Portions of the forest lie in four different counties, with a large portion in Humboldt County. The things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see when visiting Six Rivers are awe-inspiring. You have the opportunity to hike or horseback ride along trails through the rugged mountains, stands of redwoods and grasslands. The elevation ranges from sea level to 7,000 feet. Enjoy great fishing for steelhead and salmon along the 1,500 miles of streams and in the Smith, Klamath, Trinity, Mad, Van Duzen and Eel rivers. Whitewater rafting and kayaking are abundant in these monster rivers. The wildlife lover will take pleasure in the possibility of spotting an endangered bald eagle, peregrine falcon or McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rock cress, along with many other rare animals and plants. The area is also known as a place to reportedly spot the legendary Bigfoot. Camping is another popular activity in Six Rivers; spend a night under the stars in the beautiful wild. 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 Highway 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
Out in 5 Camp Humboldt County Whether you sleep under the stars or enjoy the comforts of your home-away-from-home RV, Humboldt County has some of the best and varied camping youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever encounter.
courtesy Bureau of Land Management
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. If beach camping is what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after, then Humboldt County has that in abundance, too. Or camp along a lake, river or lagoon. Camping out among the redwoods is particularly popular. Luckily, redwoods are easy to come by in Humboldt County. Choose from Humboldt Redwoods State Park and Richardson Grove State Park in the south, Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park to the east and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and Redwood National Park to the north. But camping isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only about sleeping. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about hiking, kayaking, surfing, fishing, flora- and fauna-viewing and so much more. Humboldt County has all these activities and a temperate climate perfect for sleeping comfortably outside. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the rain gear in the winter. And, wherever you decide to camp, make sure to be respectful of any wildlife rules. For more information on the available campsites in the area, turn to Page 24 or call the Humboldt County Convention and Visitors Bureau at (800) 346-3482. www.redwoods.info Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ÂŽ
BIGFOOT RAFTING on a Guided 6 Go Nature Adventure It can be rewarding to head out on your own to one of the many hiking trails that crisscross the rugged wilderness of Humboldt County, soaking in the amazing diversity of plant and animal life. But it can be difficult to get a scientific understanding of all the things you’re seeing along the way. If you’re interested in learning about the things around you, reserve a guided nature tour. A number of guides offer their expert service and experience to curious visitors of Humboldt County.
holes of the HSU course snake through towering redwoods, while the 9-hole Warren Creek course stretches along the south bank of the Mad River and features long, grassy fairways. 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. And Manila offers the Bay Course. A number of merchants cater to disc golf players. However, Discus Eurekas is the only store that exclusively carries disc golf supplies.
Join us for an action-packed, guided whitewater adventure on the wild and scenic Trinity River. A perfect trip for first-timers & seasoned veterans. Reservations recommended. Super competitive rates. Huge raft and kayak rental department.

Out-of-towners and new players can also find a wealth of information about course locations and disc selection from the store’s staff. The local disc golf club, Par Infinity, is also a good source for information. Call (707) 445-8727 to reach Discus Eurekas, or visit the Par Infinity Web site. www.parinfinity.org

Try Your Hand at Disc Golf
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. The “clubs” vary in weight and style, each one suited for a different length and height of a shot. Another difference between conventional golf and disc golf is the price. For the cost of the discs themselves, anyone can go to a free public disc golf course and play as often as they wish. Humboldt County is home to six disc golf courses. Arcata features two. One is 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. The 18

Shelter Cove and the Lost Coast I n the 1920s, when they built the Coast Highway in Northern California, engineers decided a stretch of coast from Northern Mendocino County through the King Range in Humboldt County was too rugged for a road. Thus, this expanse of magnificent coastline was soon isolated and became known as the Lost Coast. The small community of Shelter Cove, on the sea in far Southern Humboldt County just below the King Range, lies at the core of the Lost Coast. Being cut off from the rest of California has helped Shelter Cove become what it is today: A peaceful seaside resort with peerless scenery that is nirvana for outdoor enthusiasts. A relatively flat point set amidst a long stretch of sheer ocean cliffs, Shelter
Cove gets its name from a gulf formed by Point Delgada to the south. Getting to Shelter Cove can be an adventure. It’s a winding 23-mile drive from Redway, off Highway 101. But the drive is well worth it for those who like to fish, crab, dive for abalone or watch for whales. Photographers, hikers and nature lovers have plenty to do as well. Shelter Cove, which lies inside the King Range National Conservation Area, is in California’s redwood country and the thick 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 Sand 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 24-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. Thus, this region is wilderness-like and lightly populated. There are no street lights in Shelter Cove so the nights are dark and the moonlight shimmers on the waves without any competition but the stars. One way to spend a romantic evening in Shelter Cove is to order a takeout pizza or pasta dish and carry it down to the beach with a bottle of wine. Shelter Cove features amenities for the traveler such as a campground and RV park, several inns and motels, restaurants, a cocktail
lounge, a coffeehouse, markets and a daylight landing strip.
SHELTER COVE HISTORY The Sinkyone Indians, who inhabited Shelter Cove for thousands of years before Euro-American settlers arrived, called their home on the sea “Tangating.” The Sinkyone in Shelter Cove thrived by harvesting the wealth of the ocean. They fished with nets, spears and hooks. They gathered seaweed and snatched limpets off the rocks. They clubbed and speared seals and sea lions, and they ate marine birds, including the cormorant. There are no preserved Sinkyone villages at Shelter Cove. These native people quickly died out or dispersed when settlers began arriving in the 1850s. But some remnants of their existence remains. At Abalone Point, off lower Pacific Drive, the shell bits underneath the grass are evidence of the Sinkyone’s once-thriving society.

he Kings Range National Conservation Area is unlike any other place in the continental United States. Here, in this 35-mile long, 64,000-acre stretch of coastal wilderness, the mountains rise directly out of the sea. King Peak tops out at 4,087 feet. They extend 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 seaside. Seals, sea lions and a complexity 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 herd of Roosevelt elk roams the area. 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. It 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 King’s Range management offices in Whitethorn, (707) 986-5400, or in Arcata, (707) 825-2300. www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/arcata/ kingrange/index.html
KING RANGE WARNING Be advised, you will be in a wild wilderness area with slippery trails, predatory and sometimes poisonous wildlife with lots of poison oak. Keep vigilant and never turn your back on the ocean! Stay on the trails, plan ahead and be prepared. Call 707-825-2300 or check the BLM website at www.blm.gov/ca/arcata/ Be safe and come back again!

