About this episode
The Redwoods are home to the world’s tallest trees.WHAT'S the secret to their staggering growth? Why is this unique ecosystem worth visiting? Noodles and I hike deep into the Old-Growth Redwoods of Northern California to find out! -As always, we'll answer listener question at the end, which include: Have you had any cryptid encounters on the road? Is is hard to drive your van? Any national parks you'd like to go back to? What have the trees been telling you? What's the tree tea? What's the wildest thing you've done for an episode?
