Grove of Titans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grove of Titans is a redwood tree grove including several massive redwood trees in Northern California. The largest coastal redwood in the grove is called Lost Monarch.
The Grove of Titans was discovered on May 11, 1998, by Stephen Sillett, and amateur naturalist Michael Taylor. The exact location of the of the grove has not been disclosed to the general public, but a few people have documented this grove.[1] [2]
Images and references exist, but very few of them. Some information can be found on the internet using names of individual trees in the grove.
Discovery of a grove like this does not mean that it has not been seen by people before. The discovery implies that Sillett and Taylor are the first to realize and declare the significance of the grove.
Names of the largest redwoods in the Grove of Titans include: Lost Monarch, El Viejo del Norte, Screaming Titans, Eärendil and Elwing Aragorn, Sacajawea, Aldebaran, Stalagmight and Del Norte Titan.
[edit] Location
The Grove of Titans is in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park of Northern California, south of Highway 199 in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.
Specific directions have not been published, but the location is described as the bottom of a hidden notch-like valley near a grassy glade.
An abundant understory plant is Polystichum munitum known as the Sword Fern.
