Welcome to Humboldt County

H
umboldt County is a haven for travelers and residents alike. It features 160 miles of unspoiled coastline, hundreds of thousands of acres of coastal redwood trees, wild rivers, bustling seaports, quaint farming communities and fascinating historical areas. Travelers will nd exceptional accommodations, ne restaurants, wonderful shops and numerous campgrounds in Humboldt County. Explore the areas rocky coastlines, warm inland communities and major rivers while taking advantage of the local businesses. The county is situated on the Northern California coast, 90 miles south of the Oregon border, and its largest towns are adjacent to Hwy 101. Eureka, the county Trinidad, photo by Steve Hammons seat, is approximately 283 miles north of San Francisco and 335 miles south of Portland, Oregon. In southern Humboldt, Hwy 101 is lined by some of the rst redwoods spotted by northbound travelers. Richardson Grove State Park is a magnicent 2,000 acres of redwoods, located nine miles south of the town of Garberville. The state acquired the area in the early 1920s, making it one of the oldest state parks in California. A jaunt down smaller side roads that exit Hwy 101 will lead travelers to the King Range National Conservation Area and Humboldt Countys Lost Coast. This adventure leads to hamlets such as Hidden Valley and Whitethorn, and ultimately ends at the town of Shelter Cove. Further north on Hwy 101 after leaving the towns of Garberville and Redway is the Avenue of the Giants, a 31-mile stretch of two-lane road, dotted with small unique towns, that winds through stands of huge redwoods along the Eel River. Humboldt Redwoods State Park is located along the Avenue and covers more than 52,000 acres. After leaving the Avenue of the Giants, the traveler will once again be on Hwy 101 and will pass the town of Scotia, located on a striking wooded hillside overlooking a giant bend in the Eel River. Further north is the sunny inland town of continued on page 8

Fortuna, known as the jewel of the Eel River Valley. Friendly Fortuna has developed tremendous accommodations for tourists in recent years, including several hotels along the Eel River and an attractive community center. East of Fortuna, along State Hwy 36, is Grizzly Creek State Park, a favorite for hiking, camping and summer sun. The Victorian Village of Ferndale is just northwest of Fortuna and 16 miles south of Eureka. The entire town has been named a State Historical Landmark because of its strong preservation policies of commercial buildings and residences. Eureka contains more ne examples for Victorian architecture, particularly in the Old Town section along the citys waterfront. Old Town is home to the extravagantly ornate Carson Mansion, one of the most photographed buildings in California. Eurekas population of nearly 28,000 makes it the largest coastal city between San Francisco and the Oregon border. Eureka has a multitude of excellent restaurants, cafes, specialty shops and lodging facilities. The city is also known for its large and active arts community. In fact, Humboldt County has the distinction of having more artists per capita than any other of the states 58 counties. Eureka is a busy seaport with a large shing eet. A variety of activities can be found in and around the waters of Humboldt Bay, including kayaking, shing and even spotting a harbor seal or two. There are harbor tours aboard the M.V. Madaket, and the Woodley Island Marina is a great spot to enjoy a panoramic view of the waterfront. Seven miles north of Eureka is Arcata, home to Humboldt State University. Arcata is also known for its unique marsh and wildlife area that serves as a natural sewage treatment ltration system. East of Arcata, along Hwy 299 and Hwy 96 are sunny Willow Creek and Hoopa, known for recreation along the Trinity and Klamath Rivers and their tributaries. Back along Hwy 101 the town of McKinleyville serves as the home of the Arcata-Eureka Airport, the countys only commercial airport. In northern Humboldt County are the coastal jewels of Trinidad, which overlooks a beautiful sheltered harbor, and Orick, the gateway to Redwood National Park.

here is no doubt about the dierence in lifestyle when compared to other California locales. Humboldt County continues to be a popular relocation choice; people seem to visit for a couple of days and end up coming back to live permanently. Whether for retirement, recreation opportunities or just a dierent environment, most people settle here for a better quality of life. The county oers abundant natural beauty, mild weather, friendly towns and a minimum of trac, crime and pollution. Due to its varied terrain, nding the right spot to settle in Humboldt County can take some study. Local real estate agents divide the county into six regions, which include South County, Mid County, South Bay, North Bay, Northwest County and Northeast County. Each has its own distinct personality and attributes. Southern Humboldt, also referred to as South County, is a rural, mountainous area blessed with clean air, a warm, sunny climate, towering redwoods, lush state parks, wilderness areas and rugged coastline. Most of its small communities are along Hwy 101 and the Avenue of the Giants, a scenic drive in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. To the north is Mid County. The area is still mostly rural, but also includes the vibrant community of Fortuna and the nearby Victorian Village of Ferndale. Fortuna is generally sunnier than nearby Eureka or Ferndale, both of which experience coastal fog. The entire town of Ferndale is a National Historic Landmark and will appeal to those who love Victorian buildings, pastoral countryside and small village ambiance. The South Bay section of the county is named for its proximity to Humboldt Bay and includes the most populous city, Eureka. With a population of over 28,000, Eureka has a wide spectrum of housing stock from modest bungalows to ornate refurbished Victorian mansions. Local real estate agents can describe the dozens of individual neighborhoods, school districts and microclimates of Eureka. The college town of Arcata is in the North Bay region of the county along with McKinleyville, the countys fastest growing community. Arcata has historically had consistently higher real estate prices than the rest of the county due primarily to Humboldt State University; however, in recent years McKinleyvilles home values have been on par with Arcatas. With HSUs enrollment of about 8,000 students, rental properties are rarely vacant. Furthermore, geographical restrictions leave little room for new housing in the attractive city. Arcata has a unique wildlife sanctuary on the bay as well as a central plaza that hosts numerous annual celebrations. McKinleyville, just seven miles north of Arcata, does have room to expand and it is here that one nds the largest numbers of new homes in the county. Just east of McKinleyville is Fieldbrook, where most homes are on large lots or acreage. Blue Lake is a small hamlet along the Mad River just out of the coastal fog belt east of Arcata that is gaining popularity among home buyers. The North West County area is unique for the tiny harbor village of Trinidad. Despite being one of Californias smallest incorporated cities with a population under 400, some of the countys most expensive properties are found here in stunning custom coastal homes. Adding to the value of homes here is the close proximity to many parks and beaches. North East County is a vast rural region that includes the Trinity and Klamath rivers, the Trinity Alps and the Hoopa Indian Reservation. It is a great area for shermen, boaters and nature enthusiasts. Summer temperatures can reach the low 100s and winters can be wet and stormy. The town of Willow Creek is situated along Hwy 299 and the town of Orleans is along Hwy 96. The most active months for home sales are July through September. Humboldt County has always given consumers more bang for their buck compared to Southern California or the San Francisco Bay Area. For those who prefer to rent, the rental market is relatively tight, and nice properties are not on the market long. Generally, more rural, country homes tend to command a higher price here. Commercial real estate is an attractive option for some due to the areas lower prices. Some people interested in a lifestyle change move to the area and rather than look for a job, consider buying an existing business.

Domicile, habitat, home its where your heart is or isnt. In the case of the One-Log House, the heartwood of a 2,100 year old redwood was hewn out by hand to make a complete home with all the amenities. Although the timeline for this tree starts around the same time as the birth of Christ, its modern timeline starts with its cutting in 1946. The log for the One-Log House was cut down by Art Schmock and his son. At that time, the tree was on property owned by Georgia Pacic Co. of Eureka. This particular log was cut, rolled onto a trailer, and metal straps were welded around it for support. It was then transported to Eureka where it was hollowed out by hand, using tools such as drills, chisels, wedges and foot adzes. The log itself is 32 feet long, 10-11 feet in diameter and has an interior height slightly over 6 feet. The inside is divided into kitchen, bathroom, living and bedroom areas. In the 8-month process of hollowing the log, enough wood chips were produced to build a traditional ve-bedroom home. The One-Log House has traveled the western United States and stayed at various places in Humboldt and MenOneLogHouse.com docino Counties for the past 53 years. For more than 11 years now, One-Log House Espresso & Gifts has sat near Richardson Grove State Park on Hwy 101, serving food and organic, locally roasted espresso. Visitors can go inside the house itself, and also enjoy the gift shop with espresso bar, which includes shakes, smoothies, frappes and other refreshments. In addition to expertise in espresso, a clean and polished environment and a helpful staff, there is also an on-site burl factory where many beautiful, unique redwood gifts are created and then sold in the gift shop. Outdoor picnicking areas are available as well as air conditioned seating inside, fun antique logging photos to look at, a souvenir penny-smashing machine, and clean handicap accessibility for all customers.

