When in Sonoma County and looking to do more than wine tasting this is an excellent option. The redwoods are very majestic and the hiking trails are easy to use and friendly for all skill levels. The town of Guerneville is a good place to visit afterwards.

My husband and I were on a wine-tasting trip in Napa, and wanted to see the redwoods. This reserve is beautiful and incredibly peaceful. Well worth a visit if you're in the area!

My wife and I were on a road trip up the coast and I just had to return to my old play area. It has been about 45 years since I came here as one of those loud kids running all over the park. I had to laugh as annoying kids ran by me as I was once one of... More

Nature. It was quiet, beautiful and easy to navigate. It is quite the landmark and a must see if you are in the area. The parking was free and it is free to walk in. If you drive in (not really essential) it is $8.00 a car, still worth it.

Even though you can see trees anywhere this is an experience that you need to have. Beautiful, peaceful, and overwhelming. Anyone that is near this wonder should stop and take it in and be glad that it has been saved for us.

This was a perfect park to take a fairly short hike among the redwoods. There are several very old trees here (1300 and 1400 years old). There were not many tourists despite the holiday weekend. We highly recommend this park as a very accessible and lovely spot to be among some of the most magnificent trees!

My husband and I stopped here on our way through Guerneville to Korbel. You can park for free and just walk in. We did a 2 mile loop - the trail is marked and cleared off but there are shorter options as well. We saw the oldest tree and the tallest. The park itself is so peaceful and beautiful with... More

On Memorial Day weekend, it was warm and sunny, less Monday. Sat was spent taking the trail less frequented by strollers, screaming children, nor barking dogs. After all we are in the woods. The woods are suppose to envelope you with its majesty and quiet. The steep trail, with the occasional fellow walkers and hikers suited the bill. Once you... More

A friend who lives nearby suggested my first redwood experience be Armstrong, as it was a holiday weekend and she expected Muir to be packed. I'm so glad she did! It was a bit overcast and later started to rain (which we were generally shielded from thanks to the large canopy) which might have kept some people away but we... More
