All ages are welcome to join us, as we soak up some of the best of the Healdsburg region. We’ll meet in the parking lot at the park entrance (rather than within the park, where there is a second lot), in order to experience the walk in at 1:45 PM. From there, we’ll follow the Pioneer Nature Trail, which includes all of the main park features. The park is ~30 min from Hotel Trio. Trails are stroller-friendly and our plan consists of 1.7 miles of hiking.
Park Features:
The Tallest Tree
The Parson Jones Tree, measuring more than 310 feet in height. This is longer than the length of a football field.
The Oldest Tree
The Colonel Armstrong Tree is the oldest tree in the grove, estimated to be over 1,400 years old.
The Icicle Tree
This tree shows the unusual burl formations often found on redwood trees. Burls can weigh many tons and grow hundreds of feet above the forest floor. Why these growths occur remains a mystery.
The Discovery Trail
This trail offers several Braille interpretive panels and a tree hugging platform.
