Overview

Hype:

A little further up the hillside and still a moderately easy walk, is yet another informative and in-depth part of our trail system. The Forest Experience Trail contains many interpretive signs with little known redwood facts, as well as the largest tree on the property, the Brotherhood Tree. Also along the trail is the Towering Inferno, a tree that was struck by lightning in 1996 and thereafter was consumed from the inside by fire. Picnic tables and restrooms are located at the beginning of this trail, and Brotherhood Station, the SkyTrail embarkation point, is also accessible from this trail.

Story

We took the Kingdom of Trees trail up to the tram. We took the Forest Experience Trail on the way. Then we took the Sky Trail (gondola ride) up to the lookout. Everyone else rode the Sky Trail back down, and I ran down the Wilderness Trail. It took me right around 8 minutes, and the others only beat me down by less than a minute. From the bottom of the Gondola, we walked down the Trail of Tall Tails and admired all the chainsaw statues. Then we stopped at the End of the Trail Museum and gift shop and got a souvenir magnet.