16 Range National Conservation Area
The King Range National Conservation Area, also known as the Lost Coast, is a beautiful tract of relatively untouched land covering about 64,000 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 4,087 feet above sea level, is only a mere three miles from the coast. The range has magnificent black-sand beaches, which are perfect for tidepooling, beachcombing, surfing, abalone diving or fishing.

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 Highway 101 and can 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.

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 trails. 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 blacksand beaches on the other? For the adventurous hiker, the trail offers the perfect two- or threeday 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 trail is well-marked, but it is recommended that any hikers who aren’t familiar with the trails to bring a map of the area and a tide table along. Maps are available for $5 at the Arcata Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management at 1695 Herndon Road, Arcata. 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 Highway 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 and a shuttle service, call Lost Coast Trail Transport Service at (707) 986-9909 or Lost Coast Shuttle at (707) 986-7437 or (707) 223-1547.

Fish the Waters of the Pacific Ocean
Shelter Cove is one of California’s premiere ocean fishing destinations. Fishermen come for the salmon, which come 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 the 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 Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®

great rivers in Northern California. Because of its late opening date on the first of January, this is primarily a steelhead river, and the entire river is catch and release. In order to preserve its pristine setting, all fishermen and visitors are asked to take particular care to leave the river as it is. There are just over 25 miles of fishable waters on the Mattole, from the mouth of the river to the little town of Honeydew. A number of smaller creeks branch off the river between those two points. You will also find a number of hiking trails that meander around the waters of the Mattole and a few more that come out at the dramatic mouth of the river. Most of the land is located within the Kings Range National Conservation Area. For more information, contact the California Bureau of Land Management at (707) 986-5400.

REAL ESTATE
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 on Highway 101 as well as thousands of rural residents in the surrounding countryside. Garberville and its sister city Redway are also the gateway to myriad 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, of course, to the 31-milelong 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 it’s 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 presentday 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 is both a stop-off point and destination for travelers. Although Garberville and Redway get more rain in the winter than northern cities such as Eureka and Arcata, the towns make up for it in the summer, when sunshine is the order of the day. During the summer months, temperatures can reach 100 degrees, although 80 to 90 degrees is more common. And, if it gets too hot, the Eel River is nearby to provide cool relief. The town is well placed on Highway 101, 200 miles north of San Francisco and 70 miles
south of Eureka. Garberville’s amenities include an airport and hospital. Garberville and Redway contain about a dozen motels, nearly 15 restaurants and approximately 600 RV, private and public campsite spaces. The area has its share of annual celebrations, among which are the Redwood Run, Jazz on the Lake, a summer reggae festival, and the Summer and Winter Arts and Music Festivals. Anglers have long sought out the area’s local waterways. However, due to dwindling stocks, sometimes there are 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. Golfers will enjoy the picturesque ninehole Benbow Golf Course, directly across Highway 101 from the historic Benbow Inn and the Benbow Lake State Recreation Area. 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 flat lands, 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 or check the website at www. sohumpark.org. The quaint and vibrant communities of Garberville and Redway are famous for the big-time yearly events that are celebrated in the area. The towns, which are only a few miles apart, stage musical and theatrical events that

towns away. Look for the tall post marking the depth of the floodwater. Most travelers to Weott come to see the visitor’s center at Humboldt Redwoods State Park, just south of town. The town of Redcrest began in 1918 as a logging town. Until recently, it was home to the Eel River Sawmill, the last active sawmill on the Avenue of the Giants. Its location on high ground protected Redcrest from the devastating floods that wiped out the lower-lying towns. The northernmost community on the Avenue is called Pepperwood. It isn’t a town as much as a collection of die-hard residents. Many of them sell produce during the summer. Pepperwood is a low-lying area that used to include stores, a school, church, garages, gas stations and bars. The flood of 1955 eliminated much of that, and the flood of 1964 took care of anything that was left. The residents who remain appreciate the beauty of their home. Dozens of tourist-oriented courtesy of Redwood State Park Interpretive Center, Weott attractions cater to the streams of visitors who arrive each year Squaw Creek in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park to see the redwoods. is an important spawning tributary for
he Avenue of the Giants offers more than the majesty of towering redwoods. The 31-mile route also passes through several small hamlets that give a glimpse into the history of Humboldt County. The towns along the Avenue, once closely tied to the timber industry, now rely more on the tourists who come to see the redwoods, swim in the Eel River and visit Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
salmon and steelhead.
At the south end of the Avenue of the Giants is Phillipsville, which has restaurants, a grocery store, a motel, numerous visitor attractions and several river access points. Further north is the town of Miranda, once the center of 51 different logging operations that thrived through the 1950s. The small, local mills have, for the most part, disappeared. Others were taken over by large companies such as the Louisiana-Pacific Corporation or Pacific Lumber, but they, too, eventually closed. Myers Flat, north of Miranda, is a town that hung on to its mill into the 1970s. It was once the location of the Morrison and Jackson Lumber Co. sawmill. The mill employed 85 people at its peak, but finally shut down in 1978 after being sold to the Georgia-Pacific Company. The town of Weott is not located at its original site.

NATURAL ATTRACTIONS • The Chimney Tree, a 78-foot redwood gutted by fire in 1914, is still growing along the Avenue in Phillipsville. Adjacent to the Chimney Tree is Hobbiton U.S.A., adapted from events in J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy trilogy. • The Shrine Drive-Thru Tree in Myers Flat has a sign that reads: “The widest car made can drive through this tree.” • The 2,500-year-old Eternal Tree House in Redcrest is a 20-foot room in a living redwood first used by Native Americans and later by trappers, hunters and travelers for shelter. • The Immortal Tree, which has withstood lightning strikes, fire, flood and the logger’s axe, still stands near Redcrest. • Founders Grove, dedicated to the founders of the Save-the-Redwoods League, contains the 346-foot tall Founders Tree and the Dyerville Giant. The Dyerville Giant was the tallest tree in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, but on March 24, 1991, it fell and now lies on the forest floor. Even in repose, however, the tree is an impressive sight.

Miranda T
he rustic town of Miranda, which in Latin means “to be admired,” was once a principal stop on the long and arduous automobile trek from San Francisco to Eureka. The town lies to the east of Highway 101, making it one of a few almost-forgotten towns worth exploring at your leisure along Avenue of the Giants Highway. Surrounded by scenic redwoods, there is much to admire about Miranda. This town of about 350 people, near the southern entrance to Avenue of the Giants and less than 10 miles from Humboldt Redwoods State Park, now boasts a growing community of artists. The photos by Gregg Gardiner town also offers lodging, dining and shopping amenities not available inside the park.

