The Trees of Mystery

Trees of Mystery was awesome! We thought it looked kinda cheesy but the hike through the trees is amazing and the views at the top of the Sky Trail were beautiful.

Our 3 and 5 year old loved this! The giant Paul Bunyan talks to you (I couldn't see where anyone was hidden, so even I thought it was fun). The trees aren't all that mysterious, but the walk through the trees was really nice. Some uphill but it's short and accessible. You can also take a shuttle to and from the skytram. The skytram was really great as well. A nice stop if you're headed up the 101, and accessible to RV's.

My family and I had so much fun here, lots of photo ops and it also has a lot of cool wood sculptures. It also takes you through the story of Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox. Worth the stop!

Worth the stop! only 15 bucks for adults. Have option of hiking to top or an easy walk to thr tram. So much bang for your buck.

It's easy to write this place off as kitsch, what with the Paul Bunyan outside, but the admission fee gets you multiple hikes, an aerial tramway ride, a museum, and maybe some other stuff. The hikes are genuinely pleasant and you get to learn and see quite a bit. And yes, it's still got hints of classic roadside kitsch-- but a good amount.

There were definitely some pretty trees on the hike. But for the price ($80 for our family) I expected the hike, esp the gondola, to be a little more exciting and interesting. We did other redwoods hikes on our trip for free that were much better. (Humboldt campground for instance)

Never thought I would say this, but we loved it. My 13 yo kept asking to stop and it became our primary destination on the North Coast. The place is straight out of a 50's road trip. Very "retro cool" according to the teenage travel agent.

We really enjoyed our stop here! The Paul Bunyan and Blue the Ox giant statues out front are a fun, free photo op. I went with my friend and took the sky trail to the top - for us, it was worth it. Huge redwoods, great misty view as you ascend, and a decent area up top to walk around. Includes a hike with awesome logging art that had human figures and northwest wild life. Many of the plants and trees are labeled so it was pretty informative. The gift shop was awesome, too! We like vintage type items usually, I guess classic style - and they had great mugs and other goodies we liked. We were on a road trip down to Arcata from Portland and were glad we stopped here.

Definitely worth the stop. It cost about $40 for my three kids and I to take the tour. There are some really cool trees, giant wood carvings, a gondola ride and a very nice Indian museum. Very clean and well worth our time!

It's worth a stop but don't expect to be wowed. There is not much else to do in the immediate area anyway. I imagine it was pretty cool in its heyday - like one of the other reviewers said, it's retro cool.
