Hiking

Some of the non-native trees that are already quite large - I would say coastal firs and sequoias. Exciting...

Hiking

Douglas firs with spruces...but that's right, the Douglas firs aren't native, and the spruces, while native, aren't suited to the site. Both were probably planted because they bring in money.
