Northern California Coast Travel Guide
If only for the towering Redwoods, Northern California is a must-see for any traveler, and yet this region contains much more than its signature “drive-through” trees. At times rugged and fierce, but often sheltered and surf-worthy, this stretch of the country remains mild year-round as evidenced by the herds of Elk grazing roadside pastures. A string of State and National parks make it easy to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace while you snack on smoked salmon and try to decide just how many detours you can fit into each day.
The ultimate extension will take you onto Highway 1 which winds along cliffs past numerous bed and breakfasts, gourmet restaurants and microbreweries. The Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden packs a staggering number of plant collections thanks to its sheltered Mediterranean location, a startling contrast to the windswept pines you will witness at the wild and remote King's Range National Conservation Area. A slower pace of life prevails on the “lost coast,” guaranteed relaxation to last long after you leave.
