Trip notes: Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve contains a primeval forest that was saved from lumber harvesting in the 1870s by Colonel James Armstrong. A quiet road leads through the 500-acre grove. Short trails lead to two trees, each over 300 feet tall. The park also is home to gray foxes, bobcats, wood ducks and the 1,400-year old Colonel Armstrong Tree. The park is popular with hikers and equestrians. Austin Creek State Recreation Area is adjacent to the park.