Humboldt Redwoods 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 South Fork of the river skirts the eastern edge of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. During the summer months, the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 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 centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking lot or Burlington campground. High Rock is another access point 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, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
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 Yukon gold fields.
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 gourmet experiences 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 areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Flatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;stageâ&#x20AC;? ran through this charming riverside village.

The camp also includes day-use areas with tie rails. Perhaps the best the camp has to offer is access to more than 50 miles of trails through the redwoods. Many of the trails are multiuse, open to hikers and mountain bikers, so caution is urged. The park is also home to black bear and mountain lions.

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 Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giant trees. He crossed the country four times in his lumbering motor home. Today, the Travel-Log is in beautifully restored condition.

Avenue of the Giants Julia Morgan’s 29 Visit Four-Fireplace Early in the 20th century, women’s civic groups around California organized a statewide campaign to protect the redwoods in Humboldt County. In response, the California Federation of Women’s Clubs purchased a grove of giant redwoods next to the South Fork of the Eel River.
Women’s Clubs Hearthstone, it was built of native stone and redwood timber. Morgan’s biographer wrote that the Hearthstone is a symbol for “the untouched nature of the forest and the federation’s scrupulous protection of this heritage.” The California Federation of Women’s Clubs Grove is easy to reach by car, and is a popular picnic place. Take Avenue of the Giants about three miles north from the Visitor Center. A sign marks a narrow road that runs to the west several hundred yards into the forest, to a parking lot. The hearthstone sits under several tall trees, a few feet back from a bank that overlooks the Eel River. There are several picnic tables, including two built of solid redwood big enough to accommodate a family reunion. This is a popular spot for weddings.

In 1931, renowned San Francisco architect Julia Morgan, designer of the Hearst Castle, fashioned a monument to celebrate saving the grove from the loggers’ saw. Morgan’s monument stands today in the federation’s grove — a peculiar four-sided hearth that features fireplaces facing each direction. Officially called the California Federation of
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 the 50s and 60s, the water only rose to the back door of the Riverwood, sparing it to become a cult classic. The original structure, thought to have been built in the 1930’s, has rocked as a roadhouse ever since. The Riverwood is one of only a handful remaining roadhouses among scores that populated old Highway 101. It is

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.

Drive Through a Tree
During the early 1920s, promoters of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry devised a clever way to entice visitors to see the captivating beauty of the redwood forests; cut a tunnel through a redwood and charge people a fee to drive their cars through to the other side. It was a great photo opportunity that quickly caught on. In time, there were drive-thru trees, drive-on trees, walk-through trees and even step-thru stumps.Three trees with open trunks remain, one near Humboldt Redwoods State Park on Highway 101. All are privately owned, charge a nominal entrance fee and are open daily year-round.

The Chandelier Drive-Thru Tree in Leggett was hollowed out in the 1930s. The tree itself stands 315 feet high and has a diameter of 21 feet. The tunnel measures about six-feet wide by nine-feet tall.

Scotia...
S
cotia is without a doubt the last chance that travelers will have to see a “company” town in America. Scotia and its neighbor Rio Dell are developing a future together. Pacific Lumber Company (PALCO), which created and ownes the town of Scotia, is divesting itself of ownership. The village is quaint, steeped in history, and a wonderful stop along the way to or from Eureka. The town of Scotia was built by the lumber company and included all of the major necessities residents needed. The company helped build a grocery store, pharmacy, bank and more. An inn was also built, which provided lodging for visiting executives and families. The inn was closed for a number of years, but reopened in early 2007. Scotia was founded in 1863 as Forestville and was renamed 25 years later. At the time of
its founding, Scotia was just one of many company towns across the Pacific Northwest, many of which closed down during the Great Depression. Scotia, however, survived this period, as well as outlasted the environmental battles of modern times, which culminated in 1999 with Pacific Lumber agreeing to a conservation deal, the Headwaters Agreement. In 2006, the company announced that it was to sell the homes and the shops by 2007. Regarding its legal status, it suggested that Scotia become part of Rio Dell, which is across the Eel River. Employees and retirees who live in houses in town have been paying rent, but Pacific Lumber Company wants to sell the houses to the occupants. The town’s Fire Department is staffed by volunteers. Scotia consists of 274 two- to four-bedroom cottages occupied by retirees and employees

Fortuna F
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. The region boasted prime resources — big photo by Rich Bickel

Visit Friendly Fortuna
One of the great spots undiscovered by many Humboldt County tourists is the pleasant town of Fortuna. National Geographic referred to the region as “one of the top unspoiled beautiful vacation destinations in America,” and Fortuna refers to itself as “the Friendly City.” With just over 12,000 residents, this cozy little town is ideal for a vacation away from all the fast-paced worries of big-city life. The lumber and dairy industries help keep this down-home town thriving. The area around Fortuna seems to have more cattle, sheep and goats than it has people. Try some of the best locally produced dairy foods you may ever taste, made right here in the quiet and courteous Fortuna area. Head out from the town in any direction and you’ll be presented with the splendid, raw, uncut beauty of nature. Fortuna perches next to the redwood forest and within a few miles of the mighty Pacific Ocean. The beaches near this little city are so quiet and peaceful, it’s possible to walk along them for hours and not see another soul. It is this isolated serenity that makes Fortuna a perfect escape destination. A recent survey showed that more than a third of Fortuna’s citizens are artists. The natural and artistic beauty on display in the friendly city of Fortuna is definitely worth the trip. For more information, call (707) 725-3959. www.chamber.sunnyfortuna.com
Gems of 35 Discover the World 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.
The processes to make some of the most delectable dairy foods in the world involve the finest ingredients, lots of labor and, most importantly, love. In a small picturesque town called Loleta, learn about the process involved in producing award-winning cheeses and sample a mouth-watering variety of these savory treats. The Loleta Cheese Factory opened in 1982 and has been run by only one family. Every step of the cheese-making process takes place before your eyes behind large windows.
steep drop-offs down the other. The pavement is nearly perfect these days and provides a smooth ride whether you’re cruising on two wheels or four. Look out over vivid evergreen forests while descending the mountains until you arrive at sea level. Few roads in the world rival this superbly scenic highway. Highway 36 runs between the towns of Fortuna and Red Bluff. Hop in your car or on your bike and hit the road. www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/Highway36.htm

