Photograph of Redwood trees at Big Basin State Park, showing two men near a sign for the Redwood Inn, 1930-1940. Multiple Redwood trees are visible at center growing in a clump next to one another. A sign reading, "Redwood Inn" is affixed to the trunk of a tree at center, while two other signs can be seen below the first sign. A man wearing a suit and hat can be seen leaning against the left side of the tree, while a second man is visible leaning against the front of another tree at left. Four wooden posts can be seen emerging from the ground in a line at right, while one-story buildings are visible obscured by the Redwoods. A dirt road is visible in the foreground.
