Interesting stop between SF and Calistoga
The petrified redwoods were impressive, I kept getting the feeling it was part of an elaborate practical joke of casting so many realistic trees in cement. Interesting bit of geo-history and a fun...
Awesome
This was a beautiful place to visit. Easy to walk. Staff was extremely friendly and full of knowledge. Trails are very easy to walk and want packed. You walk at your own pace and there are benches...
Good value tour.
