The Trees of Mystery is an easy-access attraction in Klamath, California along US Highway 101. It is located in between the huge Redwood National State Parks with lots of things to be done and enjoy.
At the entrance is the big statue of Paul Bunyan; - the legendary man from whom the trail of tall tales is devoted to his folklore and his unique adventures reflected in giant redwood carvings done with a chainsaw.
The end of the trail museum is also located on the entrance area which is a native American museum that displays one of the finest private artifact collections in the world. Entrance is free to visit the museum.
Take note: There is a lot of walking if you are thinking of going on the Main Trail which is at least 8 miles. Be sure you have a good plan when it comes to going and coming back (that would be 16 miles of walk total), and the Sky Trail is only until 5pm. This is only if you have a plan of completing the walk along the Main Trail.
If you think you are running out of time to catch the Sky Trail, shuttle service is available between the courtyard at the gift shop and Brotherhood Station. Be sure to ask at the front desk of the gift shop about their shuttle service.
You can either ride the shuttle to and from the Brotherhood station (this is where the embarkation area for Sky Trail is), or ride one way.
If you want to experience gliding through the forest canopy, try the Sky Trail, - a 7-9 minute-ride in an enclosed 6-passenger gondola to Ted's Ridge. You can see gorgeous views here from the observation deck.
The Sky Trail gives you a bird's eye view of the redwoods as you also witness these magnificent tree formations, shapes and sizes. Amazing!!😍
From Ted's Ridge, there is a mile walk going down through the Trees of Mystery where you can see the largest tree on the property called "The Brotherhood Tree." As you continue to explore, you will witness various extraordinary specimens of redwood trees of which are highlighted along the trail with informational displays and audio presentations. You will see the Cathedral tree, - one of the most majestic trees of all, with 9 living trees growing as one in a cathedral formation! In fact, many weddings and Easter services are being held in this area quite often!
