If you visit at a time other than the wildfire season, you should have awesome views from the top observation deck.Īt the top, you have the option of returning via the sky tram or walking back down the mile plus trail, which can be difficult for some due to the steep elevation changes. However, the views for us that day were impacted due to the smoke from the nearby wildfires. It does give you a different perspective of the large redwood trees when you are high up in them.Īfter going through the trees, you can take the sky tram to the top of the property where you get great views of the ocean. However, we saw people of all ages, young and old walking in the tree canopy and bridges.

There is lots of walking required, so if you have trouble walking, some of the trails and tree canopy bridges may be a problem. Once you pay your entrance fee, you are free to follow the trail which leads to the steps and the canopy of the redwood trees, which are linked together by suspension bridges and walkways high up in the trees. There are nice bathrooms and of course, a large gift shop with the usual souvenir trinkets, fudge and ice cream etc. The park has lots of paved parking and you are greeted by Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. 101 at "Last Chance Grade" until the end of August 2021!* It will impact your travel if you are coming from the north or heading north afterwards. *Please be advised of the traffic closure times on Hwy. 101 just south of Crescent City and is in the heart of the Redwoods. old daughter and I visited Trees of Mystery on August 11, 2021.
