Hike
Mahan Plaque Trail, California
View Original Description
The Mahan Plaque Trail is another scenic nature walk along Avenue of the Giants that goes through a grove of towering redwoods.
The Mahan Plaque is a memorial for Laura Perrott Mahan (1867-1937) and James P. Mahan (1867-1937). Mr. and Mrs. Mahan discovered that logging had begun and led the movement that resulted in the saving of this grove.
There is a side trip to Dyerville Giant, a 362-foot redwood that fell in 1991.
It can be reached from Avenue of the Giants (State Highway 254) 0.2 miles south of Dyerville Loop Road.
