Hook
California's first state park (1902), regrowing spectacularly after the 2020 fire

The 1900 Sempervirens Club campaign to save these trees launched the redwood preservation movement, and the 2020 CZU fire burned nearly all of it — yet the ancient trees mostly stand, resprouting spectacularly. Day-use reservations required as rebuilding continues; witnessing the recovery is the new reason to come.
