Trees of Mystery is located
about 5 miles north of the town of Klamath, on the Redwood Highway
in Del Norte County, about 70 miles north of Eureka.
A fallen hollow redwood trunk has been arranged to serve as an entrance after you have paid for admission. Inside, the sights include octopus trees, a tree cathedral (formed when a central redwood dies or is cut, and a ring of "suckers" grows around the original), large redwoods, a fern grove and various distorted trees stunted by different natural causes. The Octopus Tree(s) and Trees of Mystery have their own pages, and some other cards dating back to the times when the attraction was known as "Wonderland Redwood Park" and "Big Tree Park" are shown on the Requa page. There are three different Paul Bunyans I see on the cards: 1) Axe at an angle in his outstretched right arm. 2) In his right hand resting on his shoulder. 3) Axe upright on the ground with his left hand resting on it. I'm not certain of the order, but I suspect that I have the sequence right. I would be very happy to hear more from anyone with further information or postcard images! |
