The Humboldt Bay poster used for the cover was created from a mosaic of high-altitude 3 foot resolution aerial photographs in which the colors and edges did not match. Trees Foundation took these images and using ArcGIS, Photoshop and Illustrator, stitched together the photos and created the overall design. Since 1991, Trees Foundation has provided professional and technical services free-of-charge to grassroots organizations that work to restore the ecological integrity of California’s North Coast. Trees Foundation partners with dozens of groups to advance forest conservation, watershed restoration, and environmental advocacy.

Humboldt County’s Artisan Wines

4 6

www.HumWines.com

elcome to the wineries and vineyards of Humboldt County—a community of artisan wineries and vineyards whose passion and enthusiasm for wine is matched by the quality of their products. Humboldt is a county of diverse growing and wine making areas, from the vineyards and wineries scattered among the redwoods of Southern Humboldt to those winding river and forest canyons of the East county, and the wineries in the Northern County that feel the cool breezes of the Pacific Ocean. These diverse regions produce a variety of grapes ideally matched to the micro-climates and soils of these areas. Most of the vintners are happy to welcome guests and are only open by appointment. 1.

All Around Humboldt County

Explore the Vastness of Six Rivers National Forest

Six Rivers National Forest is an enormous forest offering a wide variety of activities for people of every age. The forest encompasses nearly one million acres and stretches southward from the Oregon border for more than 140 miles. Portions of the forest lie in four different counties, with a large portion in Humboldt County. The things you’ll see when visiting Six Rivers are awe-inspiring. You have the opportunity to hike, or ride horseback along trails through the rugged mountains, stands of redwoods and grasslands. Enjoy great fishing, whitewater rafting and kayaking in the area’s many rivers and streams. Wildlife lovers may spot rare animals and plants, and the area is also known as the home of the legendary Bigfoot. There are a number of places where you can enter the park. Highways 199, 96, 36 and 299 all run through Six Rivers National Forest, and Hwy 101 runs parallel to it. For more information on camping, activities and directions, call the Six Rivers National Forest Headquarters in Eureka at (707) 442-1721. www.fs.fed.us/r5/sixrivers

Camp Out in Humboldt County

Whether you sleep under the stars or enjoy the comforts of your RV home-away-from-home, Humboldt County has some of the best and varied camping you’ll ever encounter. If you like to wake up to early morning sounds that can only be produced under a canopy of tall trees, then choose from one of many state and national parks spread throughout the county, where redwoods are abundant and the views from camp are truly magnificent. If beach camping is what you’re after, Humboldt County has that in abundance, or camp along a lake, river photo by Steve Hammons or lagoon. From your chosen campsite, set out to explore the area: hiking, kayaking, surfing, fishing and wildlife-watching are all popular pastimes here. Humboldt County has all these activities and a temperate climate perfect for sleeping comfortably outside. But don’t forget the rain gear in the winter. Wherever you decide to camp, make sure to be respectful of any wildlife rules. For more information on the available campsites in the area call the Humboldt County Convention and Visitors Bureau at (800) 346-3482. www.redwoods.info

Disc golf is a wildly popular and fun pastime in Humboldt County that nearly anyone can play. In principal, the game is almost identical to golf. Players try to get from the throwing pad to the pin using the fewest attempts. As in golf, throws are referred to as drives, shots and putts, and there are tees, fairways and greens. The obvious difference is the equipment; special throwing discs made of heavy plastic are used in order to maximize distance and control. Humboldt County is home to six disc golf courses. Arcata features two: one on Warren Creek Road, just off West End Road between Arcata and Blue Lake, and the other is in the Community Forest behind Humboldt State University. Cooper Gulch Sports Complex is home to Eureka’s popular 9-hole course that challenges players of all skill levels. Willow Creek has two courses, the Ammon Ranch Course and the Steelhead Course at Creekside Park, which borders a rushing creek that serves as a daunting “out-of-bounds” area. Manila offers the short 9-hole Bay Course. The local disc golf organization, Par Infinity, is a good source for information about the sport and upcoming events. www.parinfinity.org

Garberville

he Southern Humboldt town of Garberville, founded as South Fork in the late 1800s, is a bustling community that belies its size. With a vibrant array of shops, motels, services and restaurants, it caters to travelers along Hwy 101, as well as to thousands of rural residents in the 15% DISCOUNT WITH THIS AD surrounding countryside. (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY) Garberville and its sister city Redway are also the gateways to a myriad of recreational opportunities, from the miles of swimming holes on the Eel River, to the Yolla-Bolly Middle Eel Wilderness Area, to Shelter Cove and the Lost Coast, and the 31-mile-long Avenue of the Giants that winds through stands of ancient redwoods a few miles north of Redway. Like many other Southern Humboldt towns, Garberville got its name from one of the early residents of the area. Jacob Garber served as the town’s postmaster, and the area officially became Garberville in March 1874. Back then, a large portion of the present-day town was a prune orchard, Garberville’s first industry. When a road connecting San Francisco to Eureka was established in the 1920s, Garberville became a favorite stop for motorists. Today, Garberville is known for its friendly residents, and it is both a stop-off point and destination for travelers. The town is well placed on Hwy 101, 200 miles north of San Francisco and 52 miles south of Eureka. Garberville’s amenities include an airport and hospital, motels, restaurants and a huge number of RV, private and public campsite spaces. Anglers have long sought out the area’s local waterways. However, due to dwindling stocks, there are sometimes restrictions on the annual catch for species such as salmon. It’s a good idea to check with local sporting goods stores for current regulations before dipping a line. During the summer, the nearby river offers sunbathing, swimming, boat rentals, camping and picnicking. Another delightful Garberville destination is Southern Humboldt Community Park, just south of town on Sprowel Creek Road. The community has raised more than $600,000 to save the prime agricultural property from development. The 475-acre parcel includes 200 acres of flatlands, a unique find within California’s Coastal Range. The community continues to raise money to preserve the park’s natural resources. For more information, call (707) 923-2287. www.sohumpark.org The quaint and vibrant communities of Garberville and Redway are famous for several major yearly events that are celebrated in the area. The towns, which are only a few miles apart, stage musical and theatrical events that are known far beyond the borders of Humboldt County. June, the annual Redwood Run draws thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to the banks of the Things To Do® • P.O. Box 1374 • Eureka, CA 95502 •In (707) 443-1234 Eel River, just south of Garberville.

The arts festival features food and craft booths, children’s entertainment, music, dancing, boating and swimming. A winter version of the festival is held in December, and is a great place to find a unique Christmas gift. For more information, call the Mateel Community Center at (707) 923-3368. www.mateel.org During Father’s Day weekend, locals and visitors are treated to the Garberville Rodeo.

The Redwood Run

Garberville

he annual Redwood Run is a traditional biker party with all the accommodations. The event is held on the second weekend of June and tickets sell fast. The Redwood Run Biker Party is located in Piercy, just south of Garberville, with an easy exit off Hwy 101. This southern hot spot is nestled between warm winding rivers and redwood forests. Getting to the event is half the fun. Riding in from the north, south, or east will take you past some of the most breath-taking views in California. The undeveloped coast line to the west, along with trees dating back 1000 years give you the chance to look back at what it must have looked like before all of the hustle and bustle of the modern day work week. It’s this atmosphere that makes the Redwood Run so special and has kept people coming back for the past 30 years. One of the biggest attractions that keeps people coming back, and brings in new rookies each year, is the music. Live bands start early Friday afternoon and the music doesn’t stop untilchanges deep into the indicated night.

Shelter Cove & The Lost Coast AD PROOF

2009 Humboldt County

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 proof. for a road.

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 boasts some of the world’s 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, tea house, markets and a daylight landing strip.

Lost Coast Range

he 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 feet, and is only three 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 inaccessibility—only a few back roads lead into the range—this Douglas-fir-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 shoreline; tide pools and kelp beds are their homes. California grey 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 Cooper’s hawk. Black bear and mountain lions also prowl these mountains and the shoreline. The King Range lies at the base of a tectonic anomaly known as the Mendocino Junction, where three of the earth’s plates come together. Thus, the mountains here are rising faster than just about anywhere else in the world. The dominant rock is greywacke, a dark grey sandstone that crumbles easily. Hence, the beaches are black sand. Also found here are archeological remnants of the original human inhabitants, the Mattole and Sinkyone tribes. Village sites and other cultural remains can still be found here. The King Range became the nation’s first 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, which 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 Road on the south, and Wilder Ridge Road on the east. On the north end of the range, access is near the mouth of the Mattole River on Lighthouse Road, off Mattole Road. For information on trails, camping, day hikes, backpacking, horseback riding, fishing, abalone diving and hunting, call the BLM’s King Range project office in Whitethorn, (707) 986-5400, or in Arcata, (707) 825-2300. www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/arcata/kingrange/index.html

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 easily be spotted up the coast to Seal Rock. To find seals and sea lions, just listen for their distinctive bark. You can hear them from almost anywhere in Shelter Cove. At high tide, they dive into the water in search of fish and shellfish.

The Pacific Coast’s rocky reefs feature some of the world’s most abundant tidal zone life. The secret to this abundance are the winds and currents that drive surface water away from the shore, causing nutrient-rich cold water to rise from below.

Plan your trip to the tide pools for an hour or two before or after the lowest minus tides, which occur twice daily. Tide courtesy of Bureau of Land Management, www.blm.gov tables can be purchased at local stores that stock fishing supplies. Tide pools are generally divided into four zones: splash, high, mid and low. The splash zone is where only the highest tides, large waves, or a storm surge cover the rocks. The high tide zone is where only the highest tides reach. In these zones, you will find periwinkles, limpets, sea lettuce, acorn barnacles, some shore crabs and turban snails. In the mid-zone pools, usually exposed during the lowest minus tides each day, look for sea stars, hermit crabs and sculpins (which change their color to match the surrounding algae). Look for sea sacks and anemones just above the pools, and just below look for mussels, goose barnacles and sea palms. In the low zones, uncovered only during the lowest tides of the month, you can find abalone, sponges, rock crabs, urchins and maybe even an octopus. Cautions: Wear long pants and shoes with soles that grip on wet rocks. Don’t let the incoming tide flood your return route to shore. Don’t turn your back to the ocean. Watch the waves, and don’t let a big one sneak up and sweep you off the rocks. Collect only memories—leave everything where you find it.