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 pours into the Eel about 14 miles from its mouth and runs for 50 miles before the confluence.
photo by Tracy McCormack
This quaint factory produces an amazing two million pounds of cheese each year. Several organic varieties are produced, with 34 cheeses in all, including Monterey Jack, Havarti, fontina, colby jack, Humboldt Garden Cheddar and Real Humboldt Gold. Cheese and food lovers will enjoy a trip to this delightful factory and its extensive gift shop. The Loleta Cheese Factory is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is located on Loleta Drive off Highway 101, 12 miles south of Eureka. For more information, call the factory at (707) 733-5470. www.loletacheese.com

Drive Scenic Highway 36
So much amazing natural beauty abounds in Humboldt County, you may never be able to see it all. Practically limitless in this area are idyllic hiking and biking trails, breathtaking mountains, redwoods, rivers, wildlife and so much more.
photo by Steve Hammons
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 Chinook and Coho 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 Highway 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.fovd.org
Few things are more exciting than the entertaining, exhilarating sights and sounds of a rodeo. If you’re one of the many folks who have experienced the excitement of a rodeo, or are just curious to see one for the first time, the Fortuna Redwood Rodeo is just what you’re looking for. Every July, this thrilling event overtakes the small town of Fortuna for a week’s time. The event features much more than just the rodeo itself, which dominates Saturday and Sunday. Children’s events, parades, a carnival and a junior rodeo entertain the droves of locals and visitors who love this exciting event. Enjoy delicious down-home barbecue, which, year in and year out, is always a hit. You will love this action-packed event and all the festivities surrounding it.

to the Fortuna 40 Go Redwood Rodeo
Visit Grizzly Creek 39 Park Redwoods State Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park is only a few acres in size, but it’s enough to give the feeling of being remote and secluded.
The shop and museum feature strikingly lovely stones from around the world for you to view at your leisure. Not only will you see gems in a huge range of color, shape and size in this impressively large collection, but also a petrified palm display, precious stones, Native American and pre-Columbian artifacts, fossilized animal and plant life and a display of meteorite samples. 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 archeologist at heart. In the shop, purchase everything from stones, minerals, crystals and fossils to jewelry, books, carvings and shells. To purchase or just view some of the most beautiful stones in the world, Chapman’s Gem & Mineral Shop and Museum is open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The museum is located four miles south of Fortuna off Highway 101. For more information, call (707) 725-2714.
alongshore at one of 30 comfortable campsites. The park boasts 4.5 miles of great hiking trails. Take a short self-guided nature trail. You and a friend could even play a few rounds at the horseshoe pit. Stop in at the Visitor Center to see some exhibits on the local plant life and to visit the informative bookstore. Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park is open all year long from sunrise until sunset. It’s a wonderful park, but check the weather forecast and bring a rain jacket; it rains here 65 inches annually. The park is on Highway 36, 17 miles east of Highway 101 exit at Alton, south of Fortuna. Reservations are recommended in the warmer months. For more information, call (707) 777-3683. www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=421

To see a representative selection of Humboldt’s tremendous scenery from the comfortable seat of your own vehicle, head straight for Highway 36. This beautiful stretch of California roadway is full of the pastures, forests, rivers and rolling hills and mountains for which Northern California is famous. The road was never leveled out by the original road crew and includes 10-foot ups and downs and swinging twists and curves around hills. The spectacular 142-mile ride begins in the town of Red Bluff just off of Interstate 5 and ends near the Pacific Coast in Fortuna. The road takes you around a winding mountain, which some motorcyclists have declared to be the ultimate ride. Jagged mountain cliffs border one side with

Cheatham Grove is an exceptional stand of ancient coastal redwoods. Fish or swim in the clear Van Duzen River, which lazily flows through the park. For more adventure, hop in a canoe or kayak and paddle your way downriver. A picnic on the shore is an excellent way to spend a quiet afternoon. Or sleep in your tent overnight

tor Jack Mays to race his odd-looking fivewheeled cycle down Main Street on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, 1969. The race has turned into a three-day event where human powered machines must traverse sand, mud and water. Past sculptures from these races can be found at the Kinetic Sculpture Museum at 580 Main Street. The Ferndale Arts Cooperative is in the same building and features works by local artists. Many visitors are surprised to discover that the tiny town of Ferndale has a year-round theater season. The Ferndale Repertory Theatre has pleased area audiences for 30 years in its intimate downtown venue. Ferndaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Russ Park is 105 acres of lush coastal habitat. Sitka spruce, Douglas fir and grand fir are the dominant conifers; deciduous trees include red alder and maple. Dozens of bird species inhabit the park, including the varied thrush, winter wren, gray jay, golden crowned kinglet and the red-shafted flicker. To reach the park, turn east from Main Street on Ocean Avenue. Trails wind through the park, but wheeled vehicles are not allowed. Centerville Beach can be reached by turning west on Ocean Avenue. The remote Lost Coast can be reached via Mattole Road. The twisting route leads south and west to Cape Mendocino, the westernmost point in the continental United States. Ferndale is a popular film location and is featured in movies such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Majesticâ&#x20AC;? with Jim Carrey, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outbreak,â&#x20AC;? starring Dustin Hoffman.

visit to the Victorian Village of Ferndale is like strolling through the past. The entire Main Street has been designated a National Register Historic District due to its finely preserved commercial and residential buildings. Fernbridge connects Ferndale with the rest of the county. Built in 1911, the bridge is a Civil Engineering Historic Landmark. Ferndale is nestled against coastal hills and near the Eel River. Rich bottom land provides plentiful grass for the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thriving dairy industry, which has sustained the community since the late 1800s. The ornate homes built by successful dairy farmers became known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;butterfat palaces.â&#x20AC;? The town has a fascinating array of specialty shops, restaurants, bakeries, galleries and inns, as well as a market, tavern and dry goods store. Locals seem to like Ferndale as much as tourists and are usually glad to recommend a place to eat or a sight to see. The Ferndale Museum shows visitors the clothing, furniture, farm machinery, logging tools and photographs of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier days. It is located on Shaw Street, just off Main. Visitors to Ferndale can also get a good glimpse into the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past with a visit to the Ferndale Cemetery, east on Ocean Avenue. Each headstone offers a look into the lives of the people who helped shape the town for future generations. The cemetery also boasts a panoramic view of the town, valley and the ocean beyond.

raversing 100 miles of the most beautiful terrain the North Coast has to offer, GARBERVILLE the Tour of the Unknown Coast is almost as much pleasure for its participants as it is punishment. The ride challenges even the most seasoned cyclist. Starting in Ferndale, the course takes riders along Blue Slide Road into Rio Dell, then along Avenue of the Giants BENBOW and up Panther Gap. From the summit riders descend into the Mattole Valley and then out along the coast. M att Then it gets tough: riding next to the ocean, the competitors hit “The Wall,” a 1-mile incline up an 18 percent grade. Riders then navigate a smaller series of hills – dubbed the “Endless Hills” — before coming down a downhill run known as the Wildcat that leads to the finish line in Ferndale. Fortunately for the less-hardy cycling crowd, tour organizers also host four other courses: the 100-kilometer (62 mile) challenge, the 50-mile challenge, the 20-mile family fun ride and the 10-mile farm tour popular among cycling families with young children. o le
River
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.