REDWAY
Shelter Cove & The Lost Coast
n the 1920s, when they built the Coast Highway in northern California, engineers decided a stretch of coast from northern Mendocino County through the King Range in Humboldt County was too rugged for a road. Thus, this expanse of magnicent coastline was soon isolated and became known as the Lost Coast. The small community of Shelter Cove, on the coast in southern Humboldt County just below the King Range, lies at the core of the Lost Coast. Being cut off from the rest of California has helped Shelter Cove become a peaceful seaside resort with peerless scenery that is nirvana for outdoor enthusiasts. A relatively at point set amidst a long stretch of sheer ocean cliffs, Shelter Cove gets its name from a gulf formed by Point Delgada to the south. The drive a winding 23 miles from Redway is well worth it for those who like to sh, crab, dive for abalone or watch for whales. Photographers, hikers and nature lovers will have plenty to do as well. The thick redwood forests surrounding the village are home to bald eagles, Roosevelt elk, black tail deer... and if you believe the legend, Bigfoot. The rocky shoreline makes Shelter Cove a refuge for seals and sea lions, and it boasts some of the worlds richest tide pools. There are picnic areas that offer access to the beach or the rocks below the bluffs.

Black Sands Beach to the north is deserted and picturesque, with stunning views of the King Range. There are numerous campgrounds in the wilderness near Shelter Cove, plus a major trailhead that leads into the King Range. Hikers who want to trek the 25-mile long Lost Coast Trail can start their journey here. For much of the Lost Coast, the mountains dive directly into the sea, a geographic barrier to development that has left much of this region in its original rugged and wild state. Shelter Cove features amenities for the traveler such as a campground and RV park, several inns and motels, restaurants, a cocktail lounge, a coffeehouse, markets and a daylight air landing strip.

The King Range National Conservation Area, established in 1970 as the nations rst National Conservation Area, is an extremely special place for nature- and wildlife-lovers. One of the largest natural habitats in America, the area encompasses 68,000 acres, with many different habitats in the area surrounding Shelter Cove. Roosevelt elk, deer, whales, skunks, raccoons, egrets, marbled murrelets and bald eagles are among Bureau of Land Management, BLM.gov the 300 species inhabiting the area. Mountain lions, black bears, coyotes and rattlesnakes also make their home here. Harbor Seals & Sea Lions- Pinnipeds are large carnivorous marine mammals. Two species are common sights at Shelter Cove: harbor seals and California sea lions. These playful creatures love to sun themselves on the rocks below the bluffs at Shelter Cove during low tide. The largest congregation is usually found at Point Delgado, but seals can also easily be spotted up the coast to Seal Rock. Whale Watching- Each year the Humboldt County coast witnesses gray whales making a mammoth 12,400 mile round-trip migration between their southern breeding ground off Baja California, Mexico and the northern feeding grounds off Alaska and the Beaufort Sea. In early April through May the return migration north to Alaska is in full swing, with females and their calves swimming close to shore, the calves nearest to the coast, sometimes just beyond the surf line, as they seek to evade predators. While gray whales are the main attraction at Shelter Cove, occasionally humped-back or blue whales are spotted as well. Birdwatching- Visitors wishing to record birds while visiting the King Range National Conservation Area are encouraged to participate in gathering information to help rene knowledge of bird life in this beautiful area. The area boasts about 300 different species of birds. Please send information to Bureau of Land Management, King Range Project Ofce, 768 Shelter Cove Rd., Whitethorn CA 95589.

Shelter Cove is one of Californias premiere ocean shing destinations. Fishermen come for the salmon, which are found close to the shore here May through August. Anglers can also catch an abundance of ling cod, rock cod, halibut, albacore and surf perch, and can sh from shore for perch or rock sh. Fishermen can also launch a boat from the cove, which Point Delgada protects from the northwesterly winds. Visitors can buy shing licenses at Shelter Cove stores or charter a boat from a sport shing business for a guided angling adventure. On calm days, abalone diving is also an option. A great way to make sure that you have the perfect shing experience is to let one of Humboldt Countys expert shing guide services outt and plan your excursion. These professional captains and guides will lead you to the best spots during the right season and help you catch the monsters youre after.

The King Range National Conservation Area is unlike any other place in the continental United States. Here, in this 35-mile long, 68,000-acre stretch of coastal wilderness, the mountains rise directly out of the sea. King Peak tops out at 4,088 ft., and is only 3 miles from the ocean. The Conservation Area extends between the Mattole River in Humboldt County to the northern border of the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park in Mendocino County. Because of its remoteness and relative inaccessibilityonly a few back roads lead into the rangethis Douglas-r-clad wilderness attracts hikers, backpackers, campers, equestrians, mushroom collectors, surfers, anglers, beachcombers and abalone divers. Seals, sea lions and a multitude of sea birds inhabit the rocky shorephoto by Steve Hammons line; tide pools and kelp beds are their homes. California gray whales pass close to shore during the spring northern migration. Streams that pour down from the mountains are spawning waters for salmon and trout. A small herd of Roosevelt elk roams the area, and some 300 species of migratory birds have been found in the King Range, including the northern spotted owl, bald eagle and Coopers hawk. Black bear and mountain lions also prowl these mountains and the shoreline. The King Range became the nations rst National Conservation Area in October 1970, and is managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management. The BLM maintains miles of trails in the Conservation Area, most of which intersect the legendary Lost Coast Trail. The trail runs 25 miles along the shore at the base of the mountains from the mouth of the Mattole to Shelter Cove. There is a wide selection of automobile and backcountry campgrounds in and around the Conservation Area. Accessing the King Range can be an adventure in itself. Hikers can take the Lost Coast Trail north out of the village of Shelter Cove. Unpaved back roads, most suitable for 4-wheel drive vehicles with high ground clearance, intersect Shelter Cove Rd. on the south, and Wilder Ridge Rd. on the east. On the north end of the range, access is near the mouth of the Mattole River on Lighthouse Rd., off Mattole Rd. Most of the Coastal Trail is well-marked, but it is recommended that any hikers who are not familiar with the trail to bring a map of the area and a tide table along. WHERE: To get to Shelter Cove, take the Hwy 101 exit to Redway/Garberville and follow the signs to Redway. In Redway, turn west on Briceland Rd. and go 14 miles to Shelter Cove Rd. Turn right on Shelter Cove Rd. and follow the signs to Black Sands Beach.

In 1999, a large helicopter lifted the lantern off the historic, but badly deteriorated, Cape Mendocino Lighthouse and ew it 35 miles to the resort village of Shelter Cove. The rest of the lighthouse, disassembled at the site, soon followed by truck. Within a year the Cape Mendocino Lighthouse Preservation Society had restored, painted and tted new glass into this 139-year-old sailors beacon. It now sits at Mal Coombs Park at the tip of Point Delgada. The Cape Mendocino Lighthouse has a rich history as a signal of warning in some of the Pacic Coasts most treacherous waters. Cape Mendocino is Californias photo by Steve Hammons westernmost point. The rst ship carrying supplies to build the lighthouse struck a rock on its journey and ran aground in 1867. When a steamer nally landed safely at the capes headland, the parts of the lighthouse were hauled up steep cliffs to a base 422 feet above the ocean. When the 43-foot tall tower was completed in 1868, it became one of the highest lighthouses in the nation. The last piece, the delicate Fresnel lens, was steamed to Eureka then transported by horse and wagon to the point. The lighthouse began ashing its white signal once every 30 seconds on Dec. 1, 1868. The lighthouse was so remote it had to be serviced by sea in the early years. One lighthouse inspector drowned in 1881 trying to reach it. During more than 80 years of service, violent storms and frequent earthquakes took their toll on the lighthouse. The Coast Guard decommissioned it in 1951, and by the late 1990s the lighthouse was ready to crumble into the sea. Today, the lighthouse is open for tours, when docents are available, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Memorial Day through Labor Day. MORE INFO: LighthouseFriends.com/light.asp?ID=25

