The reserve is named after the nearby Montgomery family, early settlers in the area. This reserve features towering trees, some of the tallest living things on Earth, creating a tranquil atmosphere that attracts nature enthusiasts and hikers. Visitors can explore a loop trail that begins with a steep climb and winds through the lush forest, providing an opportunity to experience the redwood ecosystem.
