Redwood Tree Car Drive Through

I’m a sucker for a good tourist trap. Back in 2017, my car went for a bucket-list adventure, and I wasn’t even there to be part of it! The story went something like this: I loaned my Acura Legend to my trustworthy friend Alex, and he took it on a massive west-coast adventure, initially stopping to attend the 2017 National Acura Legend Meet (NALM) in Sacramento, California, and then proceeding northbound to explore the Pacific Northwest. https://journal.classiccars.com/2026/08/29/you-can-drive-a-car-through-a-redwood-tree-in-california/

The Chandelier Tree in Drive-Thru Tree Park is a 315-foot tall coast redwood tree in Leggett, California with a 6-foot wide by 6-foot-9-inch high hole cut through its base to allow a car to drive through. Its base measures 21 ft in diameter. Wikipedia

Drive Through Tree….I was driving down Highway 101, through the Redwoods of Northern California, and stopped at the Shrine drive through tree. (Was on my way to Oakland to photograph a wedding, August.) Fire create a small opening in the base of the tree, then in the 1930s the opening was expanded to allow cars to drive through. The tree is 17 feet wide and over 2000 years old. #seattlephotographer
