Overview

Hype:

First up, and an easy walk, is The Kingdom of Trees Trail - which is dedicated to the majesty of nature and the natural resiliency of the Redwood and other tree species. Extraordinary specimens of Coastal Redwood, Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir are highlighted along the way with informational displays and audio presentations. This area is home to one of the most majestic trees of all, the Cathedral Tree, nine living trees growing as one in a natural cathedral formation. Here you will be overwhelmed by unusual trees adapting in fantastic ways to be among the oldest living things on the planet.

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.
