    Fish Creek Entrance Sign: The iconic sign at the Fish Creek entrance is made from redwood lumber. California redwoods can reach heights of 380 feet, and are in the same family (cypress) as the white cedars so prevalent across the park. The lettering on the sign was meticulously hand-carved by park carpenter Erv Stahl.
