There are spots inside Big Basin Redwoods state park that appear to be frozen in time.
Roughly 10 months after the CSU Complex fire burned 97% of Californiaâs oldest park, some trees still smoke and smolder. An open champagne bottle sits untouched atop a scorched picnic table alongside cooking utensils that are melted and singed together. Contents from a toppled cooler, left agape, have begun to blend into the forest duff. The skeletons of burnt cars and trucks are still parked in front of once-iconic headquarters, now reduced to rubble.
But, amidst the wreckage, there are also signs of rebirth. Wildflowers are growing over charred debris. Blackened trees have sprung vibrant green sprouts. Birdsongs and hammering woodpeckers accent the hum of state-run construction crews working to ready the beloved park for a new chapter in its history.

During last summer’s CZU Lightning Complex fires, nearly 97% of Big Basin Redwoods State Park in Northern California burned.
The blaze turned the park’s cathedral-like redwoods black, and knocked out critical infrastructure. Some species were completely wiped out, including the Douglas Fir.
The sheer breadth of the devastation forced park officials to take a hard look at what the future of the park might be, and when or if it will reopen.
Adrienne Dunfee, a deputy manager at the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, says the answer is yes, but “it’s likely that landscapes may never look quite like they did before.”