Cape Mendocino Lighthouse at Shelter Cove
If there was an Alcatraz of lighthouses in the early 1900s, the Punta Gorda light station was reputed to be it. Isolated and as lonely as a frontier settlement, it was the perfect place to station ill-behaved employees. Winter months were spent virtually in solitary connement. Flooded streams and harsh, windy conditions kept the site cut off from civilization. Even during the pleasant summer months, the lighthouse keeper had to travel 11 miles on horseback to shop for fresh supplies in the small town of Petrolia. The site was originally sanctioned as a fog station in 1888. It was not until 1912 that the Punta Gorda (Spanish for fat point) lighthouse was approved by Congress, and only after 10 ships and countless seamen met their fate near the point. The ashing light in the small 27-foot-tall tower was in service for 39 years until 1951 when the Coast Guard decided the remote site was too expensive to maintain. The buildings were boarded Bureau of Land Management, BLM.gov up and a lighted buoy was placed offshore. Now controlled by the Bureau of Land Management, the only structures remaining are the concrete lighthouse and the oil house, both of which were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The lighthouse site is a 3-mile, strenuous hike along the Lost Coast Trail, which begins at the Mattole Beach campground. The trail offers beautiful black-sand beaches, dunes and tidepools. A large portion of the hike is through ne, loose sand, and hiking beneath the cliffs can be dangerous at high tide. Tide information is usually posted at the trailhead. To reach the site from Hwy 101, take the Honeydew/Dyerville exit in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Travel west to Mattole Rd. in Honeydew to Lighthouse Rd., almost an hour and a half trip. Travel ve miles to Mattole Campground. MORE INFO: BLM, 707-986-5400, LighthouseFriends.com/light.asp?ID=63

he Avenue of the Giants offers more than the majesty of towering redwoods. This 31-mile route also passes through several small hamlets that give a glimpse into the history of Humboldt County. The towns along the Avenue, once closely tied to the timber industry, now rely more on the tourists who come to see the redwoods, swim in the Eel River and visit Humboldt Redwoods State Park. At the south end of the Avenue of the Giants is Phillipsville, which has restaurants, a grocery store, a motel, numerous visitor attractions and several river access points. Further north is the town of Miranda, surrounded by redwoods and boasting a growing community of artists. Here youll nd lodging and dining. Myers Flat, north of Miranda and in the heart of the redwoods has a country inn, ne dining restaurant and wine tasting room, plus a family oriented campground. The town of Weott is not located at its original site. The town used to straddle the Avenue of the Giants until 1964, when a devastating ood washed it and several other local towns away. Look for the tall post marking the depth of the oodwater. Most travelers to Weott come to see the Visitors Center at Humboldt Redwoods State Park, just south of town. The town of Redcrest began in 1918 as a logging town. Its location on high ground protected Redcrest from the devastating oods that wiped out the lower-lying towns. An RV park, resort with cabins and an abundance of redwood attractions make Redcrest a popular destination. The northernmost community on the Avenue is called Pepperwood, a low-lying area that used to include stores, a school, church, garages, gas stations and bars. The ood of 1955 eliminated many of these, and the ood of 1964 took care of anything that was left. The residents who remain appreciate the beauty of their home. Dozens of tourist-oriented attractions cater to the streams of visitors who arrive each year to see the redwoods. Founders Grove, dedicated to the founders of the Save-theRedwoods League, contains the 346-foot tall Founders Tree and the Dyerville Giant. The Dyerville Giant was the tallest tree in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, but on March 24, 1991, it fell and now lies on the forest oor. Even in repose, however, the tree is an impressive sight.
Phillipsville
Once thought to be a dying institution, the all-American roadhouse still survives in northern California. Roadhouses are small, old inns, usually with a dance hall, a tavern with extremely cold beer and some form of fresh, pub-style foodusually found on an old highway or rural route, far beyond any city limits or bright lights. While the Eel River ooded out most of the little towns along the Avenue of the Giants in 1964, the water only rose to the back door of the Riverwood Inn in Phillipsville, sparing it to become a cult classic. The original structure, thought to have been built in the 1930s, has rocked as a roadhouse ever since. The Riverwood Inn is the last remaining roadhouse among scores that populated old Hwy 101. It is certainly the most famous. The Inns entertainment is legendary; John Lee Hooker, Norton Buffalo, the Knockouts and Guitar Shorty have all played here to the delight RiverwoodInn.info of the road-weary. The Riverwood Inn is open year-round, with a winter re to greet travelers in the notso-off season. It offers snug rooms, a full bar complete with vintage red velvet wallpaper, fresh authentic Mexican food, and some of the best live music north of San Francisco.

Avenue of the Giants ~ Miranda
he rustic town of Miranda, which in Latin means to be admired, was once a principal stop on the long and arduous automobile trek from San Francisco to Eureka. The town lies to the east of Hwy 101 and ti is one of a few almost-forgotten towns worth exploring at your leisure along Avenue of the Giants Hwy. Surrounded by scenic redwoods, there is much to admire about Miranda. This town of about 350 people, near the southern entrance to Avenue of the Giants and less than 10 miles from Humboldt Redwoods State Park boasts a growing community of artists. The town also offers lodging, dining and shopping amenities not available inside the park. The Miranda Market is one of the few places to buy groceries and the only place to buy gasoline on this end of the Avenue of the Giants. Close to the market lies the Enchanted Tree Stump, a free, walk-through attraction. Situated at the end of a short footpath, visitors can venture inside the stump and look up to see the sky above. Across the street is the Avenue Caf featuring hand-tossed pizzas and a surprisingly eclectic menu of homemade and healthy dishes all members of the family will enjoy. For those in search of ne woodworking, beautifully blown glass or masterfully crafted metal works, Miranda is a worthSPIRIT while detour. Korbly Woodworks features a fantastic selection of carvings, turnings, boxes, chests, furniture, tables, clocks and gifts made from redwood and other RT S native woods. All are crafted by Bernie KoGLA rbly, who has over 41 years of experience in handmade woodworking.

Avenue of the Giants ~ Myers Flat
The natural crown jewel of the county is Humboldt Redwoods State Park. This is a denitive spot to see the magnicence of Californias famous coastal redwoods. In the early part of the last century there was a nationwide effort to save what remained of the old-growth redwoods on Californias North Coast. Philanthropists and civic clubs began buying groves of trees for the purpose of preserving them. Humboldt Redwoods State Park was founded in 1921 with one of those purchases, the Bolling Memorial Grove, in honor of a fallen World War I soldier. Today, Humboldt Redwoods is Californias third largest state park, occupying 53,000 acres, including 17,000 acres of pristine old-growth redwoods. Humboldt Redwoods star attraction is the Avenue of the Giants. The park is rarely crowded, and offers more than 250 campsites in three large drive-in campgrounds. There are environmental, group, backcountry and horse camps. Hikers can enjoy more than 100 miles of trails, some of which are also open to equestrians and mountain bikers. The South Fork of the Eel River provides shing, boating and great swimming holes. The park also features a number of day use areas. The Humboldt Redwoods Visitor Center, on the Avenue of the Giants between Myers Flat and Redcrest, is the heart of the park. It is large and comprehensive, staffed by knowledgeable volunteers.

During the early 1920s, promoters of Californias tourism industry devised a clever way to entice visitors to see the captivating beauty of the redwood forestscut a tunnel through a redwood and charge people a fee to drive their cars through to the other side. It was a great photo opportunity that quickly caught on. In time, there were drive-thru trees, drive-on trees, walkthrough trees and even step-thru stumps. Three trees with open trunks remain, one near Humboldt Redwoods State Park on Hwy 101. All are privately owned, charge a nominal entrance fee and are open daily year-round. The Original Drive-Thru Tree in Myers Flat is one of Californias oldest tourist attractions. Known worldwide as the Shrine of the Redwoods, The natural opening in the tree was created by re centuries ago. It is large enough for full sized autos and pickups to drive through. This Old Giant is 21 ft. across and 64 ft. around. The Shrine Tree along with the drive-on log, Tree House Village, Cathedral Trees, Rings of History and The Balance Tree are all part of the Shrine Drive Thru Tree Auto Park.

The peaceful village of Myers Flat is nestled in the heart of the redwood forest, a centerpiece of the Avenue of the Giants. The Myers Country Inn, a delightful B&B, anchors the village which formed around it over 130 years ago when it was a stagecoach stop on the way to the Northern California gold elds. Jack London, the famous San Francisco author, was said to have stayed there often as he traveled up and down the old Pacic Highway on his many adventures. The Inn still basks in period furnishings and revels in its history with old news clippings and photos hanging throughout the building. The ambience is as warm and friendly as the replace in the lobby, and the breakfasts are home cooked and country-hearty. The Myers Country Inn is surrounded by great amenities for the Redwood visitor. A four-star restaurant, winery and tasting room (Riverbend Cellars and Groves Restaurant) are just across the Avenue. Directly across from the inn is a coffee shop and a market for your traveling convenience. Within walking distance of the Inn are antique and collectibles shops, a coin-operated laundry and Myers Flats own Drive-Through Tree. Stay for an extended visit in the largest Redwood Forest worldwide, plan an eight-day eco-tour and experience life as it was when the stage line ran through this charming riverside village.

