The Bay Area is filled with natural wonders from its coastal redwoods, to its mountains, to its scenic views. One of those wonders has been drawing visitors for more than 150 years and as Joe Rosato Jr. reports, it’s ready to change hands.
“Over the years we’ve been, “Conway said, “I think, very good stewards of this property and preserving it.”
Scientists theorize the stands of redwood, pine and oak trees were covered in ash during volcanic activity centered around what’s now Mount St. Helena some 3.4 million years ago. The ash and waters deposited minerals onto the bark, creating three-dimensional stone tree fossils. On a recent day, visitors strolled the paths meandering through the forest -- the living and stone versions — walking past a sweeping view of Mount St. Helena, and up to a sloping hillside covered in the kind of ash responsible for the transformation of the trees.