L
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 center, 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. There is so much to do in Eureka, it will take days to explore everything. A good first stop is the Chamber of Commerce office at 2112 Broadway (Highway 101) where knowledgeable residents can offer any needed advice. The next thing to do is get off busy Highway 101 and into the quiet neighborhoods. A turn toward Humboldt Bay off the highway (4th or 5th Street 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 Street 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 Street leads to the lovely, massive Humboldt County Library. Comfortable chairs and great views encourage patrons to curl up with a good book. The former Carnegie Library building at 7th and F streets is now home to the Humboldt Arts Council and Morris Graves Museum of Art. The impressive building has permanent and rotating exhibits, a photo gallery and a sculpture garden. 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. A short drive over the Samoa Bridge leads to the Woodley Island Marina. The marina was
Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®
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 marks the in 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 lumber-camp restaurant that still serves meals in the hearty fashion of yesteryear. The restaurant also houses a logging museum. On the return trip to Eureka, look for egrets, which nest in the cypress trees on the bay’s small islands. The marshes, bay and sea provide abundant habitat for hundreds of bird species and other wildlife. 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. The Madaket is the oldest operating passenger boat on the Pacific coast. It is operated by the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum, which is located next to the Samoa Cookhouse. Other museums in Eureka include the Clarke Museum, which has one of the finest collections of Native American basketry in the country. Fort Humboldt State Historic Park is home to a Native American museum, a logging museum and several buildings from the old fort. Across Highway 101 is the Bayshore Mall. The mall has many retail stores, eateries, a movie theater and a video arcade. About eight miles south on Highway 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 Highway 101 is the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge offers wildlife viewing. Two hiking trails are open during daylight hours. Sequoia Park on the south side of Eureka (Harris to W Street) is home to the Sequoia Park Zoo. Though small, the zoo offers fine displays and an intimate look at resident animals. It features new exhibits, an impressive barnyard area, a petting zoo, education facilities, a gift shop and cafe. Admission is free.

Eureka Events P
artly due to its mild weather, and partly due to the fact that Eureka is filled with dynamic people, the city enjoys a year-round calendar of special events. One of the most popular events is the Redwood Coast Dixieland Jazz Festival celebrating its 18th year in March 2008. The three-day festival draws thousands of jazz enthusiasts from around the country to enjoy great music in a Victorian setting. The jazz festival features more than a dozen top bands that play at several venues around Eureka. The bands include nationally renowned musicians as well as several talented local jazz groups and high school jazz bands for nearly non-stop music throughout the festival. For information about the Redwood Coast Dixieland Jazz Festival, call (707) 445-3378 or visit the festival’s Web site: www.redwoodjazz.org. A Taste Of Main Street is a delicious kick-
off to the Jazz Festival in March. This fun event allows participants to wander through Old Town sampling the specialties of the many restaurants and bakeries. Blues fans will flock to Eureka’s waterfront in July 2008 for Blues By The Bay Volume XII. The two-day festival attracts blues musicians from around the world. For more information, call (707) 445-3378, or visit www.bluesbythebay.org. A much older, venerated event is the annual Rhododendron Festival. Held each April, the Rhody Festival has numerous activities, including a dance, golf tournament, parade, art show, concerts and more. The highlight of the festival is the Rhododendron Parade, which includes dozens of floats decorated with rhododendron blooms and other flowers. As it has for many years, this exciting parade winds through the streets of Eureka, from the downtown area to the Eureka

Mall. For information about the Rhododendron Festival, call the Eureka Chamber of Commerce at (707) 442-3738. Fort Humboldt State Historic Park, located at the southern end of Eureka, is the site of several celebrations. Donkey Days, held in late April, features exhibitions of steam “donkeys,” engines that were used during early timber operations to move logs. Fort Humboldt Park also hosts Steam Up, during which logging locomotives, circa 1880 and 1882, are in operation and giving rides. The demonstrations are on the third Saturday of each month, from May through September. Call (707) 445-6567 about events at Fort Humboldt. A truly festive Eureka event is the Fourth of July celebration, taking place every year in Old Town. It is a gala event with lots of AllAmerican activity all day long. The streets are filled with local bands, singing groups, dance demonstrations, food booths, art and craft displays, vendor booths, bunting and flags. The highlight of the Independence Day celebration, of course, is the fireworks display. For a small city, Eureka has an impressive performance, which is heightened by the bursts reflecting in the waters of Humboldt Bay. Many residents watch the pyrotechnics from canoes, kayaks, sailboats and other small crafts. Dog fanciers will love Mutt Strut & Woofstock at Halvorsen Park in Eureka. Usually in late September, join in for the county’s biggest canine event of the year. 100 percent of all funds raised will go to support the adoption, spay/neuter and education programs of the Sequoia Humane Society. Call (707) 442-1782 for information. One of Eureka’s newest events is the Maritime Festival and Coast Guard Celebration, held at the end of September. In 2000, Eureka was formally recognized as a Coast Guard city, one of only two in the nation, to honor the city’s 146-year history with the Coast Guard. The celebration includes ship tours, a maritime expo, a mayor’s ball and a community picnic. Contact the city of Eureka for more information at (707) 441-4144.
Old Town Eureka is host to an annual 4th of July Celebration.

oodley Island, one of three natural islands in Humboldt Bay, has become one of the more popular recreation sites on the North Coast. It offers a taste of Victorian seaport, Native American and natural history along with an intimate look into today’s commercial and sport fishing industries. There is much more to do on this small island than first meets the eye. One of the most popular experiences is to book a trip on one of three sport-fishing charters in the Marina. Shellback Charters, Full Throttle and Reel Steel Sport Fishing offer a thrilling day on the Pacific and the best souvenir of all: a fresh, local catch-of-the-day to take home. Salmon, albacore, snapper, crab anyone? Dock A is home to Humboats Kayak Adventures, the Redwood Coast’s finest kayak and canoe specialists, certified by the American
Canoe Association and the British Canoe Association. Humboats caters to all levels of paddlers. Lessons and tours are taught by professional guides with local and international expedition experience, and who are dedicated to excellence, professionalism and safety. Their love of the bay makes these boating adventures memorable. If you have a more relaxing day in mind, tour the perimeter of the 25-acre wildlife sanctuary. It supports two natural freshwater ponds abundant with birds, mammals and a diversity of plant life. It is a favorite of bird watchers who come to catch glimpses of godwits, pelicans, grebes, loons, egrets and rare great blue herons. See the island as local Native Americans saw it when it was their life and sustenance, and be sure to see the natural history interpretive displays the Harbor District maintains.

