While in California we visited Redwood forest which has trees over 500 ft tall standing on 70-80 ft trunks. Some of the pictures shot on the way to this unique forest. The forest is sited near the Saratoga village.
This is a fire station sited near the Saratoga village. I doubt even if big cities in India have such an impressive looking fire station.
Like I mentioned earlier, Saratoga and most other villages have infrastructure comparable to any city. Perhaps better than some tier-2 and tier-3 cities in India. I wonder when our country will grow and prosper like this.
After Saratoga village the road passes through beautiful forests and mountains. The narrow roads, steep gradient and sharp turns reminded me of Indian hill stations which have similar road infrastructure. The beauty of this stretch is that the tall trees effectively prevent suns rays from touching the road.
