Bohemian Grove & the Owl Shrine

The private Bohemian Club retreat in the redwoods along the Russian River. Its emblem is a roughly 40-foot stone owl, the Owl Shrine, that stands by the grove lake and is the backdrop for the club’s summer "Cremation of Care" ceremony. Generations of secrecy have made it a magnet for lore and conspiracy theory. It is strictly PRIVATE property: no public access, no trespassing.