Shelter Cove & Lost Coast

Visit the King Range National Conservation Area

The King Range National Conservation Area is a beautiful tract of relatively untouched land covering about 68,000 acres and extending along 35 miles of pristine coastline. The area’s most striking feature may be the way the mountains rise dramatically out of the crashing waves. Its highest point, King Peak at 4,088 feet above sea level, is only a mere three miles from the coast. The King Range has magnificent black-sand beaches, which are perfect for tidepooling, beachcombing, surfing, abalone diving or fishing. While enjoying the beach, keep your eyes open for playful seals and sea lions, which inhabit the shallow waters just offshore. If you’d rather hike inland, the range provides excellent trails as well as perfect spots to set up camp. The many miles of trails are ideal for either short walks or multi-day backpacking adventures. Mushrooming, hunting and bird watching are also popular at the King Range National Conservation Area. Keep your eyes to the sky and you might see a falcon or bald eagle, only two of more than 300 bird species taking to the skies above the range. Numerous campgrounds are available for tents and trailers, as well as some very scenic picnic areas. All are open year-round. The King Range National Conservation Area has something for everyone to enjoy. It is located off Hwy 101 and can photo by Gregg Gardiner be accessed to the south through Garberville or to the north through Ferndale. Roads leading into the range are steep and narrow. Drivers of large vehicles should exercise caution. For more information, call the Bureau of Land Management at (707) 986-5400. www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/arcata/kingrange

Hike Along the Lost Coast

To some there is nothing more relaxing than leaving all the worries of the world behind and heading out into the wild and untouched wilderness. Humboldt County has one of the best and purest opportunities to do just that. Shelter Cove serves as a dividing line for the roughly 64 miles of California Coastal Trail along the Lost Coast. To the north and south, find pristine views of the Pacific Ocean and the rugged coast that meets it. What could be better than waking up to the glowing sunrise on one side and fine black-sand beaches on the other? For the adventurous hiker, the trail offers the perfect two- or three-day excursion. For those wishing for less intense adventuring, take more time or shorten the trail where it comes close to the road. Find a number of great campsites along the trail. Some are only accessible to hikers, but others are just a short trek in from the road. Car campers will love the opportunity to get all the breathtaking views the California Coastal Trail has to offer without all the work. Most of the Coastal Trail is well-marked, but it is recommended that any hikers who aren’t familiar with the trail to bring a map of the area and a tide table along. Maps are available for $5 at the BLM’s Arcata Field Office (1695 Herndon Road, Arcata), or the King Range Project Office (768 Shelter Cove Rd, Whitethorn). Bear canisters are required in this area, and can be rented from either BLM office for $5. Whether you are an experienced outdoorsman or just hoping to enjoy the untouched beauty of Humboldt County, be sure to take a peek at the California Coastal Trail. 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 Road and go 14 miles to Shelter Cove Road. Turn right on Shelter Cove Road and follow the signs to Black Sands Beach. For more information, call the BLM’s King Range Project Office at (707)986-5400. www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/arcata/kingrange/krncatrails.html www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/arcata/kingrange/shuttle_service.html

Visit the Punta Gorda Lighthouse

If there was an Alcatraz of lighthouses, 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 confinement. 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 village of Petrolia. The site was originally sanctioned as a fog station in 1888. It wasn’t until 1912 that the Punta Gorda (Spanish for “substantial point”) lighthouse was approved by Congress, and only then after 10 ships and countless seamen met their end near this point. The flashing 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 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 three-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 fine, 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 Road in Honeydew to Lighthouse Road, almost an hour and a half trip. Travel five miles to Mattole Campground. For information, call the Bureau of Land Management at (707) 986-5400. www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=63

See the Cape Mendocino Lighthouse at Shelter Cove

In 1999, a large helicopter lifted the lantern off the historic, but badly deteriorated, Cape Mendocino Lighthouse and flew it 35 miles south, 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 fitted new glass into this 139-year-old sailor’s 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 Pacific Coast’s most treacherous waters. Cape Mendocino is California’s westernmost point. The first ship carrying supplies to build the lighthouse struck a rock on its journey and ran aground in 1867. When a steamer finally landed safely at the cape’s 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 flashing 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. www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=25

Fish the Waters of the Pacific Ocean

Shelter Cove is one of California’s premiere ocean fishing 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 fish from shore for perch or rock fish. Fishermen can also launch a boat from the cove, which Point Delgada protects from the northwesterly winds. Visitors can buy fishing licenses at Shelter Cove stores or charter a boat from a sport fishing 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 fishing experience is to let one of Humboldt County’s expert fishing guide services outfit 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 you’re after. The Tides Inn and the Shelter Cove Oceanfront Inn can provide information and help arrange charter fishing trips for guests. To reach The Tides Inn, call (888) 99-TIDES or visit their website at www.sheltercovetidesinn.com. To reach The Shelter Cove Oceanfront Inn, call (800) 824-1614 or (707) 986-7002. www.sheltercoveoceanfrontinn.com

Dozens of tourist-oriented attractions cater to the streams of visitors who arrive each year to see the redwoods: •The Chimney Tree, a 78-foot redwood gutted by fire in 1914, is still growing along the Avenue in Phillipsville.

Avenue of the Giants

Stop by a Classic Old Roadhouse

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 food—usually found on an old highway or rural route, far beyond any city limits or bright lights. While the Eel River flooded 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 at 2828 Avenue of the Giants 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 Inn’s entertainment is legendary; John Lee Hooker, Norton Buffalo, the Knockouts and Guitar Shorty have all played here to the delight of the road-weary. The Riverwood Inn is open year-round, with a winter fire to greet travelers in the not-so-off season. It offers snug rooms, a full bar complete with vintage red velvet wallpaper, fresh authentic Mexican food made with local organic produce, and some of the best live music north of San Francisco. For reservations or more information on the Riverwood Inn, call (707) photo by Steve Hammons 943-1766 or the restaurant at (707) 943-1930. www.riverwoodinn.info

Take a Driving Tour of the Redwoods

Take an historic drive through the redwoods. The 32-mile stretch of road running parallel to today’s Hwy 101 follows an old stagecoach road. As the old mill towns began to fade and traffic increased, the state decided to preserve an old section of the road running directly through Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Whether you start at the north entrance near Pepperwood south of Fortuna, or from the south entrance a few miles out of Phillipsville, you’ll get the real redwood experience. 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). Stop #3 is the Park Visitor Center offering many interpretive exhibits, a place to picnic along with free coffee, directions and information. Stop #4 is Weott, to swim, picnic or bird watch. Stop #5 is the Mahan Plaque in a mysterious looking forest. Stop #6 is at Dyerville, a historic stage and ferry stop with a checkered history going back to prohibition. Two miles north is Chandler Grove at #7 giving a close-up look at native flora and fauna. Your final stop is #8 is the Drury/Chaney Grove near Pepperwood, the garden basket of the redwoods. Take this beautiful drive from either entrance. For further information, call (707) 946-2409. www.humboldtredwoods.org

Take a Hike Through the Trees

Humboldt Redwoods State Park has hundreds of miles of trails. There are so many it’s hard to decide where to hike. Here are the five best hikes chosen by the volunteers of the Humboldt Redwoods Interpretive Association, who staff the Visitor Center. A map available at the Visitor Center for under $2 clearly marks the location of the trails in the park. 1. Founder’s Grove Nature Loop Trail. An easy hike, just over two-thirds of a mile in total. The trailhead is easy to find off the Avenue of the Giants about four miles north of the Visitor Center. (See map on pages 28 and 29 for trailhead locations) 2. Rockefeller Loop Trail in Rockefeller Forest. The trailhead is off Mattole road, about a mile west of where Mattole Road joins the Avenue of the Giants, four miles north of the Visitor Center. In this short hike, also just two-thirds of a mile long, hikers will find 17 of the world’s 100 tallest trees. 3. Bull Creek Trail South. This is a seven-mile round-trip hike through the Bull Creek State Wilderness. At 10,000 acres, it is the largest section of old-growth redwood forest left. This trail is accessed off the Rockefeller Loop Trail. 4. Johnson Camp Trail. This 10-mile round-trip trail has some steep sections as it climbs to a backcountry camp. Hikers will find deserted cabins the loggers once slept in, along with other interesting artifacts from the heyday of logging. This is also an equestrian trail, so hikers may encounter horseback travelers along the way. The trailhead is about six miles west on Mattole Road, across from the Albee Creek Campground. 5. Grasshopper Multiuse Trail. This is a 14-mile round-trip that takes hikers to the fire lookout atop Grasshopper Peak, which tops out at 3,379 feet. It is an 8-hour round trip for average hikers, who enjoy stunning views of the entire park from the lookout. There is a backcountry campground just below the photo by Steve Hammons peak. This trail is open to horses and bicycles, and hikers are likely to encounter both. Access the trail from the Johnson Camp trailhead.

Enjoy Eel River’s Swimming Holes

One of the most striking features of Humboldt County is the magnificent 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 River’s watershed is the third largest in California. The river flows through five 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 river’s 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

Located in Myers Flat on the Avenue of the Giants, this area is known not only for majestic redwood trees, but also for the outstanding wines of Riverbend Cellars. Surrounded by 30 acres of beautiful vineyards and nestled within a 280º bend of the South Fork of the Eel River this extraordinary winery provides an exceptional opportunity for wine tasting and fine dining. New World winemaking techniques combined with European roots produce food-friendly wines with varietal character, as well as complexly flavorful blends. Riverbend courtesy of Riverbend Cellars wines are eminently drinkable now, but crafted to age they will improve in your own cellar for another two to 10 years. Visitors are invited to sample the awardwinning wines at “Riverbend Cellars” tasting room, or as an accompaniment to a gourmet meal at the on-site restaurant “The Groves.” Winemaker Thomas Meagher says, “You don’t get to disguise anything in good winemaking. If something is not top quality, we don’t use it.” Riverbend Cellars’ tasting room is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It also offers a selection of specialty foods, picnic items, local art and much more. Riverbend Cellars is located on the Avenue of the Giants in Myers Flat (at the Hwy 101 and Myers Flat exit). For more information, call (707) 943-9907. www.riverbendcellars.com

a short distance beyond the turnout for Founders Grove and the intersection of Mattole Road. The easiest river access to find 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 Center’s 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, it’s a short walk to the expansive bar that offers several ideal and placid sites. For more information, call Humboldt Redwoods State Park Visitor Center (707) 946-2263.

See the Travel-Log at the Visitor Center

Inside the Humboldt Redwoods Interpretive Visitor Center resides a 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 I—one of the very first 4x4 vehicles. Kellogg used an axe and an adz 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 floors are all one piece. To help preserve it, Kellogg hand-rubbed 12 pounds of beeswax into the wood. Kellogg first 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 California’s 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 it, but are not allowed inside it. The exhibit also features information about Kellogg’s 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. Park headquarters and the Visitor Center are located on the Avenue of the Giants, State Route 254, between the towns of Weott and Myers Flat. www.humboldtredwoods.org/kellogglog.htm

Don’t Miss Humboldt Redwoods State Park

The natural crown jewel of the county is Humboldt Redwoods State Park. This is a definitive spot to see the magnificence of California’s 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 California’s 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 California’s 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 fishing, boating and great swimming holes. The park also features a number of day-use areas.

