tourist attempts to drive his Nissan Armada through a drive-thru redwood tree in California
A tourist went viral last week after attempting to drive his Nissan Armada through a drive-thru redwood tree.
The TikTok video was shot along the Avenue of the Giants, a scenic route in Humboldt County that offers excellent views of centuries-old redwood trees. Visitors can stop at the Shrine Drive-Thru Tree in Myers Flat and pay $10 to drive through it, as well as explore tree houses and a walk-through stump. There’s also a bypass for drivers nervous about getting through the tree.
Did the Nissan Armada make it through? Sort of — but it seems the driver celebrated prematurely before realizing they knocked off a mirror. The clip has gathered nearly 5 million views.

in June. We were behind him. I had a devil on my left shoulder saying, "Drive right up behind him so he can't back up!" but my better angel prevailed. I just had to get the shot with his back-up lights on, though.
Leggett's on 101 before Avenue of the Giants. We went through Avenue of the Giants later that day, after visiting the One Log House and, of course, The Legend of Bigfoot.
"Why didn't they make this Drive-Thru Tree big enough for my great big truck!?"
