Glad we didn't have to walk ! Thats a big hill. With ear phones on and a seat on the tram we started up the hill. This time of year the pollen turns your cloths yellow and dust makes your mouth dry.I liked the history lesson .Treehugers will not let them maintain roads , to bad .

Excellent Redwood Grove for us to enjoy. Great place to embrace the natural eye candy surrounding the visitor. A real treat.

The hike is uphill and the elevation is high, so remember and be kind to yourself. But its a slow uphill, and a mild hike. And its absolutely worth it!

This enchanting place truly makes you reflect on nature and mankind and how they interact. Be warned, all the trees are uphill from the car park, but there... More

We only hiked the lower grove due to time constraints but it was beautiful. Early morning or later afternoon bring the best lighting for photos and lack of crowds.