Stay at a Stagecoach Stop

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 up around it over 130 years ago when it was a stagecoach stop on the way to the Northern California gold fields. Jack London, the famous San Francisco author, was said to have stayed there often as he traveled up and down the old Pacific Highway on his many adventures. The Inn still basks in period furnishings and regales in its history with old news clippings and photos hang throughout the building. The ambience is as warm and friendly as the fireplace 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 are the Daily Grind Coffee House featuring fine espresso drinks and smoothies, and Four Mori Market and Deli which offers every necessity for the traveler, (and some of the area’s best specialties including Brio artisan-baked bread, local microbrews and fresh local produce). Within walking distance of the Inn are antique and collectible shops, a coin-operated laundry and Myers Flat’s 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.

Avenue of the Giants

Experience the Immortal Tree

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, fires, floods and the logger’s ax. Yet it still stands and continues to grow heartily. Look up and you’ll see a wooden fish attached to the trunk where the color of the bark changes. This indicates the high water mark when the area flooded in 1964. There’s 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 fires, somehow this magical tree never burned down. The Immortal Tree is considered a truly exceptional specimen. This landmark, located one mile north of Redcrest, 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, stateof-the-art RV Park in 2007. www.ancientredwoods.net/giftshop.html

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 adze. The 20-foot room was refined 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 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, located at 26510 Avenue of the Giants in Redcrest, 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. For more information, call (707) 722-4262.

 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

HISTORY OF THE IMMORTAL TREE

Originally a 1945 White Fire Engine, this truck was modiﬁed 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 fire, flood and the logger’s 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 finish the back cut. The wound eventually healed but is still visible on the Immortal Tree. After falling the nearby acreage, the loggers lit a fire to remove brush and slash before bucking the timber to length. The forest fire 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 flood 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 fifth, is growing in front 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. Scotia is a quaint village steeped in history — that is looking forward to a bright new future after some recent tumultuous times. A stop in Scotia becomes a trip back to the 19th and 20th centuries, when the forests of Humboldt County supplied the building materials for much of the rest of California and the West and company towns like Scotia were established by large lumber companies to provide for the social, commercial and housing needs of their employees. Today the village 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, and are now occupied by the company’s retirees and employees. Separating the community from the river is the massive lumber mill complex that is now Humboldt Redwood Company. As you drive through the village, it is easy to envision Scotia as it was from its founding in 1863 as Forestville, to be renamed “Scotia” 25 years later. Unlike many other company towns, Scotia did not close down during the Great Depression — it survived that period and now has outlasted the environmental battles and ﬁnancial hardship of modern times. In 2008 a court decision ﬁnalized new leadership and a new company, Humboldt Redwood Company. They have vowed to practice sustainable logging in their huge 328 square miles of coastal forest, and not to cut any redwood born prior to 1800 with a diameter of four feet or more. Amenities in the village of Scotia includes a grocery store with a very popular deli, a pharmacy, bank and hardware store.

uch like neighboring Scotia, Rio Dell grew from the lumber industry, and thrives now as part of the visitor industry. The city is nicknamed “The Warm-Hearted City.” Rio Dell is a small, rural community located 25 miles south of Eureka, with a city population of about 3,250.

Hwy 36 ~ Ruth Lake

ighway 36, from just south of Fortuna to Red Bluff in Tehama County is 140 miles of twists, turns and scenic views—a paradise for both motorcyclists and back road automobile drivers. Actually, Hwy 36 is considered by many to be the finest motorcycle roadway in California. Whether on a sanctioned bike ride or with your family on the way to the vacation destination of Ruth Lake, 68 miles from Fortuna, the stretch is worth the ride. Starting from Hwy 101 near Fortuna, Hwy 36 passes through the towns of Hydesville, Carlotta and Bridgeville, which is named after a local bridge crossing the Van Duzen River. Bridgeville is also well known for the Intergalactic Flying Saucer Trials at Bridgefest, a fair-on-a-bridge with live entertainment, food and crafts. Continue on to the hamlet of Mad River where you’ll find the Mad River Burger Bar, a landmark in the area for locals as well as visitors. Open year-round, you’ll be able to grab a great burger before heading to the Ruth Reservoir. Ruth Lake, at an elevation of 2,650 feet and bordered by ponderosas and firs, was formed in 1962 by the damming of the Mad River. The lake is off the beaten path, but the Ruth Airport makes this area easily accessible by small airplanes. Waterfowl viewing is excellent, especially in spring and fall, with more than 200 bird species in the area. Songbirds are abundant in spring, and Ospreys nest in spring and remain through fall. Nesting bald eagles may also be spotted. This slender lake offers sailing, water skiing and swimming, plus great fishing opportunities away from crowds. The lake has rainbow trout, catfish, small mouth and large mouth bass, year-round to keep fishing enthusiasts happy. Panfish can also be found in the lake. The annual Ruth Lake Bass Fishing Tournament takes place the first week in May. All boating is permitted, including jet skis and water skis. The lake has a full service marina with boat rentals and improved launching facilities available. The Ruth Lake Community Services District Office manages the recreational amenities at Ruth Lake. This includes the Ruth Lake Marina, various full service and primitive campgrounds and the recreational sub-leases around the lake. There are several campgrounds located on the east side of the lake, which will accommodate tents, RVs and trailers, as well as group camping. For more information, call (707) 574-6332 or (800) 840-9545. Across from Ruth Lake Marina is The Journey’s End, which offers much for visitors, sportsmen and vacationing campers. Single rooms, a full cabin, RV spaces with full hook-ups, a hot shower, laundromat, gasoline and diesel are just a few of the amenities awaiting the traveler. The Journey’s End Restaurant is open seasonally from April through October. There is also a seasonal full-service store and a roadhouse saloon with a jukebox and pool table to help you relax. At Ruth, a small community five miles from the southern tip of Ruth Lake, you will find the Ruth Store, which is open year-round. It provides full service grocery shopping, camping supplies, fishing gear and fuels; gas, diesel and propane. Also in Ruth are a bar, restaurant, camping and trailer park and a small airstrip for light aircraft. Two annual events, which draw crowds from all over the country and coastal areas, are the Ruth Rodeo and Ruth’s Summer Festival. See the map on the next page for their locations. The Ruth Lake Summer Festival, held in early August at Ruth Lake Recreational Campground, benefits the volunteer fire department and rescue unit, and features food, arts and crafts, live music, bicycle rides, horseshoes, a boat parade, raft race, quilt show, kite-fly and lots more. For further information, call (707) 574-6269. www.snowcrest.net/wb6fzh/rusum1.html The Ruth Rodeo and dance, held in early July at the Ruth Rodeo Grounds, attracts competitors and visitors from all over the state. It features a breakfast, barbecue and lots of fun for the whole family. For further information, call (707) 574-6472. www.snowcrest.net/wb6fzh/tcrr.html Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®

Explore the Van Duzen River

Fishermen of all skill and experience levels and ages will love a trip to the pristine Van Duzen River, a tributary of the Eel River. The Van Duzen River flows into the Eel about 14 miles from its mouth and runs for 60 miles before the confluence. One difference separating the Van Duzen from the Eel is that the Van Duzen clears much faster after a storm for fishing. There are plenty of great bridges, rocks and the shoreline offering ideal settings to cast in your line. If you’d rather hop in a boat and float to toss in your line, you’ll find numerous put-ins. The fishing on the Van Duzen is primarily for salmon and steelhead trout. Begin fishing this river as early as September and well into the spring. Check out some of the cozy campsites nestled along the river for peaceful camping opportunities. The Van Duzen crosses under Hwy 101 just before it pours into the Eel River south of Eureka. For more information, call Six Rivers National Forest at (707) 442-1721. www.fs.fed.us/r5/sixrivers/recreation/mad-river/fishing/van-duzen-river

Fortuna

armers, merchants and lumbermen from northern Humboldt County established the town of Fortuna around 1875. It was originally called Slide because of its location near a giant landslide between the Eel River and the hills. As the Springville Mill was being constructed, the town’s name was changed to match that of the mill, and because of the numerous springs in the surrounding hills. Its name was later changed back to Slide when it was discovered there already was a Springville, California. Ultimately, the town became Fortuna—because the town’s citizens felt fortunate to live there, the story goes. It wasn’t just the loggers and lumber barons that first settled in the area. Many Eel River Valley settlers were originally drawn to California by the prospects of gold, but 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 valley’s lush ground yielded large crops of fruits and vegetables. In addition to being used locally, they were also shipped to San Francisco. The dairy industry took an early foothold in the area and became the area’s premier farming occupation. People of different cultures also settled here. They worked in the fish canneries on the lower Eel River or built roads and railroads. In addition to logging, farming, and dairying, commercial fishing on the lower Eel provided a living for many. Italians, Swiss and Portuguese settled the area. Many local descendants can trace their lineage to these immigrants of a century ago. Fortuna is located midway in Humboldt County, some 250 miles north of San Francisco and qualifies as the gateway to the giant redwood forest. Salmon fishing at the Eel River is close to Fortuna. Surf and crab fishing and clam digging on beaches at King Salmon or Humboldt Bay are a short drive away. Fortuna enjoys a moderate climate, which is comfortable in summer, with ample winter and spring rains to provide a favorable growing season. Fortuna is often sunnier than the more coastal towns of Ferndale and Eureka. Fortuna is one of the principal shopping centers for the large expanse of Humboldt County, which lies to the south of Eureka. Retail stores, building supply shops, plenty of lodging and professional businesses make it an excellent resource for the surrounding areas. Tourists and locals alike love the antique shops. Lovely Rohner Park is a focal point with its roller rink, museum, hiking trails, picnic facilities, sports leagues and meeting rooms. Fortunans also are proud of the River Lodge Conference Center, situated near the Eel River on Riverwalk Drive. Pedestrians can access the river via a 3-mile gravel path that follows the riverbank. The peaceful setting is perfect for wildlife viewing, jogging and walking. The warm weather and friendly atmosphere make Fortuna a particularly good setting for a number of annual events. For more than 34 years The Fortuna Garden Club has sponsored the annual Daffodil Show in March that features daffodil competitions, arrangements, music and refreshments. In June the annual wine tasting and art festival, “Art and Wine in the Park,” showcases local wineries that bring out their finest to taste along with wines from throughout northern California. North Coast artists and craftspeople display their handiwork opposite the wine tasting venue. The third weekend in July is the time for the Fortuna Rodeo, the oldest rodeo in northern California, which is much more than just raging bulls and courageous cowhands. The week-long event includes street games, sports and contests, breakfasts and barbecues, a carnival, dances and shows, and a long parade through downtown Fortuna. July also hosts the three-day Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo when more than 20,000 people come each day to look at cars, an antique show, antique tractors and engines, and rock out at the ‘50s Sock Hop. In August, Hops in Humboldt features tastings from more than 30 microbreweries, a music festival, food vendors and “beer games.” Fortuna’s Civil War Days take place in September, when re-enactors present living history in a variety of ways, from massive battles with cannon and rifle fire, to depictions of daily life in military camps, refugee settlements and people who lived and died during that war. October’s Apple Harvest Festival is a city-wide combination farm event, historical celebration and family fun day during which apple-tasting is paired with other food tasting, free cider and balloons. In all directions, recreational opportunities abound. Ten miles to the west, just past the village of Ferndale, is Centerville Beach. About 10 minutes north of Fortuna is the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge with 2,200 acres of seasonal wetlands that attract more than 200 bird species. Humboldt Bay is an important stop for migrating birds on the Pacific Flyway. For more information on events and merchants in the Fortuna area, call the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce at (800) 426-8166. www.discovertheredwoods.com

Hike the Salmon Pass Trail

Set out on a hike through the Headwaters Forest Reserve with a knowledgeable guide. Meet up with the Park Ranger who will be your guide at Newburg Park in Fortuna, and explore the wonder of old growth redwoods and beautiful forests.

