AOG Adventure – May 22-25, 2023
The ancient redwoods of coastal northern California are calling your name. With dappled sunlight breaking through the massive trees' canopies over ribbons of twisty asphalt snaking below, you'll be lost in the beauty of the historic "Lost Coast." Named after the 31 mile scenic stretch of the Old Redwood Highway, our Avenue of Giants Adventure will bring you back to nature from the comfort of your car. Feel tiny in comparison as you travel below these throwbacks to a time that existed long before cars.
Headquartered at the modern and comfortable Bear River Casino Resort in Loleta, our three days of driving excursions will include trips down Avenue of the Giants, lunch stops in local towns full of character and personality (and good food), a visit to Trees of Mystery, the Trinity and Bigfoot Scenic Byways, some great photo opps at a drive-thru tree, and the motorcyclist's favorite: Highway 36.
