Avenue of the Giants features three (3) trees in Northern
California that visitors can drive through.
The southernmost of these
trees, Chandelier Tree, is located in Drive-Thru Tree Park in the town
of Leggett.
Shrine Drive-Thru Tree is near the town of Myers Flat. (THIS PAGE)
Klamath Tour Thru Tree, the northernmost of the three trees, is located
in the town of Klamath, California.
Each tree is privately owned and
charges $5 or more to drive through. |
|
|
Unlike the others, the cleaved opening
at Shrine Drive Thru Tree was created primarily by nature, not man.
The Shrine tree is closed in the winter.

The two RV Gypsies waited for their turn
to drive through the Shrine tree so Karen Duquette photographed the
car in front of them as it went through the tree. |

the other side of the tree to photograph and video Lee Duquette driving
