Grandmother Redwood at Jack London

It's time to hike at Jack London. We'll visit the enormous Grandmother Redwood tree. Stop at Camp Via, hike up the old orchard. The trails will take us through mixed forest, redwood groves, oak woodlands, and grassy meadows. Best for individuals with at least a moderate level of fitness.