The next two miles ascend through the old-growth forest with a view across Salmon Creek to the largest stand of Douglas fir and Redwood trees within the Reserve. The trail loops back as it descends through the old-growth. The hike is 2.6 miles round trip and takes about 3 hours to complete; it is a moderately strenuous hike. Guided hikes are offered May through November and are available by reservation only; call (707) 825-2300 for further information or to schedule your trip.

Play at Rohner Park

Treat yourself and your family to a day in the park. Fortuna’s Rohner Park has a long history of memory-making for local folks and visitors alike. Nestled in a sunny spot, bounded by natural creeks and surrounded by old growth redwoods, it’s perfect for short hikes, picnics and hours of play. The park features a playground, tot lot, horseshoe pits, basketball court and immaculate baseball fields – even free wireless Internet access. There are many beautiful trails on the hillside where you can get lost in the ferns and see some of the oldest redwoods in the area, all within blocks of a small town main street. The park is a favorite celebration spot and offers an updated cook shack, deep pit barbecue pits and a large picnic area with an outdoor fireplace. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, community breakfasts and hundreds of family reunions have taken place at the long tables in this wonderful outdoor party room.

Rohner Park’s famous rodeo grounds have been the training grounds for most of the area’s cowgirls and cowboys, and each summer hosts the Fortuna Rodeo. Fortuna’s beloved Depot Museum, which holds many of the city’s historical records, artifacts and treasures, is located at the park’s entrance. The Firemen’s Pavilion has hosted weekend roller-skating for several generations and is also a favorite dance and party venue. This lovely 55-acre park is located at 5 Park St., just off Main St., in Fortuna. For more information, call the park office at (707) 725-7620. www.friendlyfortuna.com/index.aspx?nid=233

Man has attempted for thousands of years to replicate the beauty created in nature. A collection of stunning gems and minerals, found deep below the earth’s surface, can be seen at Chapman’s Gem & Mineral Shop and Museum just outside of Fortuna.

An ultraviolet room offers the chance to view stones in a unique way. To get a full understanding of the collection, take the museum’s informal tour. This is a great experience for the geologist at heart. In the shop, purchase everything from stones, minerals, crystals and fossils to jewelry, books, carvings and shells.

Stroll through Victorian Ferndale

Take a step back in time in the historic village of Ferndale. Ferndale was settled in 1852, and by the 1880s it became a bustling agricultural, dairy and transportation center. Immigrants from Scandinavia, Italy and Portugal gravitated to this thriving community. Today, the entire one-square-mile village is a California Historical Landmark, with its Main Street listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is considered the best-preserved Victorian village in California. This pastoral town of 1,400 people has in many ways remained unchanged since the 1890s. You can pick up a brochure at the Chamber of Commerce and take the Victorian Village self-guided tour. It will take you down quaint Main Street, a photogenic hotspot of delightful shops and marvelously ornate buildings. Stroll past charming churches dating back to the 1800s, and carefully restored Victorian homes with stunning gardens. While on Main Street, enjoy the fine restaurants, art galleries, antique stores and specialty shops. You may also recognize parts of the town from famous movies such as “The Majestic” and “Outbreak.” A stop in the Ferndale Museum will provide you with a detailed history of 101 Things To Do ® photo the town and its people. The Victorian museum features historical displays arranged in room venues, so walking through the museum is like walking down a Ferndale street in the late 1800s and peeking through windows into the past. To contact the museum, call (707) 786-4466. www.ferndale-museum.org While in the area, hike through Russ Park, a 110-acre forested bird sanctuary, comb the beach at nearby Centerville Beach or take a boat tour of the Eel River Delta. Ferndale, a genuine Victorian village, is located 45 minutes south of Eureka, five miles off Hwy 101 at the Ferndale/Fernbridge exit.

Frolic on a Ferndale Beach

Visit the Ferndale Cemetery

Just outside Ferndale, discover a pristine beach on the Pacific Ocean, which stretches for nine miles with dairy farms to the north and steep cliffs to the south. At Centerville County Park and Beach, have an exciting afternoon filled with hiking, picnicking, beachcombing and wildlife viewing. Sandpipers dance on the water’s edge and cormorants, pelicans and gulls soar over the water in search of a meal in the depths below. Between the middle of November and the beginning of March, Eel River Bottoms, visible from the beach, is one of the largest coastal congregations for tundra swans. A cross overlooking the sandy shore memorializes travelers who died in an 1860 shipwreck when a steamer sank offshore. You can spot harbor seals sunbathing on the breakers a short way from the shore. Gray whales can be seen from the beach, migrating south during the winter months and heading north from January through May. You may even see mother whales and their babies coming close to shore in April and May. One of the best lookouts is just south of the beach on Centerville Road. ATVs, 4-wheel drive vehicles and even horses are welcome to travel the sand. At night, build a small fire and gather around with friends and family while roasting marshmallows and gazing at the bright stars. You can even acquire a special permit and go fishing for night smelt. There is no camping on the beach, but it can be enjoyed from 5 a.m. to midnight. Centerville County Park and Beach is located five miles west of Ferndale on Centerville Road. For more information, call (707) 445-7651.

A stroll through Ferndale’s cemetery is a trip through the history of the town and the people who founded it. Some of the headstones date back to the 1800s, and many of the town’s first pioneers and most venerable citizens have been laid to rest here. The graves are carefully tended and you’ll often find fresh flowers on even the oldest of gravestones. Take a walk among the tombstones and mausoleums, and enjoy the lofty vantage point: the cemetery sits on a hill overlooking the town, which affords visitors with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the town of Ferndale, and the Eel River Valley. You’ll find the cemetery on Bluff St., just a block away from downtown Ferndale. photo by Mackenzie Kincaid, www.redroanstudios.com

erndale’s neighbor, Loleta, is a small, picturesque dairy community about 12 miles south of Eureka. The original name of the community was Swauger’s 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 site, Lo-le-tah, meaning “pleasant place at the end of the water.” The most direct route to Loleta is to take the Loleta Drive exit from Hwy 101. Visitors are always welcome – the Today Loleta is still a pleasant place, sitting on the gently rolling foothills of the Eel River Valley with a spectacular view of the valley, river, dairy ranches and the Pacific Ocean beyond.

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 town—full of bars, brothels and card rooms patronized by hundreds of loggers and sailors. Visitors who imagine the days of old might be surprised to find the sophisticated, small city Eureka has become today. With a population of more than 28,000, 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. The next thing to do is get off busy Hwy 101 and into the quiet neighborhoods. A turn toward Humboldt Bay off the highway (4th or 5th St. in the heart of Eureka) between C and M streets will bring the visitor to Eureka’s Old Town district. At the foot of F St. is the Eureka Boardwalk, which runs for four blocks along the waterfront area. Lined with benches, signal flags 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. The Humboldt Arts Council and Morris Graves Museum of Art sit at 7th and F Sts. The impressive building has permanent and rotating exhibits, a photo gallery and a sculpture garden. For further information, call (707) 442-0278. www.humboldtarts.org The Eureka Theatre, a streamlined modern movie house built in 1939, was renovated by a local nonprofit. The theater is located next to the Morris Graves Museum of Art. For more information, call (707) 442-2970. www.eurekatheater.org A short drive over the Samoa Bridge leads to the 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 fleet. The Café Marina has outdoor tables, so food and a view can be enjoyed simultaneously. 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. At the end of the Samoa Bridge, a left turn will take visitors to the Samoa Cookhouse, a lumbercamp restaurant that still serves meals in the hearty fashion of yesteryear. The restaurant also houses a logging museum. For further information, call (707) 442-1659. www.samoacookhouse.net 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 on the Pacific Coast, and is operated by the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum, which is located next to the Samoa Cookhouse. The Madaket also houses California’s smallest licensed bar. For further information, call (707) 445-1910. www.humboldtbaymaritimemuseum.com/madaketcruises.html Another outstanding museum in Eureka is the Clarke Museum, which has its exhibits housed in a 1912 bank building. The museum features the history of Humboldt County, with emphasis on the late 1800s. The permanent displays include furniture, glassware, clothing and other items from the Victorian period. The Native American Wing features a world-recognized collection of baskets, regalia, stoneware, implements and more. For further information, call (707) 443-1947. www.clarkemuseum.org Fort Humboldt State Historic Park is on a bluff overlooking Humboldt Bay. The fort was established in 1853 to assist in conflict resolution between Native Americans, gold-seekers and settlers who began flooding into the area after the discovery of gold in the mines of northern California. Later it became the headquarters for the Humboldt Military District. It was during this period that Fort Humboldt saw one of its most famous residents—young Captain Ulysses S. Grant. The isolation of Fort Humboldt was so unappealing to Grant that after serving as the commanding officer of Company F for six months, he resigned his commission. Today the Fort features a historical museum dedicated to telling the story of the Fort and the Native American tribes of the region—the Wiyot, Hoopa and Yurok. On the grounds is a Logging Museum with open-air displays of historic 19th to mid-20th century logging equipment, including a working Dolbeer Steam Donkey, the Bear Harbor Lumber Company’s Gypsy Locomotive #1, and the Elk River Mill and Lumber Company’s #1 “Falk” locomotive. During the summer there are monthly live “steam-ups” of the equipment. For further information, contact the State Historic Park at (707) 445-6567. www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=665 About eight miles south on Hwy 101, travelers can visit the picturesque campus of the College of the Redwoods, one of California’s 107 community colleges. CR, as it is known locally, has a student body of approximately 7,000. It offers courses for students who wish to obtain associate degrees or to complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree, and transfer to a four-year institution, such as Humboldt State University. Just south of CR, off the Hookton Road exit of Hwy 101 is the headquarters for the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge has two main purposes: to protect and enhance wetlands and bay habitats for migratory birds, especially black brandt, and to protect endangered species and their habitats. Concentrations of migratory waterbirds, especially shorebirds, occur in the fall, winter and spring. In winter it is not unusual for over 100,000 birds to use the Bay as a feeding or Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®

In the spring the refuge is a key staging area for brant and Aleutian geese prior to their migration to Arctic nesting grounds. The Refuge offers a Visitor Center, wildlife viewing, field trips and two hiking trails that are open during daylight hours. For further information, contact the Refuge at (707) 733-5406. www.fws.gov/humboldtbay/index.html Sequoia Park on the south side of Eureka (Harris to 3414 W Street) is home to the Sequoia Park Zoo. In operation since 1907, the zoo, which is one of the smallest institutions accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, is considered one of the most important cultural facilities in the area. Highlights of the zoo include the new Barnyard, a kid-friendly place to meet and greet several kinds of farm animals and explore some of the secrets of the barn. A walk-through aviary features a natural setting and close encounters with several species of colorful and unusual birds. The zoo also features education facilities, a gift shop and cafe. For further information, call (707) 441-4263. www.sequoiaparkzoo.net There is so much to do in Eureka that it will take days to explore everything. A good first stop is the Chamber of Commerce office at 2112 Broadway (Hwy 101) where knowledgeable residents can offer any needed advice.

