The amazing trees here that I love so much are western redcedars, actually - which are apparently not even a true form of cedar. They are not redwood trees like I originally thought. Redwoods (or giant sequoias) can grow over 100 m tall (the tallest is ~115m) but these only grow to 50-60m tall. They are babies in comparison.
They are still very tall and majestic. There's one clump of them near my house - I like to take Audrey walking back there, and walk between them. 
There's one spot where I'm between them all and it is dark even when the sun is bright. It feels like a magic place that I would make into a private fort as a kid. I would like to go there and have a picnic - even though it's just behind someone's house :)