One of the most striking features of Humboldt County is the magnicent Eel River. The North and Middle Forks of the Eel have been designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic River system, and the Eel Rivers watershed is the third largest in California. The river ows through ve counties with winding lazy curves to churning whitewater. It runs parallel to the coast and Hwy 101. A large part of its run is through the Avenue of the Giants, making Hwy 101 and the Avenue two of the most scenic roads in Southern Humboldt. The South Fork of the river skirts the eastern edge of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. During the summer months, the rivers tributaries are slow-moving streams that provide a number of natural pools and safe swimming holes. There are many river access sites within the park. Dyerville Flats, located where the South Fork joins the main branch of the Eel River, features restrooms, picnic tables, an overlook and ample parking. Dyerville is located four miles north of the Visitor Center and a short distance beyond the turnout for Founders Grove and the intersection of Mattole Rd. The easiest river access to nd from the Visitor Center is Gould Bar. A sign marks where the gravel road intersects Avenue of the Giants on the west, just tenths of a mile north of the center. A short drive takes you to two large swimming holes. You can also hike there from the Visitor Centers parking lot or Burlington campground. High Rock is another access point that is easy to get to. Watch for the High Rock bar sign as you drive north on Avenue the Giants about six miles from the Visitor Center. A short drive down a gravel road takes you to a parking area. From there, its a short walk to the expansive bar that offers several ideal and placid sites. MORE INFO: Humboldt Redwoods Visitor Center, 707-946-2263, HumboldtRedwoods.org

Avenue of the Giants ~ Weott, Redcrest

Along the Avenue of the Giants off Hwy 101 stands one of the most durable trees in history. The Immortal Tree is over 950 years old and has experienced more trials and tribulations than any single tree should. It has been a victim of lightning strikes, res, oods and the loggers ax. Yet it still stands and continues to grow heartily. Look up and youll see a wooden sh attached to the trunk where the color of the bark changes. This indicates the high water mark when the area ooded in 1964. Theres also part of an ax left stuck in the tree where loggers tried to cut it down, but eventually gave up when the tree would not give way. Several times, the Immortal Tree has been hit by lightning. The evidence of these strikes is on its scarred trunk. During its lifetime, through many forest res, somehow this magical tree never burned down. The Immortal Tree is considered a truly exceptional specimen. This landmark makes for a wonderful photo opportunity and is a perfect spot for a picnic. The spacious Burl n Drift Redwood Souvenir gift shop, family owned and operated since 1967, offers high quality, locally produced redwood items. They added a new 49-space, state-of-the-art RV Park in 2007. WHERE: 1 mile north of Redcrest on the Avenue of the Giants MORE INFO: AncientRedwoods.net

The Immortal Tree
Inside the Humboldt Redwoods Interpretive Visitor Center resides a photo by Andrew Bird curious behemoth of a vehicle. It just may be the original RV. In 1917, Charles Kellogg, an American naturalist and lecturer, hoisted a six-ton hollowed-out giant redwood log onto the chassis of a Nash Quad, a large truck the Nash Company built for the military in World War Ione of the very rst 4x4 vehicles. Kellogg used an axe and an adze to hollow out the log, and fashion it into a cabin on wheels. Inside the log, he built a complete home with a kitchenette, lockers, beds, dining table, dresser, electric lights, running water and a guest room. This was 90 years ago! The log is completely solid; the walls, ceiling, and oors are all one piece. To help preserve it, Kellogg hand-rubbed 12 pounds of beeswax into the wood. Kellogg rst toured the United States in his Travel-Log to sell liberty bonds for the war effort. After the war, Kellogg, also known for his surreal ability to imitate bird calls, traveled the states to promote preserving Californias giant trees. He crossed the country four times in his lumbering motor home. Today, the Travel-Log is in beautifully restored condition. Guests at the Visitor Center can get close to the log, but are not allowed inside it. The AD PROOF exhibit also features information about Kelloggs life and teachings. This ancient truck is very delicate and consequently is roped off to keep it preserved. However, if you want to have a similar experience, you can visit the Immortal Tree in Redcrest on the Avenue of the Giants, and climb aboard their lovingly restored log truck. 101 Things To Do WHERE: on the Avenue of the Giants, State Rt. 254, between Weott and Myers Flat.

Take a historic drive through the redwoods. The 32-mile stretch of road running parallel to todays Hwy 101 follows an old stagecoach road.

The stops are numbered 1 through 8 from the southern Avenue of the Giants entrance at Phillipsville. Plan for at least an hour so you can stop and see the sights. From north to south, stop #1 is F.K. Lane Grove, between Phillipsville and Miranda. Next stop is Bolling Grove near Myers Flat (with nearby deli sandwiches or wine tasting and gourmet lunch).

The
Eternal Tree House
See the 20 Foot Room Inside the Tree
When visiting the Avenue of the Giants, a fascinating stop is the Eternal Tree House. This one-time giant of nature endured over 2,500 years before being reduced to a surviving stump. The still-living stump contains a huge cavern caused by re centuries ago. It had been used rst by Indians and later trappers, hunters, travelers and their livestock for shelter. In the early 1900s, Harry McLeod, an expert wood splitter hewed out the interior with an ax and adz. The 20-foot room was rened in 1950 and a gift shop was established inside the stump. The walls still bear the marks of the work and are mementos of an all but lost art. The tree itself is said to have parented many surrounding trees from its burl. A burl is a hard conglomerate of many dormant buds; the original single bud grew, but failed to develop into a branch. The irregular photo by Gregg Gardiner growth proceeds to divide and redivide until a lump (burl) has formed. Some of the overgrowth is actually a form of scar tissue, resulting from a past injury to the tree. The Eternal Tree House offers free admission, a cafe and a gift shop with a large selection of locally crafted redwood products. There is parking for RVs and buses.

The Eternal Tree House
Early in the 20th century, womens civic groups around California organized a statewide campaign to protect the redwoods in Humboldt County. In response, the California Federation of Womens Clubs purchased a grove of giant redwoods next to the South Fork of the Eel River. In 1931, renowned San Francisco architect Julia Morgan, designer of the Hearst Castle, fashioned a monument to celebrate saving the grove from the loggers saw. Morgans monument stands today in the Federations grove, a peculiar

Morgans biographer wrote that the Hearthstone is a symbol for the untouched nature of the forest and the Federations scrupulous protection of this heritage. The California Federation of Womens Clubs Grove is easy to reach by car, and is a popular picnic place including two solid redwood picnic tables big enough to accommodate a family reunion. This is also a popular spot for weddings. WHERE: Take Avenue of the Giants about 3 miles north from the Visitor Center.

THE FLOOD OF 1964
Located 1.7 miles north of Redcrest, California, the Park rests amongst the tallest and oldest living things in the world nearby to Founders Grove, the California Federation of Womens Clubs Grove, and the Humboldt Redwoods State Park Visitor Center. Ancient Redwoods is also the home of the Hollow Log Truck.
THE
UNDERCUT
Originally a 1945 White Fire Engine, this truck was modied in 2007 into the Hollow Log Truck. The log is approximately 1000 years old. The Hollow Log Truck can be seen Memorial Day through Labor Day at the Burl n Drift novelty and gift shop.
The Immortal Tree is a 950 to 1000 year old redwood. This tree has survived re, ood and the loggers axe. In 1908, Holmes Eureka Timber Company harvested about 5000 acres of ancient redwoods. During this harvest an undercut was chopped into this tree with the intention of falling it. It is unclear why the loggers did not nish the back cut. The wound eventually healed but is still visible on the Immortal Tree. After falling the nearby acreage, the loggers lit a re to remove brush and slash before bucking the timber to length. The forest re scar and charring is still visible but did not kill this tree. Sometime before 1952, lightning removed the top of the Immortal Tree. In December 1964 a huge ood inundated Holmes Flat and Humboldt County. The high water mark is approximately 17 feet above the base of the tree and is still visible. The next generation, believed to be the fth, is growing in front of the Immortal Tree.
HISTORY OF THE IMMORTAL TREE
A GIRTH OF 33 FEET!
In 1967 Janice and Edward Lewis opened the Burl n Drift novelty and gift shop, specializing in locally manufactured redwood souvenirs and gifts. Over the years the family-operated shop has increased their own production of redwood products insuring a larger choice and higher quality of redwood gifts. We consider it a pleasure to provide area information and service to the touring public. We also provide clean, ADA restrooms and complimentary picnic area. No trees are harvested to provide our resource material. Shipping is available.

cotia is without a doubt the last chance travelers will have to see a company town in America. A stop in Scotia is like taking a trip back in time to when the forests of Humboldt County supplied building material for much of California and the West. Company towns like Scotia were established by large lumber companies to provide for the social, commercial and housing needs of their employees. This beautiful town is located on a striking wooded hillside overlooking a giant bend in the Eel River about 30 miles south of Eureka. The 270 picturesque cottages built between the 1920s and 1950s with manicured yards and white picket fences evoke memories of an earlier time. Driving through the town, it is easy to envision Scotia as it was at its founding in 1863 as Forestville, eventually to be renamed Scotia 25 years later. Amenities in Scotia include a grocery store with a very popular deli, a pharmacy, bank, hardware store, community recreation center, a picnic area, baseball eld a soccer eld and more.
uch like neighboring Scotia, Rio Dell also grew from the lumber industry and thrives now as part of the visitor industry. Located 25 miles south of Eureka, the town is a rural community with a city population of about 3,300. Nicknamed The Warm-Hearted City, Rio Dell sits in a beautiful valley surrounded by wooded mountains and the Eel River. Rio Dell has an excellent park, with picnicking area and playground, a baseball diamond and recreational equipment. There is a municipal tennis court, community library and several churches. There is also a gas station, automotive repair shops, a motel, several dining facilities and other assorted businesses.

