“The famous grove of giant redwoods which stands about six miles north of the city of Santa Cruz, Cal., is among the great curiosities of the Pacific coast.

“To reach these wonders one drives through one of the most picturesque sections of California. The highway penetrates to the very heart of the mountains, clinging to the hillsides, running along the lofty banks of the lovely San Lorenzo river and delighting the eye at every turn with some exquisite bit of mountain scenery.”
