We stopped at the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument on the way home from seeing the Great Sand Dunes. In addition to many insect and other plant fossils, the monument also has redwood stumps.
Oh my oh my what a stump!
The trio.
Bands holding together the 35 million year old stumps.
The BIG stump.
A little stump in the ground.
These three trunks are one tree.

Another view of the Big Stump.
The top of a stump still buried.
A stump barely out of the ground.
Heading up some very loose, scrambly, steep trail. There were some big stair steps that were close to the limit of my little stock truck but we still made it up and over even in the driving rain.