The Scotia Inn Arguably one of the most distinctive buildings in Humboldt is the Scotia Inn. The inn was rst constructed in 1888 to serve local needs and eventually became a stagecoach stop between the Bay Area and Eureka. This structure burned down in the early 1900s and was replaced in 1923. The Inn has recently undergone renovation and now offers modern amenities with its many Victorian era antiques and old-fashioned claw-foot tubs. The bridal suite has a full-size hot tub. The Pub is open for lunch and dinner with selections that range from delicious steaks and salads to sweet potato fries and hamburgers.

The Old Girl is New Again

In July of 1933 Harry Candiotti and his wife Angelina opened the Angelina Inn at Fernbridge. The newly constructed building was an all-Humboldt project: it was designed by a Eureka architect, built entirely by local labor, and constructed from Humboldt County redwood. The restaurant served Italian and American food, and was run by the Candiotti family until the mid-1990s when it changed hands for the rst of several times, nally closing in 2003. It remained vacant until 2010, when the current owners bought it. What followed was a huge job of restoration with improvements including an entirely new state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, a new 30-foot black granite bar, a new stage, new lighting and new sound system. The Angelina, as it is called today since there is no longer an Inn, serves Lunch and Dinner 7 days a week from 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. The Bar remains open until 11 p.m. on weeknights and 2 a.m. on weekends, and features a limited bar-food menu for the extended hours. It features over 50 beers plus 14 on tap, over 40 wines, and many original and custom mixed/blended drinks plus all your standard favorites. The old girl is young again and ready to be enjoyed for the next 80 years!

armers, merchants and lumbermen from northern Humboldt County established the town of Fortuna around 1875. The town was named Fortuna because the towns citizens felt fortunate to live there. It was not just loggers and lumber barons who rst settled in the area; many Eel River Valley settlers were originally drawn to California by the prospects of gold. They soon returned to the farming life they had known in the East, settling the rich lands of the valley to raise livestock, grains and a variety of fruits, especially apples. The valleys lush ground yielded large crops of fruits and vegetables and the dairy industry became the areas premier farming occupation. The warm weather and friendly atmosphere make Fortuna a particularly good setting for a number of annual events: the Daffodil Show in March, Art and Wine in the Park in June, Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo in July, and Hops in Humboldt in September. The Fortuna Rodeo in July is the oldest rodeo in California. See pages 10 and 11 for events and festivals in all of Humboldt County. MORE INFO: Fortuna Chamber of Commerce, 800-426-8166, FortunaChamber.org
In 1889 the Eel River and Eureka Railroad constructed a depot at the foot of 7th Street. It remained in service through 1965, and in 1974 the City of Fortuna purchased it and moved it to Rohner Park. The depot building opened as a museum on July 4, 1976 amid Bicentennial celebrations.

The Riverwalk area has become a perfect stop for travelers along Hwy 101 with several hotels, restaurants and conveniences all within walking distance. There is an RV Park and also tent and cabin sites. It makes an excellent base from which to tour the Eel River Valley, with many amenities for residents and travelers alike.

LOLE TA D R
VISITORS WELCOME
erndales neighbor, Loleta, is a small, picturesque dairy community about 12 miles south of Eureka. Its original name was Swaugers Station, but in 1897 a faction of the community who objected to that name were successful in changing it to the Wiyot name for the area, Lo-le-tah, meaning pleasant place at the end of the water. Loleta sits on the gentle rolling foothills of the Eel River Valley with a spectacular view of the valley, river, dairy ranches and the Pacic Ocean beyond. It is well known for its cheese factory, bakery, ranch products and antiques, as well as for being a good place for casino fun at Bear River Casino & Hotel.

Eureka

Eureka Old Town and the Boardwalk R.V. Madaket boat ride, kayaking Sequoia Park Zoo Woodley Island Marina Samoa Dunes Recreation Area, Samoa Cookhouse Logging Museum, Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum Fort Humboldt State Historic Park in south Eureka Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, just south of Eureka, off the Hookton Rd. exit of Hwy 101 Morris Grave Museum of Art and many Art Galleries in Old Town and Downtown Eureka Clarke Museum housed in a 1912 bank building with a focus on Humboldt County during the late 1800s.
ike many of the towns in Humboldt County, the city of Eureka got its start as a Gold Rush transport center and later a logging and milling townfull of bars, brothels and card rooms patronized by hundreds of loggers and sailors. With a population of more than 28,000 today, Eureka is the cultural, political and economic hub of Humboldt County. While logging is still a principal part of the local economy, Eureka also caters to an increasingly diversified local population. Proud of its history, the city has hundreds of beautifully restored houses and commercial buildings, such as those in the Old Town area. Eureka also has hotels, inns, restaurants and galleries that rival those in much larger cities. Rivers, ocean, marshes, mountains and forests are all in close proximity. A turn toward Humboldt Bay off Hwy 101 (4th or 5th St. in the heart of Eureka) between C and M Sts. will bring the visitor to Eurekas Old Town district. At the foot of F St. is the Eureka Boardwalk, which runs for five blocks along the waterfront area. Lined with benches, signal ags and other nautical touches, the boardwalk affords views of the Woodley Island Marina, Humboldt Bay and local wildlife. The city continues to work on waterfront development and enhancement. An easy stroll behind the Carson Mansion at the top of 2nd St. leads to the lovely, massive Humboldt County Library. Comfortable chairs and great views encourage patrons to curl up with a good book. A short drive over the Samoa Bridge leads to Woodley Island Marina. The marina was dedicated in 1981 and has berths for 350 vessels. It is probably the best spot to view the waterfront and much of the local fishing eet. A sculpture by local artist Dick Crane stands at the end of the marina. It is dedicated to the memory of fishermen who have been lost at sea. Another great way to see this wildlife as well as other pleasing sights is aboard the M.V. Madaket, a tour boat that offers several daily excursions on the bay. Built on Humboldt Bay in 1910, the Madaket is the oldest continuously operating passenger boat in the United States and is operated by the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum, which is located next to the Samoa Cookhouse. The Madaket also houses Californias smallest licensed bar. About 8 miles south on Hwy 101, travelers can visit the picturesque campus of the College of the Redwoods, one of Californias 107 community colleges. CR, as it is known locally, offers courses for students who wish to obtain associate degrees or to complete the first two years of a bachelors degree and transfer to a four-year institution such as Humboldt State University. There is so much to do in Eureka that it takes days to explore everything. A good first stop is the Chamber of Commerce office at 2112 Broadway (Hwy 101) where knowledgeable staff can offer any needed advice. MORE INFO: EurekaChamber.com

Old Town Eureka
ld Town is a living tribute to Eurekas respect for its roots and historic past. By the 1950s and 1960s, the fine old 19th century commercial buildings and Victorian houses of this several-block stretch near the waterfront were showing their age. Community groups, as well as historical organizations in other parts of California, launched the Century III Project, which secured low-interest loans from the federal government to restore the oldest part of town to its original state, with a few embellishments to boot. While not quite originalthere are no livery stables in this new incarnation, no shipfitters or sawmillsthe area is true to its historic roots. First, 2nd and 3rd Sts. make up the heart of Old Town. It is a mix of shops, restaurants, small businesses, galleries and watering holes. Some of the best restaurants in Eureka are in Old Town. Easily the most famous structure in Old Town is the Carson Mansion, which rises above Old Town at the head of 2nd St. This elaborately ornamented Victorian was built in the 1880s for lumber baron William Carson and is an

Eureka is well-known for its Victorian architecture, and the citys streets are a treasure trove of elaborate and lovingly restored buildings. The Carson Mansion perhaps the most-photographed Victorian in America is said to have employed more than 100 craftsmen at one time for the carving, nishing and installing of its intricate decorative ourishes. There are over 1600 historically-designated and noteworthy examples of Victorian homes all over Eureka proper. If you are a Victorian buff, take a meander through the easy-to-navigate streets of Eureka and see a town whose history is still proudly standing. Almost every street in Eurekas Old Town boasts at least one Victorian. In addition to its famous Victorians, Eureka also boasts an impressive collection of historic buildings in other architectural styles, including French Second Empire, Greek Revival, Italianate, Eastlake and Queen Anne. Many are on the National Register of Historic Places. MORE INFO: Eureka Main Street, 707-442-9054, EurekaMainStreet.org

Humboldt Bay was settled in the early 19th century and has had a rich seafaring history lled with adventure, passion, and especially, disaster. From 1850 to 1914, the best way to carry passengers and goods to and from this area was by sea. Between the 1850s and 1940s, more than 40 ships, and more if you count shing boats, met their demise in and around the treacherous harbor entrance. Many aspects of maritime life of the North Coast and Humboldt Bay come alive as soon as you step through the door of the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum. It is lled with artifacts that will show you about the shipwrecks, shipbuilding, lumber schooners, shing boats, ferries, tugs and the lighthouses that lit the way for all boats to pass safely into the harbor. They even have a lighthouse lens from the middle of the 19th century. The M.V.