There are two very special and distinctive points of interest on Woodley Island that can be seen from across the bay, but are most striking when viewed close-up. The Table Bluff Lighthouse was built in 1892 and moved to Woodley Island exactly one century later. It is both a local treasure and a treat for lighthouse aficionados. Another one of the most memorable sights on Humboldt Bay is “The Fisherman,” a sculpture commissioned by the Commercial Fishermen’s Wives of Humboldt County, created by local artist Dick Crane to commemorate loved ones lost at sea. The two-ton, hand-formed copper sculpture took three years to build and is more than 20-feet tall. It portrays a fisherman in foul weather gear casting a net from a dory. It is a familiar and beloved sight for locals and visitors to Humboldt Bay. A wonderful way to wrap any part of the day at Woodley Island is to dine on fresh, local seafood at the Café Marina. You can enjoy your meal indoors with a beautiful view of the boats and bay or in the fresh sea air on the dockside patio. The Café is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and features such items as bouillabaisse, steamer clams, hangtown fry, blackened snapper, petrale sole, fish & chips, oysters, New York steaks and, of course, fresh, sweet, local Dungeness crab. Woodley Island is located just off Highway 101 as it approaches the north end of Eureka. Take the Samoa Bridge (Highway 255) exit just past R Street, then take the first exit off the bridge. Follow Startare Avenue and see the history of Humboldt Bay come alive. For more information, call (707) 443-0801. www.humboldtbay.org

The most well-known building in Humboldt County is the William Carson Mansion. This amazing piece of Victorian architecture sits in the middle of Old Town Eureka and is perhaps the most photographed Victorian home in all of the United States. The magnificent structure took over a hundred workers more than two years to build.

Kayaking and canoe enthusiasts will have much to see from the water including wildlife and waterfowl refuges, beautiful Victorian architecture, a colorful commercial fishing fleet, historical Native American sites, oyster aquaculture and a heritage logging town.

Cheer for the Kinetic Racers
Every Memorial Day weekend, Humboldt County bursts with artistic craziness as the Kinetic Grand Championship dominates the roadways and waterways. In 2008, the race will mark its 40th anniversary, and is sure to include its usual zaniness. Participants must race pedalpowered sculptures over land, rough terrain and water. And while the 50 or so racers appear to be having a ball, the real fun is in watching and cheering for these odd-ball contraptions as they make their way along the 42-mile course during the three-day event.

Eventually the historic residential portion of the lighthouse was demolished and, in 1953, the light was automated. The Coast Guard continued to service the light until 1975 when it was finally deactivated. The Table Bluff site was purchased in 1971 as a religious training and retreat center called Lighthouse Ranch. The original fog signal building, oil house and carpenter shop still stand.

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 SINCE 1928 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.

Humboldt County while the same amount of money in Southern California or the San Francisco Bay Area would purchase far less. Another popular option in Humboldt County is to purchase property and construct a custom home. Rural acreage and city lots are available at varying prices, depending upon location and size. Depending on the terrain type and location, large plots of land can be purchased anywhere from $600 to $2,500 an acre, while a nice lot in town with utilities nearby might run $80,000 to $150,000 depending on location. Experienced local architects and carpenters can help you design and build your dream house. More rural, country homes tend to com-
mand a higher price. Commercial real estate is an attractive option for some due to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lower prices. Some people interested in a lifestyle change move to the area and rather than look for a job, consider buying an existing business. For others, their interest lies in investment properties such as apartment or home rentals. For those who prefer to rent, nice 3-bedroom, 2-bath homes can be rented for $1,200- $1,600 per month depending upon location. Monthly rents for two-bedroom apartments run from $600-$800, while two-bedroom rental houses generally run from $600-$1,000. The rental market is relatively tight, and nice properties are not on the market long.

ad River Community Hospital is committed to providing exemplary care for visitors and residents of the North Coast. Located in charming and historic Arcata, the hospital boasts a wide-range of services, as well as highly trained and friendly staff members. Mad River’s well-regarded Birthing Center is one of the premiere services the hospital offers. At the birthing center, parents-tobe are given customized care and support. Gentle, capable nurses at the center delight in welcoming a child to the world. The hospital also features a top-notch Cardiopulmonary Services department that provides respiratory care for all — newborns to the elderly. Outpatient services are provided through this department as well.

Humboldt County • www.101things.com
Because there are so many other wellrespected services provided by Mad River Community Hospital, the North Coast community has a long history of rallying around the hospital and providing support. Recently, North Coast residents named Mad River as their “Hospital of Choice in Humboldt County” in the “What Patients Think of California Hospitals” survey. In the survey, Mad River Community Hospital scored three out of three stars, an above average rating unusual among hospitals. “We have great people and we have great medicine,” said Tom Ayotte, director of Ancillary Services and Safety. “We’re a community hospital. And we can focus on the needs of our community. ... We try to make it as personal and as caring as we can. ... I used to compare
us to the Little Engine That Could. (But now I say) we’re the Little Engine That Does.” But 35 years ago, the future of an Arcata hospital seemed uncertain. Trinity Hospital in downtown Arcata was under threat of closure, but the community and concerned medical professionals rallied to save the hospital. Allen Shaw, who had built 4 hospitals in California, was impressed by the show of support and moved to the area to build a new hospital. In 1972, Mad River Hospital opened its doors. The patients from Trinity Hospital were transferred to the new facility, which continues to grow, change and strive for excellence in patient care. The town of Arcata has a rich health facility history. In 1911, the original Trinity Hospital was build at the corner of 13th and G streets. The hospital was run by Dr. George McKinnon, but in 1927 the Sisters of St. Joseph took over the operation. However, a fire destroyed the facility in February 1943. Later that year, rebuilding got underway after the Arcata Chamber of Commerce with community funds purchased a city block at 14th and C streets. In 1944, the hospital was up and running again
under the sisters. But in 1968, the Sisters of St. Joseph decided to consolidate their operations into one hospital in Eureka. That is when Arcata Mayor Ward Falor called a town meeting and the Trinity Hospital Action Committee was formed. It was this committee’s determination that was the catalyst that helped create the current hospital. In 1968, 47 acres were purchased in north Arcata along the Mad River. And with no interruption of services, Mad River Community Hospital was born. Today, the hospital provides extensive services. The Emergency Department provides 24-hour care. Laboratory and Pathology Services offer round-the-clock assistance. Comprehensive surgical care is available. A first-rate Pain Clinic provides board-certified pain management. The Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Services department features physical, occupational, neurological and speech therapies. The Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine department specializes in the treatment of acute and chronic non-healing wounds. And the hospital also boasts a Home Health Care department with an expert team of at-home specialists.