Take the Family to Samoa Cookhouse

Cruise the Bay on the Madaket

For the experience of friends and family sitting down for a casual dinner, talking over the day’s events and catching up on life, head to the Samoa Cookhouse, which has been serving “family-style” breakfast, lunch and dinner since 1894. This dining experience is unique. For instance, there are no menus. Delicious meals are prepared every day by the skillful chefs, and when you sit down in the old style dining rooms, you can have what they made for the day. The food comes piping hot to the table in large bowls and platters for your family to share and pass around. A waiter will come by later to see if anyone would like seconds. Some would call this “family style,” but at the Cookhouse they refer to it as “lumber camp style.” This is because the Samoa Cookhouse was founded for mill and dockworkers in the 1890s, and it is the last logging camp-type cookhouse in the western United States. When you’re done with your meal, visit the on-site museum. It is full of relics, photos, historic logging and lumber camp cookhouse artifacts. The Samoa Cookhouse is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner year-round. Find this treasure by taking the Samoa Bridge off Hwy 101 and turning left onto Samoa Boulevard. Take your first left.

Climb aboard the Madaket to enjoy a relaxing 75-minute voyage along the shores of Humboldt Bay. The M.V. Madaket was built in 1910 and is the last survivor of seven original ferries, which transported families and mill workers around Humboldt Bay for decades. When the Samoa Bridge was completed in the 1970s, the Madaket was no longer needed. It is now known as one of the oldest passenger motor vessels in continuous service in the entire United States. Between May and October, hop on board and learn about local history, industries, activities, points of interests and wildlife.

Humboldt Bay National Wildife Refuge, South Bay - The Hookton Slough boat launch is a nice paddling access point. Great birding opportunities and plenty of slough channels to explore. Be aware of hunting season (October - February) at the Refuge and the expansive mudflats of South Bay.

Elk River Slough - Best on an incoming tide of 2.7 feet or higher. Can launch at the beach access point on the northwest corner of Hilfike Lane. Great birding opportunities, but there are sensitive habitats throughout, so avoid unneccesary trips out of your boat and do not encroach into private property.

The Bay Islands - Woodley Island, Indian Island and Daby Island are all located in central Humboldt Bay and offer great birding and other wildlife viewing opportunities.

Eureka Waterfront - There are beautiful views of the historic Eureka waterfont, including the Carson Mansion, built in 1886. Stroll through the Old Town district or many restaurants and shops to suit your pleasures. The Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center is also centrally located and is a great resource for your paddling needs. Remember - this area is the commercial boating center of Humboldt Bay, and always yield to other ships and avoid high-traffic areas.

Eureka Slough/Freshwater Slough Great wildlife viewing, and many unique views of mudflats, birds and pastures. Private property surrounds this area, so do not exit your boat unless at a public site.

Mad River Slough - Good on an incoming tide of 2.7 feet or higher. Best to launch at Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary and paddle along the Bay shorline. There are limited land access points and hiking trails throughout the slough, but do not trespass onto private property.

Tour Blue Ox Millworks and Historic Park

The making of authentic architectural reproductions and exceptional custom wood and iron workings is an art mastered by few. The Blue Ox Millworks and Historic Park is in the business of preserving, demonstrating and educating the public about these crafts and the techniques used in the 1800s and early 1900s. As skilled manufacturers, they have made woodwork for two governor’s mansions, national parks, historic cathedrals, and even the White House. Blue Ox functions as a combination manufacturing company, project-based community high school and an historic park that includes the skid camp, a re-creation of an old logging camp. When you visit, go on a self-guided tour to watch unique works of art being created before your eyes. Observe the craftsmen using antique woodwork machinery to do custom woodworking, or see them print and bind books. At the blacksmith shop, ornamental iron works are made, along with nails and bolts.

Ride Your ATV at Samoa Dunes

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, you’ll still enjoy the many other activities the park provides, such as strolling down the jetty, hiking, surfing, fishing, seeing the starfish 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 wallflower, 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 shellfish. The Samoa Dunes Recreation Area provides so many opportunities for every member of the family, but ATVs are not available to rent. To get to the park, take Hwy 255 off Hwy 101 in Eureka. Go across the Samoa Bridge and turn left (south) onto New Navy Base Road. Drive about four miles down the road to the end. For more information, call (707) 825-2300. www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/arcata/samoa.html

OLD TOWN EUREKA

Eureka

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 five 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 surgeon’s 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 Fort Humboldt State Historic Park is located in south Eureka, one block east of Hwy 101 on Highland Avenue, near the Bayshore Mall. The park is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily, and there is no entrance fee. For more information, call (707) 445-6567. www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=665

Discover Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge

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, fish, amphibians, invertebrates and plants in Humboldt Bay. In spring, the bay’s 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 Pacific 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 fishing 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 first and third Wednesdays, or second Sunday of the month. All walks leave the Visitor Center at 9 a.m. Sorry, no dogs allowed. The Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge is located 1020 Ranch Road, off the Hwy 101 Hookton Road Exit in Loleta.

One mile into the Elk River Trail hike you will find the remains of what was once a mill town (707) called Falk, named after its founder Noah Falk, who migrated here in the late 1800s during the Located behind Freshwater Valley Stables gold rush. Upon arrival Falk was enamored with the redwoods and came to see them as his own Enter at stables entrance and follow the signs 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 finally 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 town’s 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 mill’s path.

In 1857, he completed his “fireproof storehouse.” Built of locally quarried stone and bricks, with decorative stonework and iron shutters, the building quickly became a source of pride to the whole community. The storehouse, designated a Historical Landmark, is one of the most beautiful restorations on the North Coast. Across the plaza is the statuesque Hotel Arcata. The hotel was completely renovated several years ago and is a remarkable example of early hotel design. A restaurant, cocktail lounge and retail shops are also housed in the hotel. Arcata is home to the Minor Theatre, the oldest continuously run theater in the country. The Minor is located at 10th and H streets. Arcata is also home to one of the oldest colleges in the California State University system. Humboldt State University was founded in 1913 as a teachers college and was called Humboldt Normal School. Humboldt State can be seen against the backdrop of the Community Forest on the east side of Hwy 101. The university has passed through many stages in subsequent years. After World War II, Humboldt was known as a forestry and natural resources school. Today those programs still flourish but the university also boasts new additions, such as a modern marine lab and a fisheries and wildlife building, completed in May 1999. The curricula in environmental education, business, liberal and creative arts are nationally known and imitated. Arcata is a wonderful place to spend a few days. Drive out to Mad River Beach to see the crashing surf. Afterwards, let the Friends of the Dunes guide you through the finest example of fragile sand dune flora on the West Coast at the Lanphere-Christensen Dune Preserve. Have lunch at one of Arcata’s fine restaurants, and then take the walking tour of Arcata’s splendid Victorian and Greek Revival homes or a self-guided tour (brochure available at the Chamber of Commerce).

North Country Fair, 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 fields 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 posterity. Not that it was treated all that reverently at first. 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 dandy 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 first palm trees. The bandstand has since been replaced with a statue of William McKinley, and local businesses have adopted the flower 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.

Arcata Connecting the North Coast, one Adventure at a Time

“Reach out and touch the natural beauty of California’s North Coast. Our endless variety of tours and adventures allow you to connect with nature in new and exciting ways.”

Climb Into the Redwood Canopy

Experience Humboldt County’s towering redwoods in a whole new way: from the tree’s vantage point. The majestic redwoods were featured as the cover story in the October 2009 issue of National Geographic magazine, along with a remarkable pull-out photograph of a giant redwood tree from top to bottom. Now you can experience that view up close and personal with North Coast Adventure Centers’ Redwood Canopy Tour. NCAC’s naturalists and guides will help you step photo by Peggy Pryor; www.joyinthemorningphotography.com out of your comfort zone and into the canopy. The tour begins with an orientation where you learn terms and techniques that you and your partner need to safely climb, zip, and transfer from tree to tree in the canopy. From there, the tour moves up... and up... and up, 70 feet into a tree called “Trinidad.” You’ll gain a whole new appreciation for the power and beauty of these ancient trees by climbing, zipping and rappelling from their heights. During your journey into the canopy, your guide will teach you about the canopy ecosystem, the majestic redwood habitat, and the balance between preservation and the timber industry on the North Coast. The Redwood Canopy Tour takes 2-3 hours and is not for the faint of heart. Adventurers should be in good physical condition and be willing to “hang out” in the canopy of a Redwood forest, 70 feet up. There is also a 30-foot tree climb and zip traverse for junior climbers and clients who choose not to ascend all the way to the top. In 2010, new RAIN Forest Canopy Tours will be offered during the rainy season. For more information, call North Coast Adventure Centers at (800) 808-2836. www.northcoastadventurecenters.com

See Arcata’s Historic Beauty

The scenic beauty of Humboldt County is apparent everywhere you look, but visitors might overlook some of the rich historical elements throughout the region. Arcata is a great spot to experience some of these 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 influence. 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 Street, it’s hard to believe that this amazing home was originally bought for 500 sacks of potatoes. On 14th Street are mirror-image mansions, which sit across the street from one another. It is amazing to look at these sister houses. Designated historic landmarks include: the Hotel Arcata, 9th and G streets, built in 1915, which now features a full service hotel and retail shops; Jacoby’s Storehouse, 8th and H streets, built in 1857, now used for numerous restaurants, shops and offices; and one of the oldest continuously operated theaters in the country, the Minor Theatre at 10th and H streets, which was built in 1914, is currently operating three movie theaters where current, classic and artistic films are shown. 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 floor of the Jacoby Storehouse Building. The Museum preserves the memory of the days when Arcata was supplied by rail and port. Jacoby Storehouse is on the Plaza at 8th and H streets. For more information, please visit the Arcata Main Street office, also in the Jacoby Storehouse on the ground floor. There are so many more fantastic buildings in Arcata, you’ll just have to explore the area for yourself. For more information, call the Historical Sites Society of Arcata at (707) 822-4722.