Despite this misconception not all Tribes share the same ceremonies, language or traditions.

Fort Humboldt State Historic Park, located just outside of Eureka, is a must-see for history buffs. Situated on a bluff overlooking Humboldt Bay, Fort Humboldt was established in 1853 when the gold rush resulted in hostilities between Native Americans and gold-seekers. At its operational peak, the fort had 14 buildings. A young Ulysses S. Grant was a captain here for ve months after the Mexican-American War. Later, it became the headquarters for the Humboldt Military District, which includes Fort Bragg and Wright in Mendocino County, Fort Ter-Wer in Klamath and Camp Lincoln near Crescent City. The fort was auctioned to farmers in 1870 and soon fell into decay. In 1955, Fort Humboldt State Historic Park was established and repairs began on the fort. So far, only the hospital and surgeons quarters have been restored. They are used as museums with exhibits that show the history of the area and how the fort operated. A historic garden has been planted with herbs and vegetables that were available in the 1850s. You can also see 19th and mid-20th century logging equipment, such as Lucy, a Dolbeer-type steam donkey, and two locomotives. Guided tours can be arranged. The park is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily, and there is no entrance fee. WHERE: 3431 Fort Ave., in south Eureka, one block east of Hwy 101 on Highland Ave. near the Bayshore Mall.

See a pristine coastal habitat at the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge is located on Humboldt Bay just south of Eureka and provides sustenance for migratory water birds, including tens of thousands of shorebirds, ducks, geese, swans and black brant. Established in 1971, the refuge was created to preserve the great diversity of birds, mammals, sh, amphibians, invertebrates and plants in Humboldt Bay. In spring, the bays eelgrass beds are a key staging area for brant prior to their return to Arctic nesting grounds. The Refuge grasslands provide important habitat for thousands of Aleutian Canada geese. It is one of the key points for the millions of migratory birds that rely on the Pacic Flyway. More than 200 bird species, including 80 kinds of water birds and four endangered species, regularly feed, rest or nest in the Refuge. The Richard J. Guadagno Visitor Center is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (except Federal holidays) and has dioramas and an observation room equipped with spotting scopes. There are exciting things to see and do year-round, with peak wildlife viewing from November through March, including hunting and shing in designated seasons, and the popular Aleutian Geese Fly-Off in early spring. Enjoy a solitary stroll over the various trails or take a guided walk on the rst and third Wednesdays, or second Sunday of the month. All walks leave the Visitor Center at 9 a.m. Sorry, no dogs allowed. WHERE: 1020 Ranch Rd., off the Hwy 101 Hookton Rd. Exit in Loleta. MORE INFO: 707 733-5406, FWS.gov/humboldtbay

Imagine standing under a towering forest canopy, streams of light coming through the leaves and the gentle twitter of birds echoing from the woods surrounding you. This is a beautifully tranquil experience, which everyone should have at least once in their life. The Headwaters Forest Reserve, just south of Eureka, offers an ideal setting for this experience. The reserve serves as a habitat for threatened animals, such as the marbled murrelet and the coho salmon. There are two different sections to this 7,500-acre forest. The northern section is open from dawn to dusk for anyone wanting a pleasurable hike through the redwoods. The Elk River Trail is an 11-mile hike past BLM.com streams, the south fork of the Elk River and several magnicent old-growth stands. The Elk River Trail is a wilderness area, and wild animals such as bear and mountain lion do inhabit the region. One mile into the Elk River Trail hike you will nd the remains of what was once a mill town called Falk, named after its founder Noah Falk, who migrated here in the late 1800s during the gold rush. Upon arrival Falk was enamored with the redwoods and came to see them as his own form of gold. Falk built a sawmill on the site, and a town with a population of nearly 400 sprung up around it. The mill and the town operated for nearly 30 years until the Great Depression in 1937, when the mill shut down and the town followed shortly after. Through the mid 1900s Falk became a ghost town and in 1979 the buildings were nally taken down due to liability factors. Today, hikers along the Elk River Trail can see where this town once stood. Interpretative signs along the trail point out the sight where the mill and the towns buildings once stood. Where now all that remain are haunting foundations, ghostly relics of metal machinery left behind, and the giant stumps of age-old trees who fell in the mills path. The other portion of the reserve, the southern end, can only be accessed on a BLMled guided hike, beginning at Newburg Park in Fortuna. The guided hikes are conducted between mid-May and mid-November, Thursdays through Sundays. WHERE: six miles southeast of Eureka along Elk River County Rd.

If you love to ride your ATV or have been itching to try the sport, head to the Samoa Dunes Recreation Area. This is a great place to go for an afternoon of launching up and over sand dunes, making sharp turns and triggering sand to shoot into the air. With more than 140 acres of trails and beach, there is plenty of space to play. There is also a 75-acre riding area known as Eureka Dunes, which is now open to off-highway vehicles. It extends about one mile north of the park. Take a break from all the fun to cook some food on one of the grills. If you are not an ATV enthusiast, youll still enjoy the many other activities the park provides, such as strolling down the jetty, hiking, surng, shing, seeing the starsh clinging to the jetty rocks, beachcombing or bird-watching. A variety of sea- and shore-birds can be seen nesting and resting in the cypress tree groves throughout the 300-acre park. The northeast 40 acres are dedicated to the protection of the Humboldt Bay wallower, which is now an endangered plant. While walking around, you may even encounter heaps of shells, which were discarded by the Wiyot Indians who used this land long ago as a seasonal gathering site for shellsh. The Samoa Dunes Recreation Area provides fun opportunities for every member of the family, but ATVs are not available to rent. WHERE: take Hwy 255 off Hwy 101 in Eureka. Go across the Samoa Bridge and turn left (south) onto New Navy Base Rd. Drive about four miles down the road to the end. MORE INFO: 707 825-2300, BLM.gov/ca/st/en/fo/arcata/samoa.html

Kinetic Grand Championship, Arcata Plaza, photo by Denise Comiskey
n 1850, when the Union Wharf and Plank Company laid out the town of Union, now Arcata, it had the foresight to designate block 167 as a park or common area. It is possible that some of the hardy types who were on the North Coast after a headlong rush to the gold elds remembered the commons of their New England homes or the squares of sleepy Southern towns. Whatever the reason, this precious block, now the Arcata Plaza, was saved for Kinetic Grand Championship, photo by Anthony Welch posterity. Not that it was Pastels on the Plaza, ArcataChamber.com treated all that reverently at rst. Early arrivals camped on the square in tents, huts or whatever shelter they could contrive while making arrangements to get to the diggings on the Klamath, Trinity or Salmon Rivers. Some people who settled on one of the properties in town thought that the open space in the middle was a ne spot to graze their cows and goats. A bandstand in the center of the plaza was completed in 1901 and citizens planted rosebushes and boxwood around the rich, green lawn in the following years, as well as the rst palm trees. The bandstand has since been replaced with a statue of William McKinley, and local businesses have adopted the ower beds. Today, people gather on the plaza to visit, to take a lunch break or just to relax and enjoy the sun. It is a place where craft fairs, sidewalk sales, rallies, demonstrations and just about any other kind of gathering takes place. See pages 10 and 11 for more Arcata Plaza events.
The scenic beauty of Humboldt County is apparent everywhere you look, and Arcata is a great spot to experience some remarkable historic places. The town was settled under the name of Union, around 1850. The area has undergone several different periods as it developed. After what was known as the settlement era, Arcata went through a period of heavy Victorian inuence. Many Victorian houses and structures stand to this day and are popular sites for tourists and photographers. The William Nixon House is a great example of architecture from this period. Located on 10th St., this amazing home was originally bought for 500 sacks of potatoes. On 14th St. are mirror-image mansions, which sit across the street from one another. Designated historic landmarks include the Hotel Arcata, 9th and G Sts., built in 1915; Jacobys Storehouse, 8th and H Sts., built in 1857, now used for numerJacoby Storehouse, photo by Steve Hammons ous restaurants, shops and ofces; and one of the oldest continuously operated theaters in the country, the Minor Theatre at 10th and H Sts., which was built in 1914. All of these structures have undergone restoration in recent years and feature quality workmanship in the exterior and interior of the buildings. Along with the historical landmarks, visit The Railroad Museum on the ground oor of the Jacoby Storehouse Building on the Plaza at 8th and H Sts. The Arcata Main Street ofce is also located in the Jacoby Storehouse. MORE INFO: Historical Sites Society of Arcata, 707-822-4722.

