Northern California's redwood trees are some of the most remarkable sights in the world. A great place to enjoy them is at Trees of Mystery in Klamath. When you arrive, the official hosts, a towering 50 ft. Paul Bunyan and 35 ft. Babe the Blue Ox, will greet you.
One of the most popular attractions is the nearly mile-long, groomed interpretive trail that takes you through the redwoods and allows you to learn the legend of Paul Bunyan. At the end of the trail there is a Native American museum that houses one of the greatest privately-owned collections in the world.
An exciting feature of the Trees of Mystery experience is the nearly 1/3 mile journey through the forest tree tops via the unique SkyTrail gondola ride. A total of 8 Gondola Cars continuously make the approximately 8 to10 minute, 1570 ft. trip up the mountain each day, giving riders not only spectacular views of magnificent redwoods, but a fine mountaintop ocean vista from the observation deck at the summit. There are also several other trails available for exploration.
If you're hungry, head to the Forest Café, which features fine food and remarkable murals. Don't forget to stop by the gift shop and pick up a unique redwood keepsake. Accomodations are available at Motel Trees right across the street. Trees of Mystery is open daily, with hours varying from summer to winter.
