Kids home for MLK Day? Join us for a magical winter forest adventure! We'll visit a 1,700-year-old Redwood giant where bears once scratched their backs, explore mystical fog drifting through bright green moss-covered trees, and count banana slugs by the dozens (we found 50+ last time!). After our hike, we'll refuel at the legendary Alice's Restaurant — a Bay Area icon and perfect way to complete our holiday outing.

What to expect:

🐌🍄🌿 BANANA SLUG BONANZA + WINTER WONDERS! On our last visit, we counted 50+ banana slugs! Plus, discover colorful fungi decorating the trees, vibrant green moss carpeting everything, and misty fog creating that magical winter forest vibe.

🌲🌳🪵 ANCIENT REDWOOD GIANT: We'll visit a 1,700-year-old original-growth Redwood! While most trees were logged in the late 1800s, a few incredible giants remain. Kids can marvel at these towering survivors while parents appreciate the history beneath the canopy.
