing is possible? 3:30p/ Hang out at visitor center for 20-30 minutes 4:10pm/ arrive at Stout Grove and spend 1 hour. 5:10pm / Hike Grove of Titans and drive Howland Hill Road to Crescent City (2 hours) Arrive in Crescent City at 7:00-7:30p

[@Nucky007]

Also, if there is anything I must see? and do I have time to spare with this itinerary? Thank you Ernestrom!

[@ErnestormExplores]

Hi there friend! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you stopping by and enjoying the video! I am excited for your visit! You will love it! That seems like a plausible time for itinerary to me! The visitor center is really close to both of those two trails, and both those trails are really short.

[@iloneclezar]

Árvores maravilhosas! Eu consegui imaginar o frescor e o bem estar que é produzido o caminhar entre as árvores.

[@ErnestormExplores]

Obrigado!! ♥️

[@ourv9603]

So, the trees have names? If you call to them do they come running? !

[@ErnestormExplores]

They sure do! I tried to call them but they were to stiff to come runnin ‘ lol maybe next time ?

[@harrietpeabody2118]

[@tombosanko3085]

I miss walking thru those trees.

[@ErnestormExplores]

Me too! I wish it wasn’t an 8 hour drive for me! How come you haven’t been walking through them? Also a long drive ?

[@KitFrost]

After reading the book "wild trees" I committed to exploring the titans, and did so in 2015. It was not signed and there was no boardwalk, what a precious experience. I am saddened by the need for people to share the gps and other location indicators. When I clicked on your KZbin video I was hoping you didn't get too specific about locations of the great ones.

[@ErnestormExplores]

@@KitFrost Hello friend! I love “The Wild Trees” such an inspiration indeed! I’m glad to hear you had such a wonderful experience prior to the building to the boardwalk! I hope my video didn’t let you down! Although the trees themselves are the highlight of the grove and sure don’t need a plate depicting the names that Dr. Sillette so affectionately named! Thank you for sharing friend! Happy trails to you!

[@isabelab6851]

Is there a map with the location of the trees? I am planning a visit

[@ErnestormExplores]

Not to my knowledge :( it’s not public yet I think

[@rayray4192]

@@ErnestormExploresProfessor Stephen Stilett discovered the grove as well as Hyperion which is 372 feet tall near Orick. Ge kept the grove a secret until an arborist in Medford Oregon ( Vendeen) published the location. He’s not loved by the rangers. During Covid the state built the metal walkway because people were compacting soil around the trees. I used to remove my boots and walk in. Sir in the grove alone for hours in silence. Those days are gone.

[@ErnestormExplores]

@@rayray4192 ohhh man that bums me out to hear, I had kind of read about that before my visits I really wish I could have experienced it that way before they made the trail in. It sure is a shame

[@ErnestormExplores]

@@rayray4192 an arborist named Vadeen eh? Hmmm 🤔

[@rayray4192]

@@ErnestormExplores we would place branches across the “ society” trail to hide the trail. It was primitive. The state gave up trying to keep people out.

You walked right by The Lost Monarch (largest in The Grove) and didn't even mention it...

[@ErnestormExplores]

Hahah I know I wasn’t sure if it was it or not. I also didn’t get to visit the Del Norte Titan either, I’ll be heading back again next month for that lots of trees so much driving lol

[@musclerussell8109]

Hi can dogs go on trail

[@ErnestormExplores]

Hi friend! Thanks for stopping by! Unfortunately it’s a no dogs trail, looks like there scent prevents other native animals from entering and passing through the their native habitat

[@redfox1991]

Those are not Sequoias

[@ErnestormExplores]

Hi! Happy you watched the video thank you! Coast redwoods are Sequoia Semperviren and hold the genus of “sequoia” as there name. The “giant sequoia “ you are likely to be referring to are the mountain redwoods and by genus are sequoiadendron this only called “sequoia “ by sino name only, Both are under Cupressaceae family :) pretty cool right ?

[@rayray4192]

They absolutely are Sequoia. Coastal Sequoias. They get 60 % of their water from fog.

[@tdawg719]

I recently visited these same trees and was blown away by the otherworldly mystic and size of these giants. Absolutely breath taking. I would however be interested to know the method used to measure the height of them. I have a DJI drone, and when I ascend to 160-190 feet it appears to be about as tall as these trees. Yet the stated height of them is much taller.

[@rayray4192]

@@tdawg719 Professor Steven Stillet at Humboldt State University shoots an arrow above the tree. Attached to the arrow is climbing rope. He climbs up and drops a line to measure the tree. Hyperion down by Orick California is 372 feet tall or maybe 373 by now. The four Titans are all over 300 ft. tall. Happy you made it into the grove. Please donate to Save The Redwoods. I used to lay branches over the primitive society trail to hide the trail and preserve the trees. A Medford Oregon arborist published the latitude and longitude of the grove. During Covid the state sent a crew in to trail build and do erosion control. The steel staircases are the result. The 1 year project closed Mill Creek trail. I went in anyways. It was quiet. You could sit in the grove for hours on a weekday and see zero humans. Those days are over. Sad.

@@ErnestormExplores hey brother from another mother: Rey Damnation Creek trail just south of Crescent City. First three minutes is uphill and then downhill for 45 minutes to the ocean. Secluded small beach where Damnation Creek flows into the ocean. Life changing hike. It’s a bitch uphill to the car, but great work out. Biggest Sitka Spruce I’ve ever seen. Fog heading down and filtered sunlight through trees back to car will cause you to almost cry from the beauty.

[@rayray4192]

It’s a shame the longitude and latitude was published. We used to hide the society trail. Almost no one knew where the Titans are.