One of the best places to bike, hike, jog, or ride a horse in Humboldt County is the Hammond Coastal Trail. Part of the California Coastal Trail, it is more than ve miles long, stretching north from Arcata to Clam Beach County Park in McKinleyville. The trail lies along what was originally a railroad track built in the early 1900s for transporting redwood logs from the Little River area to the Hammond Lumber Mill on Samoa Spit. As a result of the railroad, the asphalt and crushed stone trail is quite level, which makes it an excellent place for several exercise options. There are two distinct sections of the trail. The photo by Steve Hammons southern part is a 3-mile-long paved path stretching from the Mad River Bridge, through Hiller Park to Widow White Creek in McKinleyville, featuring amazing views of the Pacic Ocean and the Mad River. After traversing the historic Mad River Bridge and ascending a short but fairly steep hill, stop by Rogers Market which serves as a refreshment center for trail travelers, complete with deli and Wi-Fi. The northern section of the trail is mostly paved and leads from North Letz Ave. to Clam Beach County Park. See spectacular vistas of the ocean and Trinidad Head from sea level or the high bluffs. There are also plenty of places to access the beach. WHERE: take the Hwy 101 Giuntoli Ln. exit two miles north of Arcata, then head west on Janes Rd. to Mad River Beach.

hrouded in mist or dazzling in sunshine, beautiful Trinidad Bay is a jewel on the coast. Its rocky shoreline protected by Trinidad Head, the bay is the focal point for the small village of Trinidad. A peaceful hideaway perfect for shing, beachcombing, hiking, kayaking or just relaxing, Trinidad has a population of approximately 400 in its incorporated city. There are dozens of private campgrounds, RV parks, cabins, bed and breakfast inns and vacation rentals in the area, as well as some of Californias most beautiful state parks. The harbor is home to a small eet of commercial shermen, and there are smokehouses that sell the locally-caught salmon and albacore. Charter boats are also available at the Trinidad Pier for whale-watching or shing. Anglers can drop a line right off the pier. For those who bring their own boats, a marine railway is available to launch your vessels for a fee. Small craft such as kayaks and motorboats can be launched right from the beach. Trinidad Cove, with its sheltered waters and stunning natural scenery, is a favorite among kayakers. The rocky coast is home to seals, sea lions, dozens of bird species and the occasional gray whale. North of Trinidad, Hwy 101 presents the traveler with some of the most spectacular scenery in the Pacic Northwest. Among the sights are three lagoons: Big Lagoon, Stone
Lagoon and Freshwater Lagoon. All are stocked annually with trout, salmon and steelhead. These lagoons are great places to explore by kayak, canoe or rowboat, or stroll along the waters edge.

Tucked down below Trinidad in a sheltered cove is Trinidad State Beach. It is just a short hike through stands of alder trees, along open bluffs with impressive views, and through meadows full of wildowers. Stand on the shore and gaze out upon the panorama of rugged rock formations, often shrouded in mist, jutting out of the Pacic Ocean. You might spot sea lions sunbathing on the rocks, or at the right time of year, migrating whales. The one-mile expanse of clean sand extends to the high cliffs of Trinidad Head. Tidepool viewing is a safe and fun source of entertainment for the young ones. Small caves, a natural arch and rock promontories entice the adventurous explorer. A low-tide walk out to the rocks reveals a strange-looking, owering plant called the sea g. There are miles of nearby hiking and horseback riding trails. If you enjoy shing, this area is well known for its bountiful waters. This beautiful spot may become one of your favorites. When you catch something, head over to the picnic area and cook it up on the outdoor grills. The beach is for day use only, and is open from sunrise to sunset. Trinidad State Beach is located 19 miles north of Eureka off Hwy 101 in Trinidad. MORE INFO: 707-677-3570, Parks.Ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=418

Many people love to see the historical lighthouses that dot the coast of Northern California. The Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse is a shining example of these. This lighthouse is a replica of the original Trinidad Head Lighthouse still in use today. Both the original big fog bell and Fresnel lens stand on the site of the current park. They make a perfect addition to the little park overlooking the rocky coast below the town of Trinidad. The lighthouse memorial now stands as an everlasting monument to those lost at sea. After the memorial was established, the list of names of all the people lost at sea soon outgrew the small plaques. More plaques have since been afxed to the retaining walls. Perhaps the best part of this lovely park and monument is the view. The rocks crop out of the foamy ocean, overlooking the many small shing boats swaying in the breeze. Standing atop the beautiful cliffs with the salty sea breeze in your hair, youre sure to remember this spectacular scene. The town is nearly as picturesque as the view from the memorial. If youre there at noon, youll be privileged to hear the fog bell toll in memory of lost sailors. WHERE: off of Main St. on Trinity Ave., Trinidad

At Patricks Point State Park there are great trails, great views and Agate Beach, a wonderfully pebbly beach made for agate hunting. This beach is covered with the wave-polished semi-precious stones. While not as valuable as precious stones, agate is used as a gemstone and for photo by Gregg Gardiner making mortars and pestles. If new to the hunt, the rst characteristic to look for is translucence. The quartz quality of agate allows light to penetrate a short distance into the surface producing a soft glow. Along with shades of red, brown and orange, the translucent optical quality gives the agate its distinctive appearance. The feature people look for most in identifying an agate is a lined pattern, called banding. Fortunately most beach agates have been weathered enough to expose these bands. While agate hunting draws many beachcombers to the North Coast, chasing surf and skipping rocks seem to be irresistible pleasures for kids playing at this beach. Always be cautious when near the surf, for those beautiful waves can be dangerous, with sudden wave surges or sneaker waves. An alternative to walking down the path from Patricks Point State Park is to gain access to the beach by going to Big Lagoon where one can access the upper end of Agate photo by Marna Powell, KayakZak.com Beach without walking down a steep path. It photo by Tracy McCormack is a straight walk from the parking lot to the beach. For best results in hunting agates, look for them where the waves have washed away much of the ne sand, exposing mostly pebbles. In a few hours, one can usually nd a handful of beautiful agates in many varieties. Again, be conscious of the waves, and for best results, time your activity to low tide.

Over the ages, ve different varieties of ferns have grown on the canyon walls. Huge overhanging trees grow at the top of the ridge, allowing streams of light to peek through the branches. Fallen trees along the bottom of the canyon can be climbed upon. When the ltered light combines with the iridescently green vegetation, the canyon takes on an unearthly hue.

Hwy 299 ~ Trinity
he inland mountain region of Humboldt County is rugged terrain dissected by wild rivers such as the Klamath, Trinity and Salmon. Access to the region is via Hwy 299 and Hwy 96. Traveling east from Arcata, travelers pass the hamlet of Blue Lake followed by the town of Willow Creek some 40 miles further.
Although the locals are used to it, many visitors to Blue Lake are surprised to find no lake. In the 1860s, the lake for which the town is named was created by receding oodwaters of the Mad River, and for 50 years gave the place a resort atmosphere. A hotel was built on the shore by an early Blue Lake settler. People from the foggy coast made the trek to Blue Lake to enjoy the lake, the river fishing and warmer temperatures of summer. Changes in the course of the river in the 1920s caused the lake to disappear, but fishing, sunshine and the rural charm still draw people to Blue Lake to live and play. Blue Lake Casino and Hotel, operated by the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe, is a great place to find quality entertainment. Enjoy live music, slots and gaming tables as well as gourmet and family dining. You can also stay at their new luxury hotel. Since 1975, Blue Lake has been the home of the internationally known DellArte Players Company and the DellArte School of Physical Theatre. DellArte performs locally, regionally, nationally and abroad, and theater students from all over the world train at the school.

