Drive to the top to enjoy the stunning view or park at the base and enjoy a walk to the redwoods then, if you are energetic, continue walking to the top. Our favourite route to top from redwoods is the "goat track" (blue). Don't forget your camera!

Cara Bergerak Ke Kawasan Sekitar

Car strongly recommended.

Best to have car to assess all activities. Bus stop 1km away. We are surrounded by multiple cycleways - mostly flat and many are off road eg along river banks. So bring you bike and carrier (or hire one of ours)