At about 10,000 square feet, this park is neither too big nor too small, and is usually not terribly crowded. Better yet, there is no fee to use this public skatepark.

McKinleyville

n the 1860s, rancher Joe Dow established a community between the Mad and Little Rivers. In 1897, a post office and general store were built. In 1901, the residents of what was then known as Minorsville memorialized slain president William McKinley by adopting his name. From a population of 600 in 1940 to an estimated 13,000 today, McKinleyville offers a variety of lifestyles, from affordable apartments to ocean-view homes. McKinleyville is the fastest growing community in Humboldt County, but is proud that, in this town, horses still have the right of way. April and May are good months to view the Azalea State Reserve when the western azalea (Rhododendron occidentale) are in bloom. Trails wind through the fragrant plant life and informational markers describe various species. Take the Central Avenue exit off Hwy 101 and travel east on North Bank Road to reach the reserve. During World War II, the Eureka-Arcata Airport, actually located in McKinleyville, was an important training facility for the study of fog dispersal methods. Today, the modern facility serves as the air gateway to Humboldt County as well as home base for the Coast Guard’s Air Rescue team. A comfortable restaurant and lounge at the airport serves travelers and locals in an elegant setting with views of the runway on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites is adjacent to the airport and offers everything the business or leisure traveler might need. For recreation, McKinleyville’s Clam Beach is a favorite spot for beachcombing, fishing and horseback riding. The Hammond Coastal Trail, a bicycle, equestrian and walking trail, travels threefourths of a mile from Clam Beach to Vista Point, where panoramic views of the ocean can be enjoyed. The trail begins again at Murray Road and can be followed south over the Mad River into the rural bottomland of Arcata. Clam Beach is the site of the annual Clam Beach Run, a popular event that attracts hundreds of runners. Held each February, the run originally began as a winter training race for Humboldt State Track and Field runners. Over the years it has evolved into a nationally-known run. The course starts in the town of Trinidad, 8.5 miles north, and ends at Clam Beach. The unique feature of the run is that the date and start time of the race are determined by the height of the tide on either the last Saturday of January or the first Saturday of February, since runners must cross the mouth of the Little River at Moonstone Beach. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers are stationed at the river crossing. For further information, call the Trinidad Chamber of Commerce at (707) 677-1610. www.trinidadtoclambeach.com Downtown, businesses line Central Avenue, offering dining and commercial services. The McKinleyville Shopping Center includes a grocery store, liquor store, bakery, cleaners, home furnishings shop, shoe store, gallery and picture framing store, children’s store, barber shop, hair salon, bank and more. It also features what is said to be the world’s largest totem pole made from a single tree. The pole, built in 1962, was carved from a coast redwood. The 160-foot tall pole weighs 57,000 pounds. Its bright colors accentuate the brilliant carved designs. East of Central Avenue, Pierson Park includes a picnic area, barbecue pits, public restrooms, gazebo and a “tot lot” children’s playground. Adjacent to the park is McKinleyville’s public library. During the first weekend of June, McKinleyville holds an Azalea Festival. The town turns out for a parade, dances, 10-kilometer race, barbecue and a classic car show. The McKinleyville High School hosts an Alumni Football Game. The local fire department sponsors a Firemen’s Muster and invited other local fire departments to participate in a hose coupling contest and old-fashioned bucket brigade. For further information, contact the McKinleyville Chamber of Commerce at (707) 839-2449. www.mckinleyvillepress.com/azalea.html Arts Alive! McKinleyville, held on the 3rd Friday of each month, is a gathering for art lovers, with local arts and crafts, jewelry, music and more. For more information, call (707) 834-6460. The first week of December is the Community Holiday Open House, which features live performances of holiday music, a craft show and special sales throughout town.

Surf or Play at Humboldt Beaches

Nothing expresses the beauty of Humboldt County quite like a trip to one of its amazing beaches. Enjoy a day of family fun at the seashore at Clam Beach, or challenge yourself to surf the waves at Moonstone Beach. Moonstone Beach is one of the most popular surfing spots in Humboldt County, and for good reason. In the summer, the ocean produces three- to five-foot swells, often going to 20 feet in the winter. A wide beach break provides ample room for a wide range of surfers to ride, and this stretch of ocean is great for beginners and seasoned surfers alike. But Moonstone Beach isn’t just for surfers; a wide, pristine beach, towering redwoods, sheer 100-foot cliffs and waves crashing against dozens of sea stacks make this a beautiful scenic spot for visitors. You may see whales, dolphins, seals, cormorants, pelicans and ospreys. Comb the beach for treasures, go fishing, climb the rocks, explore caves, ride a horse along the surf or play in the Little River where it enters the ocean. The view at this beach is considered one of the county’s most scenic. Moonstone Beach is located north of McKinleyville off Hwy 101 at the Westhaven exit. Clam Beach offers something for everyone. Keep your eyes open for a spectacular array of wildlife, or comb the shoreline for lovely stones, shells and driftwood strewn along the fine graysand beach. There are excellent clamming opportunities, and the on-shore fishing is exceptional too; come out and cast a line to see for yourself. When the wind picks up, the broad, flat beach is perfect for kite flying. Clam Beach is located 7 ½ miles north of Arcata off Hwy 101 at the Clam Beach Park off-ramp. For more information, call (707) 445-7651. www.redwoods.info/showrecord.asp?id=2974

If gardens are your interest, you’ll love Azalea State Nature Preserve, particularly in the spring when this 30-acre park is in full bloom. The beauty and scent of these multi-colored trumpet-shaped blossoms is intoxicating. Azaleas, a type of rhododendron, are often referred to as “the royalty of the garden.” The Western azalea, Rhododendron occidentale, thrives in Northern California. Azalea State Reserve offers hiking trails, as well as a picnic area. A short self-guided nature trail will teach you about azaleas and other plants of the North Coast area. To fully enjoy the beautiful Western azaleas, plan to visit in April or May when the blooms are at their peak. The reserve is located five miles north of Arcata off Hwy 101. Take the McKinleyville Central Avenue exit and drive two miles east on North Bank Road (Hwy 200) to a left turn into the reserve. There is no entrance fee, and the reserve is open from sunrise to sunset daily, year-round. www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=420

Hike the Hammond Coastal Trail

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 five miles long, stretching from Arcata north 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. A Times-Standard newspaper poll voted the trail the “best place to walk, jog or bike” in Humboldt County. There are two distinct sections of the trail. The southern part is a 3-mile-long paved path stretching from the Mad River Bridge to Widow White Creek in McKinleyville, featuring amazing views of the Pacific Ocean and the Mad River. After traversing the historic Mad River Bridge and ascending a short but fairly steep hill, stop by Roger’s Market, a small but well-stocked store, which serves as a refreshment center for trail travelers, complete with a deli and Wi-Fi. The northern section of the trail is mostly paved and leads from North Letz Ave. to Clam Beach County Park. Along the trail, you will 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. Find the Hammond Coastal Trail by taking the Hwy 101 Giuntoli Lane exit two miles north of Arcata, then head west on Janes Road to Mad River Beach. Or, on the McKinleyville end, take the Murray or School Road exits. For more information, call (707) 445-7651. www.redwoods.info/showrecord.asp?id=1600

Trinidad

hrouded in mist or dazzling in sunshine, beautiful Trinidad Bay is a jewel on the coast, 19 miles north of Eureka. Its rocky shoreline is protected by Trinidad Head. The bay is the focal point for the small village of Trinidad. It’s a peaceful hideaway, perfect for a weekend or weekday stopover for fishing, beachcombing, hiking, kayaking or just relaxing. There are dozens of private campgrounds, RV parks, cabins, bed and breakfast inns and vacation rentals nearby, as well as some of California’s most beautiful state parks. The first inhabitants of Trinidad were the native Yurok Indians who fished the waters from dugout canoes. Yurok descendants are still active in the community today. In 1917 the Trinidad Rancheria was established on land adjacent to Trinidad, and today descendants of the Yurok, Tolowa and Weott tribes occupy the Rancheria. In 1775, the Spanish explorer Don Bruno de Heceta dropped anchor in this small harbor and erected a wooden cross on the headland. Since he landed on Trinity Sunday, he christened the place “La Santisima Trinidad.” In 1913, the wooden cross was replaced by one of granite. This cross can be reached by hiking the trail around Trinidad Head. Expansive views can be seen from Trinidad Head, including Pewetole Island and Elk Head. On clear days, you will be able to see as far as Patrick’s Point and Eureka. Modern Trinidad has a population of approximately 435 in its incorporated city. The harbor is home port to a small fleet of commercial fishermen, and there are smokehouses that sell locally-caught salmon and albacore. Art, gift, clothing, quilt and other shops display the work of the many fine local artists and crafters. Charter boats are available at the Trinidad pier for whale watching or fishing. Anglers can drop a line right off the pier. For those who bring their own boats, a marine railway will launch your vessels for a fee. Small crafts such as kayaks and motorboats can be launched right from the beach. Kayaking allows for a more up-close experience with nature and wildlife. Trinidad Cove, with its sheltered waters and stunning natural scenery, is a favorite among kayakers. The rocky coast offers views of seals, sea lions, dozens of bird species and the occasional gray whale. For instructions, equipment rentals and a tour of Trinidad Cove, contact Kayak Zak’s at (707) 498-1130. Kayak Zak’s staff is specially trained and experienced to take anyone kayaking. They also offer Adaptive Paddling, which adapts the equipment and techniques for people with disabilities, preexisting conditions or joint pain. www.kayakzak.com Other attractions include the Trinidad Museum, Humboldt State University Marine Laboratory, Sumeg Village, a Yurok Indian village at Patrick’s Point State Park, and the Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse (recently made wheelchair accessible). The lighthouse offers a panoramic view of the harbor. A trail leads from it down to Indian Beach. To see more of the Trinidad area, exit Hwy 101 and travel the coastal roads. The old Hwy 101 South is now called Scenic Drive and offers spectacular views of the Humboldt County coastline. Just south of Trinidad on Scenic Drive is Cher-Ae Heights Casino, situated on a high bluff overlooking Trinidad Head and Trinidad Bay. The casino offers not only gaming, but two restaurants and a lounge, including the Sunset Restaurant; voted the best fine dining and most romantic restaurant in Humboldt County. Excellent dining is also available at the Trinidad Bay Eatery and Gallery, a favorite among locals. The Eatery has a cozy café and hometown hospitality, and is located in the heart of Trinidad, just steps to the Memorial Lighthouse and Trinidad Bay. North of Trinidad, Hwy 101 presents the traveler with some of the most spectacular scenery in the Pacific 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 water’s edge. Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®