Arcata M
any diverse elements have contributed to the mix that is Arcata. Founded in 1850 as Union Town, Arcata originally served as a depot and base camp for the gold fields in the Trinity Alps to the east and lumber camps all around. Arcata has always been a lumber town and throughout much of this century was dotted with mills large and small. At present, lumber plays a lesser role and Arcata has an economy that includes tourism, education, manufacturing, a healthy retail base and various service industries. The resident population is an intriguing combination of students, senior citizens, artists and all manner of working folk. Arcata has a true center, the plaza, around which the community turns. Once home to grazing cows and pack animals, the plaza serves as the central focus of commercial and festive activities. Several historic buildings in Arcata have been restored. Jacobyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Storehouse, located on the south side of the plaza is one example.
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 Highway 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 school 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. A highlight of Arcata is a visit to the Humboldt State University Natural History Museum located at 13th and G streets. The museum has displays of various life forms from millions of years ago to present time including a fossil display. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday. Arcata is a wonderful place to spend a few days. Drive out to Mad River Beach to see the crashRVP photo ing surf.

On the east side of town is Redwood Park and the Arcata Community Forest, a living museum of 600 acres of secondgrowth redwoods and nearly 10 miles of trails. The forest, the first city-owned forest in California, was dedicated in 1955. In the early 1980s a comprehensive timber management plan was developed that allows the city to responsibly manage watershed, recreational uses and wildlife habitat, as well as selective timber harvesting.
begins at the west side of the parking lot. Redwood Park also contains a playground, picnic areas, mountain biking trails and a community center that is available for special events. Arcata has several options for those who want to enjoy some nightlife. Humboldt State University has ongoing theater, dance and musical performances. There are numerous taverns and restaurants in Arcata, including Humboldt Brewery, Crosswinds, East Side Deli, Oriental Buffet, The Alibi, Arcata Pizza and Deli and more. A great way to spend a summer evening is to watch the Humboldt Crabs semi-pro baseball team at the Arcata ballpark at 8th and F streets. The Crabs are one of the top-rated teams in the country and the ballpark is small and intimate. Fourth of July should not be missed in Arcata as the whole town comes out to celebrate with barbecues, music, food, baseball and other old-fashioned, small-town pleasures. A fireworks display caps the day. An official California Welcome Center, in north Arcata, provides information on Humboldt County. Take Highway 101 two miles north of downtown Arcata to the Giuntoli exit. The center is on the west side of the highway on Heindon Road.

Arcata Plaza
I
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 flowerbeds. 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. The plaza was born in a dynamic time and it remains a dynamic, people-centered place.

Spanning many miles, the Mad River starts in Trinity County and winds through Six Rivers National Forest. Matthews Dam, approximately one-third of the way along the river, forms Ruth Lake. The Mad River finally empties into the Pacific Ocean along the mile-long shore of a picturesque beach at the mouth, just north of

Have a Picnic at Freshwater Park
Freshwater Park is only a couple of miles east of the beautiful little village of Freshwater but steps decades back in time to the days of oldfashioned picnics and family gatherings, complete with a cool, clear fresh water swimming hole. Humboldt County Parks dams Freshwater creek each year from mid-June to the weekend after Labor Day for the kind of summer swim experience that harkens back generations. In addition, the park offers day-use picnic tables, fire rings, public facilities and a 400-person group event area with Gazebo for country weddings or other outdoor celebrations. The park is open from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Memorial through Labor Day and during the rest of the year when the park host is in attendance. Take Highway 101 to Indianola Road; turn right toward Eureka; take a left at Three Corners to Freshwater/Kneeland and head right through Freshwater. The park is about 1/8 mile past Steele Lane. For more information on Freshwater Park, call the Humboldt County Parks Department at (707) 445-7651 or go to co.humboldt.ca.us.

McKinleyville I
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. Spring is a good time to view the Azalea State Reserve when the native shrubs are in bloom. Trails wind through the fragrant plant
life and informational markers describe various species. Take the Central Avenue exit off Highway 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 offers Beau Pre Golf Course on Norton Road off Central Avenue. Clam Beach is also 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 course starts in the town of Trinidad, 8.5 miles north, and ends at Clam Beach. Runners must traverse Little River to reach the finish line. 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, McKin-
leyville holds an Azalea Festival. The town turns out for a parade, dances, 10-kilometer race, barbecue and a classic car show. 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. For further information, call the McKinleyville Chamber of Commerce at (707) 839-2449.

The Sports Complex has two nicely maintained little league fields, so grab your mitt and toss a few with the kids. Then head on over to the playground area, which consists of two separate age-specific areas. The tot lot is great for the littlest of parkgoers, and older kids love to climb and slide on the bigger equipment. Adjacent to the park are plenty of tables, so bring a picnic and munch on sandwiches while the kids play. Dogs are not permitted in the play area, but the furry set are welcome on the network of loop trails that crisscross the recreation area. The trails lead to the beach, the Mad River and the Hammond Trail, which runs through the regional park. Signs along the trails help the nature walker choose a course.

