Mailliard Redwoods State Reserve

This park, in the hills three miles south of Highway 128, doesn't have any trails. The road passes through an old-growth grove with some mid-sized redwoods in an upland canyon. The sole facility is a single picnic bench by the side of the road. The grove has a dense understory of tanoak. It's not particularly impressive but it does give you some idea of what these hills might have looked like before logging.
