Description
Long-running attraction featuring a 315-ft. redwood with a large opening for cars to drive through.
In January 2017 the Pioneer Cabin Tree in Calaveras Big Trees State Park, Arnold, California succumbed to bad weather. Many confuse that iconic tree with the Chandelier Drive-Thru Tree in Leggett, CA.
We welcome you to visit the Chandelier Drive-Thru Tree which is still alive and growing. While most vehicles are able to drive through the opening there is a bypass into the parking lot should your vehicle be too large. Be sure to take pictures whether you walk or drive through the opening.

It is not the only drive-through tree in the area. Pick whichever one you are near, I think. (There is another one near the south side of Redwood State Park on Avenue of the Giants, and it costs $15 per car)
This venue costs $20 per car. It is a very tight fit for the car!! The entry person will let you know if your car will not fit.
The tree was obviously carved for a Model T.
You get a $1 coupon for the store which btw is the price of a water there.
It was a good place to stop and neat to see this and other trees. I think seeing one drive-through tree is enough though.
This would be an especially good place to visit if you have people in the car who can’t walk much. You see a lot from the car. It’s a pleasant short drive through the redwoods, and then you can walk through the tree and have a restroom break
Driving through the Avenue of the Giants, which is a road that parallels hwy 101 and the Eel River, and runs through the State Redwood Park, is a free way to get a similar experience. You will not drive through a tree, but you will drive through the forest and can easily stop at many places and walk as much or as little as you like.

A unique experience, driving through a tree. Lovely grounds and redwoods to walk through and good value for money as you only pay for the car rather than the number of people in it. Measure your car before going. It can be pretty tight especially if you’re driving an SUV. $20 well spent.

If you are on a road trip and need a break this is a great stop. It’s 30.00 per vehicle and there is a nice area to walk around. It’s like a park with a pond, obviously the tree and wooden sculptures. I had my dog with me so it was a great place to stop and get out of the car.

I visited the Chandelier Drive-Thru Tree last weekend, and it was definitely worth the stop. Driving through a living redwood tree is such a unique experience and something you don’t get to do every day. The tree itself is impressive, and the surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful.
There are also plenty of opportunities to take photos and enjoy the majestic redwoods. The attraction is well maintained, easy to access, and makes for a fun stop on a road trip through Northern California. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning years later, it’s a memorable experience that’s worth checking out.

This place was great! We came to the tree with our 39ft rv (not thru the tree with the rv) the lady at the gate was friendly and told us the best route to go with our rv. This place was great, had a nice pond with a lot of wildlife and a cool little gift shop. My kids loved all the fun tree carvings and climbing in all the huge trees! Definitely worth a stop!
