Majestic Oaks Trail is a short hiking trail through dense oak forest. This less-than-a-half-mile-long trail connects with
Fenceline Trail and
Gray Fox Trail and intersects with
River Bend Trail in
Caswell Memorial State Park,
California. Some of the
majestic valley oak trees in the park are said to be more than 60 feet tall and can have a circumference of up to 17 feet. Wild grapevine is taking over the underbrush—and in many places is trying to reach for the higher branchwork as well.
The spreading oak forest canopy is amazing. You are in an oak jungle. To appreciate the size of a single valley oak, see the
broad-crowned oak tree in the
Cosumnes River Preserve, another small Central Valley park, in which old valley oak trees are preserved and new ones are planted to
keep the Valley alive with valley oak.
