Trees of Mystery and SkyTrail

Trees of Mystery is a pleasant tourist stop with a big Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, a gift store, a Native American Museum, redwood "oddities and examples of developing patterns," and, last but not least, their very good sky tram that takes you up through the redwoods to a lookout. Up top, there are stunning views of the ocean, as well as redwoods and wildlife. You can even take your dog on the tram, as well as the trails and into the buildings (they will lend you a leash).