Trinidad

Explore Trinidad Bay by Kayak

Trinidad’s coastline is impressive, as seen from the bluffs and cliffs overlooking the beach. But it’s even more beautiful from the water, paddling among seastacks and out into Trinidad Bay. The Trinidad Headland shelters the bay from incoming swells and waves, creating safe harbor for kayakers and recreational boaters, as well as some truly dramatic scenery. Kayakers will find miles of gorgeous coastline to investigate in Trinidad Bay, along with plenty of wildlife. Grey whales, orcas, and the occasional blue whale all migrate through this area, and a resident pod of humpback whales calls the Bay home; you may also see sea lions, seals, otters, and an abundance of shorebirds. Several local outfitters lead kayaking expeditions into Trinidad Bay, and can provide you with expert guides, instruction, equipment and kayaks. First-time kayakers and seasoned veterans alike will enjoy an expedition into these waters in search of wildlife and adventure. Humboats offers a fascinating 3-hour tour through the bay. Your trip will begin on the beach, where Humboats’ professional instructors will give you a first-rate kayaking lesson. Wetsuits and splashwear are provided, and Humboats guides have over 15 years of experience guiding whale-watching trips in the bay. For more information, call (707) 443-5157. www.humboats.com North Coast Adventures offers sea kayaking tours, instruction and rentals on the Humboldt Coast. For information, call (707) 825-0266. www.kayaknorcal.com Kayak Zak’s offers tours of Trinidad Bay and Big Lagoon, whale and bird migration trips, kayak and equipment rentals, instruction and clinics.

Explore Patrick’s Point State Park

Patrick’s Point State Park is located in the heart of Redwood Country. If seeing spectacular panoramas, rocky cliffs, hiking trails and sandy beaches are on your agenda, don’t pass up this wonderful experience. Six miles of hiking trails thread through the park. With acres of dense forest stretching over an ocean headland, stroll under a canopy of spruce, hemlock, pine, fir and red alder trees. Wildflower meadows offer spectacular vistas. The Rim Trail, which follows an old Indian path over the park’s rocky promontories, provides spectacular views of the coast and serves as a great lookout for whale watching. The Octopus Tree Trail takes you through a grove of old-growth Sitka spruce. Hike along the broad beaches and explore tidepools, cast a fishing rod, search for agates and driftwood, spot sea lions and gaze at magnificent sunsets. Short, steep hikes will take you to the tops of Ceremonial Rock and Lookout Rock, while Wedding Rock and Patrick’s Point offer breathtaking ocean vistas. History buffs will enjoy the re-created Yurok Village that includes traditional Native American family houses, a sweat house, changing houses, a redwood canoe and a dance house. There is even a native plant garden. If you can’t bear to leave the park and want to spend one more day, pitch a tent at one of the many campsites. There are also three group picnic areas. Patrick’s Point State Park is located 25 miles north of Eureka off Hwy 101. Reservations are recommended for camping. For more information, call (707) 677-3570.

Check out Trinidad State Beach

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 wildflowers. Stand on the shore and gaze out upon the panorama of rugged rock formations, often shrouded in mist, jutting out of the Pacific 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, flowering plant called the sea fig. There are miles of nearby hiking and horseback riding trails. If you enjoy fishing, 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.

Go on a Klamath River Jet Boat Tour

The Klamath River is known around the world as a beautiful, pristine river that runs from Altamont in Klamath County of Southern Oregon, dips into Humboldt County, and continues all the way to the Pacific Ocean near the town of photo by Gregg Gardiner Klamath in southern Del Norte County. Take pleasure in this picturesque river from the comfortable seat of a jet boat. Set out on a two-hour trip from Klamath’s estuary called “Rekwoi,” which will take you up the river, powered by twin jets. The round-trip tour is more than 45 miles. The captain and narrator will tell you all about the Klamath River’s history, Native American culture and the area’s wildlife. From the boat, you may even get the chance to see some of these creatures, such as bears feasting on berries and fish from the shore, ospreys, hawks and eagles nesting, or black-tail deer and elk wandering through the trees. People of all ages will enjoy the sights. Every once in a while, you’ll have the opportunity to take some pictures. Tours are given between May and September, three times daily. It can be quite cool in the morning and evening, so you’ll want to wear layers that can be taken off when it warms up in the afternoon. Reservations are recommended, but drop-ins are welcome. Personalized and special group tours can be accommodated. The Jet Boat Tour office is located on Hwy 101, five miles south of Trees of Mystery, just over the border into Del Norte County.

See the Hoopa Tribal Museum

Thousands of years before the Europeans ever reached the coast of California, Native Americans lived a rich and cultured life in the area now known as Humboldt County. Today, their rich history is preserved and exhibited at the Hoopa Tribal Museum. This tremendous collection displays the heritage of the Yurok, Hoopa and Karuk tribes that once dominated the area. You will be amazed at the master craftsmanship that these people displayed in their basketry. These wonderful artifacts are so well crafted that they have lasted hundreds of years. Check out the redwood dugout canoes that are half sides of redwood trees, which have been hollowed out to create naturally constructed canoes. Also, be sure to see all the hand tools that were used by the tribesmen to create the many artifacts on exhibit. What is even more special about this museum is the fact that the Tribal Museum is a “living museum.” Nearly all the artifacts that are housed in the museum are on loan from Native Americans that use them for many unique rituals and ceremonies that are still a part of their lives. You will love learning about the exciting and storied past of these amazing cultures. The Hoopa Tribal Museum is located on Hwy 96 in the shopping center in the town of Hoopa. For more information, call the museum at (530) 625-4211. www.hoopa-nsn.gov/departments/museum.htm

Drive Bigfoot Scenic Highway

There are few drives more beautiful in Humboldt County than the one along the Bigfoot Scenic Byway, also known as Hwy 96. The road begins in Willow Creek, which is also known as the Gateway to Bigfoot Country, and ends 89 miles later in Happy Camp. Along the way, you will go through a region that boasts the most sightings of Sasquatch anywhere in the nation. Impressive mountain ranges on either side, wild rushing rivers and plenty of opportunities for recreation await you on your journey. There are many quaint towns where you can stretch your legs, grab a bite to eat, learn more about the local culture and maybe even partake in a Bigfoot-related festival. Wildlife viewing is also excellent along the striking byway. You might have the chance to spot elk, deer, river otters, minks, bald eagles, peregrine falcons and maybe Bigfoot himself. Whitewater rafting, mountain biking and hiking are great in this area. You will go past several wilderness areas. Backpackers love the easy access to Marble Mountain Wilderness, where you can hop onto the epic Pacific Crest Trail or relax by the side of one of the 89 glacial lakes.

Willow Creek

Sunshine, mountains, rivers and outdoor activities draw people to Willow Creek. Formerly a center for mining and logging operations, Willow Creek is now a center for summer recreation, retail business and is a thriving retirement community. The Trinity River is clear, clean, and beautiful. It’s perfect for swimming, rafting, tubing, kayaking, canoeing and ﬁshing. There are many stretches, some with calm swimming holes and others with raging whitewater rapids. Local rafting companies offer guided whitewater trips for safe but thrilling rides, and the U.S. Forest Service can advise on quieter areas for wading and inner tubing. Willow Creek is known as Bigfoot Country, after several reported sightings of ape-like creatures similar to Canada’s “Sasquatch.” The Willow Creek China Flat Museum, which houses displays of local artifacts, has a new wing dedicated to an extensive collection of Bigfoot research and memorabilia. The museum is marked by a large redwood statue of Bigfoot. It is located just off Hwy 299, and is open on weekends and holidays from May through the ﬁrst weekend in October.

Junction City

The gateway of the majestic Trinity Alps, this scenic roadside community retains the ﬂavor of the Old West. There are no stop lights, or parking meters. However, for travelers, there is a road stop with a gas station, several shops and beautiful water views along the winding Hwy 299.

Weaverville

Highway 299 continues east into Trinity County and the county seat of Weaverville. Weaverville was an important hub for miners during the late 1800s and early 1900s, and still retains its Wild West feel. The town is nestled at the base of the Trinity Alps Wilderness Area, a 500,000 acre protected area that is host to many a backpacker, equestrian, bear and mountain lion. Today, Weaverville is a recreation hub, particularly for those who wish to explore the Trinity Alps and Marble Mountains. Weaverville’s historic downtown, with its old buildings, quaint shops and charming atmosphere, keeps locals and visitors busy with socializing, shopping and more.

Trinity County

Trinity County was established in 1850. The county took its name from the Trinity River, named in 1845 by Major Pearson B. Reading, who was under the mistaken impression that the stream emptied into Trinidad Bay. Trinity is the English version of Trinidad. Miners later discovered the river actually empties into the Klamath River. The Trinity River Basin has evolved from its early Gold Rush days to a new and vibrant arts and recreation area. Camping, kayaking, rafting, fishing and hiking are among the favorite activities of the area. Trinity County is known for its stunning views of the Trinity Alps during the wintertime. Anglers from all over the state come to catch winter run steelhead or salmon, from drift boats or from the end of a fly rod on the Trinity River. Along the riverbanks, visitors can spot bald eagles, bears and osprey. Today, more than 13,000 people live in the county. With more than 2,000,000 acres of county land available, there is plenty of open space for the area’s inhabitants. The Trinity River Scenic Byway, also known as Hwy 299, is a breathtaking stretch of road and a must for any amateur photographer. A wealth of seasonal activities draws many new visitors to the area each year. Where gold miners once toiled in the mines all day, people are now fishing, taking river-rafting tours or just relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking scenery. Visitors can enjoy several day activities by driving along Hwy 299 and checking out several campgrounds and turnouts along the way. Trinity County is what the locals call “God’s country” and once you have traveled and experienced the area, you’ll understand why.

