Imagine this: sunlight dappling through ancient giants as you *drive your car* right through the base of a redwood tree. Sounds unreal, right? Well, it's a real (and uniquely Californian!) experience. This guide gives you the lowdown on experiencing the thrill of driving through a redwood.
While several trees have been carved through over the years, the most famous (and arguably the only one currently legally drivable) is the Shrine Drive-Thru Tree in Myers Flat, California. It's privately owned and charges a small fee, but the photo opportunity is priceless!
Before you go, double-check the tree's current status. Occasionally, weather or maintenance can temporarily close it. Also, *and this is crucial*, be mindful of your vehicle's size. There are height and width restrictions to ensure everyone's safety (and the tree's well-being!). So, buckle up, hit the road, and prepare for a redwood-sized adventure!
