These are the biggest trees in the world: the giant redwoods of Northern California. These trees are big enough to drive through. Early Redwood promoters arrived one step ahead of the conservationists, and tunneled through the base of select giants, charging tourists for the privilege of making the twenty foot journey from one side of a tree to the other without having to go around it. Modern environmentalists have made sure that there will be no new drive-thru trees, so the remaining few are tenaciously preserved for exploitation.
Four of these legendary tourist magnets stand near US 101. The Tour-Thru Tree offers a picnic table so that you can eat while watching others join the club you just joined.
Come drive through a tree! Tour Thru Tree is a man-made aperture in a 700-year old tree. Cars, most vans & pick-ups can drive through. This attraction is open year round.
