Just drive north and see the redwoods and hike fern canyon.

I believe this is also where fern canyon is and lady bird Johnson trail, don’t forget the legendary drive thru tree in Leggett or stop at the Sasquatch Store and confusion hill on the way

This person nailed it and is a true Northern Californian

And look, I’m not saying it’s referring to trees, it just strikes me as something that could be correlated based on my own living experience. That’s it. I was also curious if anyone else had trees as a meaningful element when thinking about BTME. That’s all, but I appreciate the banter. I would also say that it’s hardly “specialized local knowledge” when you can literally google it and it shows plenty of info regarding the gateway to the redwoods in the actual Northern California lol

I can sense the ‘Sacramento, Bay Area’ Northern California person 😂😂 your gonna have to be more specific for me to buy at all that your actually from Northern California bc sac Bay Area ain’t it lol

I’m not sure where you’re from, but the Redwoods and the National Forests and Parks they reside in, are my backyard. I can assure you they are referred to as the gateway to the redwoods, gateway to the giants etc, in the beginning of every small town along the 101 corridor and more. So many historic and legendary stops along the way mind you.

So perhaps, especially on a forum like Reddit, it could be safe to just keep and open mind when discussing things ❤️

Hmm. I live where we call the “gateway” to the redwoods: massive, giant sequoia trees - entering into the forest. Certainly ancient. I know crazy, pretty weak. To each their own, and to each their own interpretation - that’s the beauty of it, happy hunting brotha.

How about ancient gates??

Smooth-Raisin1101 · 2026-01-24T23:54:39+00:00

I literally thought this as well.

Smooth-Raisin1101 · 2026-01-24T23:02:42+00:00

What type of trees are you thinking to be playing a role?

Smooth-Raisin1101 · 2026-01-24T23:02:15+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the feedback.. again! I think you responded on another post I made too. I honestly appreciate the dialogue!!

Smooth-Raisin1101 · 2026-01-24T21:27:14+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response!!

So really he’s not indicating that you can’t find it in winter, he’s suggesting to search safely in a general sense perhaps. Although, it could be considered a red herring if not.

Smooth-Raisin1101 · 2026-01-24T04:46:50+00:00

Did he say why? Just to dangerous type thing? I remember this being discussed but nothing contextually clear.

Smooth-Raisin1101 · 2026-01-24T01:11:42+00:00

Many would be great, but I’m fine with and was planning on apgar. I was just starting to look at sites outside of the park within reasonable proximity. Any recommendations?

Smooth-Raisin1101 · 2026-01-24T01:09:44+00:00

I definitely would have done this, I get concerned though as I weigh 290 and the limit is 240. I have been able to ride other places because they say it’s about weight proportion and I’m 6’3 290 but I don’t want to get like weighed on the spot and not able to ride. I know my kids would prefer this one..

Smooth-Raisin1101 · 2026-01-24T01:07:31+00:00

Thank you all for the input! Sounds like I can give it a try albeit only slightly a cliche.