One such road is the Trinity River Scenic Byway, the western section of Hwy 299. This roadway crosses an amazing selection of diverse terrain. The Forest Service has called this stretch of highway, From the Valley Oaks to the Redwood Coast in an attempt to display all that you will see in the way of habitats and terrain on this breathtaking drive. If you start on the inland side, you will see the dry manzanita that covers the interior valleys of Northern California. Afterwards you will cruise past sheer granite cliffs as you pass over and through the mountains that separate the Pacific Coast and the redwood forests from the interior of the state. In the springtime, you will see a variety of magnificent wildowers that bloom on either side of the road. The drive winds its way through two national forests, and driving maps are located at the ranger stations as well as at the ends of the 140-mile route. Much of the way Hwy 299 runs right next to the Trinity River. Along the way, there are plenty of opportunities for fun outdoors activities. You can stop off and enjoy a night of camping or put in your raft to run some Class 4 rapids. You can take a tour of a ghost town or try your hand at the age-old practice of gold panning. Fishermen can also find some great little spots along the way to catch some delicious salmon and steelhead that inhabit the rivers and streams nearby. The Trinity River Scenic Byway runs from just off of Hwy 101 near Arcata and ends near Redding, and in total it takes nearly four hours to drive.

raveling north from Crescent City you come to the tiny agricultural community of Smith River, where the river of that name enters the Pacic. And continuing northward you nd yourself in Oregon. The Southern Oregon coast offers visitors dazzling ocean vistas and lush green forests, sand dunes and sea lions, water sports and sailing adventures. Inland Southern Oregon offers warmer summertime temperatures, wintertime skiing, white water excitement, wineries and Shakespeare performances. From beautiful coastal communities like Gold Beach, Brookings Harbor and Florence to the inland cities of Ashland and Medford, to the gorgeous Willamette Valley and everything in between, Oregon is a paradise. Whether you prefer river rafting, shopping, taking chances or taking it easy, theres an adventure in Oregon for you. Take a jet boat ride on the Rogue River with Jerrys Rogue Jets in Gold Beach. Glide over the water past enormous rock cliffs, viewing diverse plant and animal life. At the crossroads of Hwy 101 and County Road 595 in Gold Beach, many travelers zipping along dont realize what making that turnoff could do for them. County 595 becomes Agness Rd. after about 20 miles, and leads to the small town of its namesake, Agness. The world famous Rogue River runs right through the center of town. Located where the Rogue National Wild and Scenic River area and the Il-
linois Wild and Scenic River area connect, the 35-mile drive is slow-going, but full of beauty. Travelers can stop many times along the way. Singing Springs Resort in Agness offers Rogue River visitors hospitality, ne food, casual overnight accommodations and an escape from the hustle and ow of everyday life. It features experienced driftboat operators and shing guides on the Rogue. Along Hwy 101, the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area spans three counties. Beginning near North Bend and extending more than 40 miles north to Florence, this area of gigantic sand dunes extends as far as three miles inland in some places. A series of inland freshwater lakes, created when the dunes dammed up small streams, provide excellent places to sh, sail or swim. There are national, state, county and private campgrounds throughout the area. While in the Florence area spend some time exploring Sea Lion Caves. This cave is the worlds largest sea cave, with a height of over 12 stories, and the length of a football eld. Sea lions regularly gather in the cave during the fall and winter months, but spend time in and around the cave all year round living, breeding and raising their young. An elevator takes visitors down 208 ft. into the heart of the cave to see these fun loving creatures in their natural habitat. Whatever direction you choose to go in Southern Oregon hiking, white-water rafting, kayaking, shing and spectacular natural beauty await.

The Heart of Mendocino County
Anil Bhula
endocino County, Humboldt Countys neighbor to the south, is a mix of dramatic coastline, colorful vineyards and rolling hills. Two main arteries, coastal Hwy 1 and Hwy 101 inland, serve the county. The three northernmost towns in Mendocino County Laytonville, Leggett and Piercy are strung along Hwy 101 as it follows the Eel River into Humboldt County. Laytonville is situated 150 miles north of San Francisco. It was founded by a blacksmith named Layton and was a stagecoach stop on the route from San Francisco to Eureka. Two forks of the s.com g Eel River are close to Laytonville and 101thin provide excellent salmon, steelhead and trout shing. Visitors may see such varied wildlife as deer, quails, raccoons and boars. Laytonville is set in the beautiful Long Valley, a level shelf 12 miles long and three miles wide surrounded by wooded hills. The town has most of the services required by travelers, including restaurants, gas motels and the Red Fox Casino. Approximately 25 miles north of Laytonville is the town of Leggett, located at the junction of Hwy 101 and Hwy 1. The former logging town attracts campers and travelers during the summer months and hordes of shermen in the late fall when salmon swim upstream to spawn. Leggetts Drive-Thru Tree Park features the Chandelier Tree as the centerpiece of 200 acres of preserved virgin redwood forest. Nearby Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area offers camping, picnicking, hiking, shing and swimming in the south fork of the Eel River. The park is one mile north of Leggett.

On the Hwy 101 drive through northern Mendocino and into Humboldt County, be sure to stop at Confusion Hill, where seeing is believingor not. And dont miss the One Log House, or the Grandfather Tree, all worth some R&R time away from the car. Willits, the third largest town in Mendocino County, is located on Hwy 101 approximately 22 miles north of Ukiah. The town was called Willitsville in 1865 and the primary industry was lumber. Today, wood products are still important to the local economy. However, many other industries such as tourism, wineries and service industries are also expanding. Willits features excellent retail stores, restaurants, lodging and business, service establishments and the Skunk Train Depot. Most of the businesses line Hwy 101, but a few can be found on quiet side streets. Nestled in the fertile Yokayo Valley between the Coast Range and Lake Mendocino along Hwy 101, Ukiah is the Mendocino County seat and its largest city. First settled in 1856, Ukiah began to grow in 1889 with the arrival of the railroad. Now the citys population is approximately 15,500, and the greater Ukiah area has about 35,300 residents. Ukiah has grown to become the financial, business, medical and service center for Mendocino, Lake, northern Sonoma and southern Humboldt counties. In many Ukiah neighborhoods, beautifully restored Victorian homes are plentiful. Lake Mendocino is located five miles north of Ukiah, east of Hwy 101 on Hwy 20. There are two large boat ramps, and, with a surface area of 1,822 acres, the lake is a great place for wakeboarding, water skiing or jet skiing. Fishing is a popular activity and the lake yields an abundance of bass, bluegill, crappie Laytonville Rodeo, photo by Kaye Kuykendall and catfish. There are several campgrounds around the lake, with over 300 campsites that offer camping for tents, trailers and motor homes. Although only a few blocks long, the town of Hopland packs a lot into its short length. Its attractions include a brew pub, a Victorian inn, an old-fashioned roadside caf, several wineries, a fine gift shop, a cheesecake factory and a fresh bread bakery. There are six winery tasting rooms in town, and a few more just outside of town. Coastal Mendocino is cool, breezy and dotted with picturesque villages. In southern Mendocino are the towns of Gualala and Point Arena. Both towns have exceptional accommodations and restaurants for relaxed vacationing. The Point Arena Lighthouse is a favorite stop for southern Mendocino travelers. Further north, after passing through the tiny hamlets of Elk and Manchester, is the most populous and popular section of the Mendocino coast, from the town of Albion and including the towns of Little River, Mendocino and Fort Bragg. The town of Mendocino is a New England-style community perched on headlands above the Pacific Ocean. The area is rich with hiking, diving and many other recreational possibilities, and home to great restaurants and art galleries. Fort Bragg, to the north of Mendocino, is a great base for recreational activities. It is just south of MacKerricher State Park, a favorite spot for bicycling, hiking, horseback riding and bird-watching. It is the home of the famous Skunk Train, an historical logging railroad that now takes travelers on a redwood-lined route from Fort Bragg to Willits.

umboldt Countys coastal setting is an exceptional western backdrop to a rugged and beautiful playgroundthe Shasta-Cascade Region. The eight northernmost California inland counties are a land of mountains, lakes, elds, streams, and some of the most amazingly beautiful cities, small towns and quaint yet fashionable communities in the world. Whether your plans include water skiing, shing, houseboating, hiking, playing in the snow or just relaxing away from it all, ShastaCascade has something for everyone. The Shasta Cascade region is a summertime playground with pristine warmwater lakes and a wintertime wonderland of alpine magnitude. Within an area the size of Ohio are seven national forests and eight national and state parks. It is an expanse full of natural wonders. The Shasta Cascade region is served from north to south by I-5. Smaller routes traverse the area from west to east and include Hwys 299, 96, 36, 44 and 70, among others. The roads are mostly two-lane and offer incredible scenic views. Major rivers in the area include the Sacramento, Klamath, Trinity, Feather and McCloud. These waterways provide excitement for anglers, whitewater rafters and kayakers, as do the regions lakes and reservoirs. The dominant body of water in the region is Shasta Lake, a reservoir with 365 miles of shoreline created by the Shasta Dam. Even as large as it is, the size of Shasta Lake pales when compared with Mt. Shasta. The mountain seems impossibly massive. At 14,162 feet, its peak almost appears too lofty to be of this world. The mountain attracts hikers, skiers and campers who cavort on its slopes, and serious mountaineers who strive to conquer its summit. Mount Shasta is part of the Cascade Range, which runs LakeShastaCaverns.com diagonally through the region. Southeast of Mt. Shasta is Lassen Volcanic National Park, with 106,000 acres of volcanic terrain. Features such as boiling mud pots, steaming ground, roaring fumaroles, and sulfurous gases are viewable throughout the area. Nowhere else in the Cascade Range of volcanoes can such an array of hydrothermal features be seen. The park also features thick forests, clear streams and wildower-matted meadows. Just south is Lava Beds National Monument where visitors can view miles of hardened molten rock ow, lava tubes and caves created by sudden cooling. Cave enthusiasts will also enjoy Lake Shasta Caverns which is 19 miles north of Redding featuring a two-hour guided tour after a boat ride across the lake. The attractions mentioned are only a fraction of whats available in the Shasta Cascade region. ShastaLake.org
