Trees of Mystery, Forest attraction in Del Norte County, California.

Trees of Mystery is a park along U.S. Route 101 near Klamath, California, with interpretive trails through coastal redwoods and unusual tree formations such as the Cathedral Tree and Brotherhood Tree. Its Trail of Tall Tales holds about 50 chainsaw carvings of logger Paul Bunyan and his crew. A 49-foot Bunyan and 35-foot Babe the Blue Ox stand by the road, built of wooden beams, chicken wire and stucco.

The attraction dates to 1946, when the first Paul Bunyan statue was built; it was destroyed by rain that winter. The current Babe the Blue Ox was built in 1950 and the current Bunyan in 1961, largely of wooden beams, chicken wire and stucco. In late 2007 Babe's half-ton, 9-foot-wide head fell from rain damage and was replaced. The Skytrail tramway was installed in 2001.

The entrance presents a 49-foot figure of lumberjack Paul Bunyan alongside his blue ox Babe, both drawn from American folklore. Chainsaw-carved figures line the trails, depicting scenes from old logging tales.

The gondola system carries visitors above the treetops to a platform with views of the coast and inland areas. Ground-level trails are mostly flat and suitable for families with children.

One tree called the Cathedral Tree consists of nine trunks growing from a shared root in a semicircle. The Brotherhood Tree measures nearly 6 meters (19 feet) across and ranks among the thickest specimens in the area.