Due to its varied terrain, finding the right spot to settle in Humboldt County can take some study. Properties range from mountain ranches to city apartments, from remote acreage to oceanside cottages, all of it at prices a fraction of those in the San Francisco Bay Area, Silicon Valley, Sacramento or other urban areas in California. However, low interest rates created a lot of activity in the local real estate market and produced increases in prices from previous years, with many homes selling for well over $300,000. The median price of a single family home in Humboldt County in the first quarter of 2001 was $135,750. By 2008, the median price had risen to $303,500. Excellent Faculty & Staff Local real estate agents divide the county into six regions, which include South County, Mid General Education & Technical Training County, South Bay, North Bay, Northwest County and Northeast County. Each has its own distinct personality and attributes. 883 W.

South County has a Mediterranean climate with summertime fax: (707) 464-6867 temperatures in the 80s. Winters are wet but mild, with only occasional snow or frost. It is a great location for those who enjoy fishing and nature. The population of the whole region is only about 15,000. Properties include modest homes, country acreage, working ranches and seaside land. To the north in Mid County, the area is still mostly rural, but also includes the vibrant community of Fortuna and the nearby Victorian Village of Ferndale, both near Hwy 101. The eastern section of the region is mostly wild country along Hwy 36 and the Van Duzen River. Fortuna, however, is a rapidly growing town with new housing developments being added to its existing housing. Fortuna is Myrtle Ave. • Eureka, CA 95501 • (707) 443-1234 Fax: (707) 443-5309 • ads@101things.com • www.101th 101 Things To Do® • 2383 generally sunnier than nearby Eureka or Ferndale, both of which experience coastal fog. The friendly community has an attractive municipal park, a riverside community center and a diverse commercial core. 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 bay is a draw for sailors, kayakers and bird watchers. The college town of Arcata is in the North Bay region of the county along with McKinleyville, the county’s fastest growing community. Arcata has consistently higher real estate prices than the rest of the county due primarily to Humboldt State University. With an enrollment of approximately 7,500 students, rental properties are rarely vacant. Furthermore, geographical restrictions leave little room for new housing in the attractive city. Lots on the forested hills above town are slowly being developed and offer panoramic vistas of ocean, coastline and rivers. There has also been some development near the Arcata Bottoms, an agricultural greenbelt to the west of town. Arcata has a unique wildlife sanctuary on the bay as well as a central plaza that hosts numerous annual celebrations.

Mad River Community Hospital A History of Caring for the Community

teeped in health facility history and rich with interesting changes and progression, Mad River Community Hospital continues to grow, relentlessly striving for excellence in patient care. The road to achievement has not always been easy, as challenges have been presented throughout the hospital’s history. In fact, it was in 1911, when the original Trinity Hospital was built at the corner of 13th and G streets. At the time, the hospital had 25 beds, a nursery and two sunrooms. To ensure that maximum lighting was available for surgery, the operating room was situated on the top floor. During that time and for twelve years running, a true pioneer by the name of Dr. George McKinnon ran the hospital, but by 1923, he sold it to Dr. Purlenky. By 1925, the Arcata Chamber of Commerce raised funds to purchase the hospital from Dr. Purlenky, which was then staffed with four doctors and four nurses. It was in 1927 when the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange took over the hospital’s operation and ran the facility until a tragic fire swept through the hospital on February 3, 1943, causing extensive damage. But the community came together with far-reaching contributions

and support and Trinity Hospital was rebuilt in 1944 on a city block on 14th Street. Operations resumed under the jurisdiction of the Sisters of St. Joseph. By 1968, two factors set the stage for what appeared to be the final chapter of Trinity Hospital. The first was Humboldt State College announcing their request for funds to be provided in the 1969-1970 budgets for the purchase of the Trinity Hospital site. And the second was when the Sisters of St. Joseph opted to consolidate their Eureka-Arcata operations into one hospital. Citing the lack of state and federal funds for expansion to a new site, the Sisters declared they would close the hospital on June 30, 1969. It was then that Arcata Mayor Ward Falor called a town meeting, at which time the Trinity Hospital Action Committee was formed as a means of representing the future of Trinity Hospital. The committee requested help from American Hospital Management Corporation (AHMC) in building a new hospital as well as operating Trinity Hospital until a new facility could be built. During that period, Allen Shaw was President of AHMC, and he

was very impressed with the way the community and physicians rallied in support of the hospital. As a result, in the fall of 1968, AHMC and the members of the Trinity Hospital Medical Staff purchased 47 acres for the new hospital site from Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Machado, located at the north end of Arcata. Community-wide efforts were underway to purchase the old Trinity Hospital from the Sisters, and the arduous, political process of gaining State approval to build a new hospital began. By 1969 and with no interruption of services or employee layoffs, AHMC assumed the operation of Trinity Hospital from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, with the addition of the County’s first Cardiac Care Unit. Only three years later in 1972, without the assistance of state or federal funds, Mad River Hospital opened its doors as patients from Trinity Hospital were transferred to the new facility. Forty-one years ago, the future of an Arcata hospital seemed uncertain, but since that time, AHMC has devoted itself entirely to the North Coast Community. To this day, Mad River Community Hospital remains deeply committed to ensuring a choice in community-based health care on the North Coast. As a health care facility, Mad River Community Hospital provides comprehensive services, which include its well-regarded Birthing Center, offering parents-to-be customized care and support. Sharing their expertise are capable nurses who delight in welcoming new babies into the world. The hospital also features a top-notch Cardiopulmonary Services Department that provides respiratory care for everyone from newborns to the elderly. Other significant services include an Emergency Department, which provides 24-hour care, as well as Laboratory and Pathology Services that offer round-the-clock assistance complete with comprehensive surgical care that is always available. A first-rate Pain Clinic provides board-certified pain management, plus the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Services Department features physical, occupational, neurological and speech therapies. The Radiology Department is equipped with a MRI, CT scan and x-ray equipment. Moreover, the hospital offers extensive services in the Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine department, which specializes in the treatment of acute and chronic non-healing wounds. In addition, the hospital provides a Home Health Care Department with an expert team of at-home specialists. Furthermore, the services of the Women’s Health Center offers comprehensive and revolutionary diagnostic services including osteoporosis assessment as well as digital mammography for the early detection of breast cancer. “We have great people and we have great medicine,” said Doug Shaw, CEO of Mad River Community Hospital. “We’re a locally controlled hospital and therefore we can focus on the needs of our community.”

endocino County, Humboldt County’s 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 in neighboring 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 Eel River are close to Laytonville and provide excellent salmon, steelhead and trout fishing. Visitors may see such varied wildlife such 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 and motels. It hosts a rodeo in June. 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 fishermen in the late fall, when salmon swim upstream to spawn. is The population of Leggett fluctuates from about 350 to 500, depending on the season. Summer temperatures can hover in the 80s and 90s, but the Eel River is always nearby for cooling off. Drive-Thru Tree Park features the Chandelier Tree as the centerpiece of 200 No coupon—just have a valid Leggett’s ID. acres of preserved virgin redwood forest. Nearby Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area offers camping, picnicking, hiking, fishing and swimming in the south fork of the Eel River. The park is one mile north of Leggett. The park’s three campgrounds contain a total of 162 campsites. Amenities include wheelchair accessible restrooms with hot showers. There are also hiking campsites. No waiting in lineand biking The Peg House is the perfect pit-stop on the Hwy 101 journey. With a full service deli, serving espresso drinks, stop for treats, groceries, gas and diesel. Or pick up travel books and maps at the area info booth. There is plenty of parking for autos and RVs. (707) 925-6444. Piercy is the northernmost community in Mendocino County, and is situated right at the entrance to Richardson Grove State Park, one of the most popular of the area’s redwood parks. The park contains 1,500 acres and is next to the Eel River. On the Hwy 101 drive through northern Mendocino, on the way to Humboldt County, be sure to stop at Confusion Hill, where seeing is believing—or not. And don’t miss the One Log House, or the Grandfather Tree, all worth some R&R time away from the car. Go to page 15 for more information.

estled 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 city’s population is approximately 15,500, and the greater Ukiah area has about 35,300 residents. Logging has always been a major industry in the area. During the Gold Rush Era when the booming city of San Francisco bought all the lumber it could get, Ukiah began to expand. The lumber rush enriched Ukiah, which has grown to become the financial, business, medical and service center for Mendocino, Lake, northern Sonoma and southern Humboldt counties. Ukiah is a blend of an historical community of the 1800s and a modern city. Part of Ukiah’s historical tradition are the descendants of the Pomo Indians, who still live and work in the area. In many Ukiah neighborhoods, beautifully restored Victorian homes are plentiful. Lake Mendocino is located five miles north of Ukiah, on Hwy 20 east bcr.c om of Hwy 101. There are two large boat mpany, ww w.u iah Brewing Co courtesy of Uk ramps, and with a surface area of 1,822 acres, the lake is great place for wake boarding, water skiing or jet skiing. Fishing is a popular activity and the lake yields an abundance of bass, bluegill, crappie and catfish. There are several campgrounds around the lake, with over 300 campsites that offer camping for tents, trailers and motor homes.

It is the home of the famous Skunk Train, a historical logging railroad that now takes travelers on a redwood-lined route from Fort Bragg to Willits.

Highway 199 travels east out of Crescent City, California and into Josephine County. The picturesque highway is known as the Smith River Scenic Byway along the portions that parallel the Wild and Scenic waterway of that name. After crossing into Josephine County, the road leads to Cave Junction, a cozy community named for the nearby Oregon Caves National Monument. Several family-run wineries offer tastings just off Hwy 46, which leads to the caves and its historic chateau. Tours of the caves are available March through November. For more information visit www.oregoncavesoutfitters.com. Further east, Hwy 199 intersects with Interstate 5 at the Josephine County seat of Grants Pass (population 23,000). The city is also situated on the Rogue River and local outfitters offer jet boat trips, as well as raft and kayak excursions. Josephine County sits amidst the foothills of the Cascade, Siskiyou and Coast mountains, so hiking, fishing, picnicking and other outdoor activities are abundant. The Grants Pass Visitors Center will provide historic walking tour brochures. Thirty miles southeast of Grants Pass is Medford, the county seat of Jackson County. Medford, with a population close to 64,000, is one of the largest cities in Southern Oregon. Medford has a vast array of dining, lodging and shopping opportunities. At the north end of Medford, Hwy 62 intersects with Interstate 5 and leads northeast to Crater Lake National Park. Highway 62 is so much more than just the road to Crater Lake National Park — it’s an adventure all its own, unfurling across 104 miles of rolling hills, winding rivers, spectacular waterfalls and stately forests, with plenty of attractions enticing you to explore the beautiful Upper Rogue Region. Nature lovers will find plenty to do here, with ample campsites and a variety of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. The Rogue River — along with the Lost Creek Reservoir and numerous smaller creeks and lakes — provides the perfect playground for swimming, fishing, boating and rafting. In the winter, the region is blanketed in crisp white snow, perfect for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. Local outfitters and guide services will help to make your outdoor adventure safe and exciting, and the area’s hotels and resorts provide the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of exploration.
