On 8/15, 2020, we went to Big Basin Redwood State Park for a visit. It was a pleasant trip, mighty redwood trees stood there just like before, visitor center, redwood trail, campfire center, etc.
I never thought, a few days later, a massive wildfire swept through California’s oldest state park, causing extensive damages. The visitor center is gone, the Campfire Center is gone. The historic park headquarters is gone, as are many small buildings and campground infrastructure. Many places are unrecognizable.
However, likely, many redwood trees will revive, including "Mother of the forest".
