Why you should go…

Open since 1946, Trees of Mystery greets visitors with a towering talking Paul Bunyan statue and Babe the Blue Ox overlooking Highway 101. The SkyTrail gondola carries riders up through the redwood canopy for coastal views, and the grounds include a trail of oddly shaped trees and a well-regarded Native American art museum. It's one of the most recognizable roadside stops on the entire Redwood Coast.
