Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve
Montgomery Woods
Old-growth redwoods tucked deep in a valley. The Mendocino Tree once held the record as the world's tallest, and the area is quiet and uncrowded.
An loop trail of about 3 km passes through old coast redwoods in a creek valley, with well-built boardwalks. In the 1990s, the Mendocino Tree here was measured as the tallest tree in the world. There are no facilities, and entry is free. From Mendocino, take Comptche-Ukiah Road. The mountain road is narrow and winding, and the drive takes about 1.5 hours.
