This nature center sprawls over 4,650 acres in the scenic Santa Cruz Mountains. Its 40-acre redwood grove is the big draw here. And we do mean big. The tallest tree here stretches 277 feet into the Northern California sky. That's higher than a 20-story building!
Away from the monster trees, there is a wide range of hiking options here. Advanced hikers can hit the strenuous Four Crossings trail, perfect for exploration-minded Hipcampers. It'll be just you (and hopefully a map) against the imposing San Lorenzo River Gorge.
