It's not in Sonoma Valley proper, but a short drive away from the Valley of the Moon is the majestic and accessible redwoods of Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve. The serene, majestic beauty of this Grove is a living reminder of the magnificent primeval redwood forest that covered much of this area before logging operations began during the 19th century. Armstrong Redwoods preserves stately and magnificent Sequoia sempervirens, commonly known as the coast redwood. These trees stand together as a testament to the wonders of the natural world. The grove offers solace from the hustle and bustle of daily life, offering the onlooker great inspiration and a place for quiet reflection. Take a short walk or roll along the gentle path, or tackle a longer hike along the ridges of the park.
