This gentle giant stands tall and majestic at the bottom of the Marine Switchback trail. This tree is perfect for hikers with an adventurous spirit; the switchback trail winds down from the Visitors Center and ends below the Founders Memorial. There are lush ferns and abundant nurse logs near this tree and we can often hear the ocean from this section of the forest.
Oceanview Meadow delights and welcomes families with sweeping views of forest, blue water, sand dunes and the Northern California coastline. On a clear day, Cape Mendocino and sparkling water shine. On a foggy day, mist blankets the ocean and the redwoods surrounding the Founders Memorial. Oceanview Meadow features native plant landscape and ample space to gather family together, all within close proximity to the visitors center.
