Trees Of Mystery


Trees of Mystery is a roadside attraction in Klamath, California founded in 1931. The "Cathedral Tree", nine trees growing in a semicircle out of one root structure, is sometimes used for outdoor weddings and Easter service.  The Brotherhood Tree is enormous, and is the largest tree on the property, its 297 feet tall and the diameter is 19 feet.  Trees of Mystery are best known for the 49-foot-tall statue of Paul Bunyan and the 35-foot-tall Babe the Blue Ox.  The End of the Trail Museum is a large private collection of Native American art, crafts and tools. In 2001 an aerial tramway was installed called the Sky trail. It takes you to an observation deck where on a good day with no fog (it was foggy) you can enjoy a view of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding forest. I can’t believe I went on it since I’m scared of heights.  Our necks are a little sore from looking up at the trees 2 days in a row, well worth it we didn’t want to miss a thing!  So thankful we’re able to make this trip.