Celebrate the Azalea Festival
Every summer, typically on the first weekend in June, McKinleyville hosts the Azalea Festival. First celebrated in the early 1970s, it was originally known as Pony Express Days. This is a fun-filled event providing activities for all ages. The Thursday before the event weekend, at 5:30 p.m. in the Mill Creek Marketplace, the Arcata Volunteer Fire Department holds a Firemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muster. Local fire departments compete against each other in a hose-coupling contest and an old-fashioned bucket brigade. On Friday night, McKinleyville High School hosts the Alumni Football Game, in which former players relive their high school football days. This is always a spirited game and American small-town football at its best. The premiere event of the Azalea Festival is on Saturday at 10 a.m. when the Azalea Festival Parade winds its way down Central Avenue. The parade typically features local bands, Scout troupes, the VFW Color Guard, floats from local businesses, vintage automobiles and much more. On Saturday afternoon in Pierson Park, you will find a Food Garden, an Azalea Garden and Market and a Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market. For more information about the Azalea Festival, contact the McKinleyville Chamber of Commerce at (707) 839-2449, or drop in to the Chamber at 1640 Central Avenue.

Visit the Seaside Village of Trinidad
Quaint towns are rare, but picturesque seaside hamlets are even rarer. Scenic Trinidad, located on a bluff over a PaciďŹ c Ocean cove, is home to little more than 400 people. It is also one of the most westerly towns in California. The natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, with its amazing beaches, rocky shoreline and wooded hillsides, is striking. Take a stroll along Trinidad State Beach, or hike along a mildly strenuous trail, which loops around a massive rock outcropping known as Trinidad Head. From this point, see expansive coastal panoramas as well as views of Pewetole Island, Elk Head, and on clear days, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point and Eureka. This is also an excellent place for viewing dozens of bird species and marine animals such as whales, seals, porpoises and sea lions.

To try your own luck, cast your line right off the pier or charter a deep-sea ďŹ shing boat. The pier is also a wonderful spot from which to launch your own boat or kayak.

The Trinidad Museum is a wonderful place to learn a bit of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Exhibits include photographs and displays of Trinidadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting past.

This lighthouse is a replica of the original Trinidad Head Lighthouse still in use today. Both the original big fog bell and Fresnel lens stand on the site of the current park. They make a perfect addition to the little park overlooking the rocky coast below the town of Trinidad. The lighthouse memorial now stands as an everlasting memorial to those lost at sea. After the monument was established, the list of names of all the people lost at sea soon outgrew the small plaques. More plaques have since been affixed to the retaining walls. Perhaps the best part of this lovely park and monument is the view. The rocks crop out of the foamy ocean, overlooking the many small fishing boats swaying in the breeze. Standing atop the beautiful cliffs with the salty sea breeze in your hair, you’re sure to remember the spectacular view. To get to the park, take the short drive from Highway 101 that winds through the tiny town of Trinidad. The town is nearly as picturesque as the view from the memorial. If you’re around at noon, you’ll be privileged to hear the fog bell toll in memory of lost sailors. The Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse is located to the left, off of Main Street on Trinity Avenue.
Patrick’s 85 Explore 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 oldgrowth 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 Highway 101. Reservations are recommended for camping. For more information, call (707) 677-3570. www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=417
Hunting 87 Go for Agates At Patrick’s Point State Park there are great trails, great views and Agate Beach, a wonderfully pebbly beach, made for agate hunting.
Back in Time 86 Step at Sumeg Village Today, members of the Yurok Tribe live in modern houses and have modern-day lifestyles. But many of the nearly 5,000 enrolled members of California’s largest Indian Tribe also work to preserve the traditions of their heritage. Sumeg Village is one place where local Yuroks share their culture with the public.

“Sumeg” is the placename of an old Yurok seasonal fishing camp, which was located in Abalone Point on the ocean within what is now Patrick’s Point State Park. The Yurok came here during the summer to fish and harvest mussels, as well as catch sea lions and other game. The reconstructed Sumeg Village is a living example of a centuries-old Yurok village. Built by Yurok people using traditional materials, the village consists of traditional family style plank houses made of split redwood, an underground sweat house — much like a modern-day sauna, two redwood dug-out canoes and a brush dance pit where ceremonial dances are performed. Adjacent to the village is a native plant garden, which has plants used by the Yuroks for

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

Adventures. “Whether people come to enjoy a relaxing hike through old-growth redwood trees, a bike ride to Prairie Creek Campgrounds, a horseback ride among the ferns into Redwood National Park or to paddle a kayak in Stone Lagoon, we encourage everyone to join us in enjoying and honoring the preservation of this beautiful area.” Need lodging after your day celebrating National Trails Day? Then check out Redwood Adventures Elk Meadow Village. The adventure company offers luxurious vacation cabins and guided tours and hikes. In the future, the lodging company plans to develop a topnotch lodge, resort hotels/meeting centers, restaurants, stores and recreational facilities on its three properties (68 acres) adjacent to Redwood National and State Parks.

— Tolowa, Yurok and Chilula. The Yurok and Tolowa continue to be a major influence on the community. The Chilula people have been assimilated into the inland Hupa culture. A hike through the prehistorically beautiful Fern Canyon is breathtaking. Elk can be seen ambling along the Fern Canyon creek bed, sometimes sunning themselves on a sandbar. Occasionally, an owl may be spotted. Up until the 1940s, Orick was strictly a dairy town, serving the farms along lower Redwood Creek. Then logging of the magnificent forests along Redwood Creek began and by the 1960s the timber industry was dominant. Now, between protection of substantial acreages in the national and state parks, and depletion of the rest by rapid clearcutting, the logging boom has now faded away completely. Tourism is now the little town’s mainstay, fed by the constant stream of people who come to see the world’s tallest trees, and the dramatic coast and river scenery. In addition to the staples of food, drink, lodging and Tshirts, Orick has its own distinctive product to sell — redwood burl furniture and sculptures. Half a dozen artisan burl outlets line Highway 101 as it passes through town. Redwoods are vigorous stump-sprouters and develop masses of dormant buds around the base of the tree. These also sometimes occur as a large protuberance, or burl, on the trunk. The grain of these burls is complex and interesting, and the wood is highly valued for ornamental purposes. The two main products produced from redwood burls are coffee-table tops and wall clocks, but beautiful turned bowls and trays are also made. Chainsaw sculptures of life-size bears are also eye-catching specialties.

ach first Saturday in June, the American Hiking Society holds National Trails Day, a celebration of trails and outdoor activities. Redwood Adventures, based in Orick, in conjunction with the national event, hosts an annual festival of its own. Designed to inspire the public to visit the trails in and around Redwood National and State Parks, the organization, with help from the Orick Chamber of Commerce, offers guided tours, gear demonstrations, educational exhibits, art, food and music. The 2007 event featured hiking tours; horseback riding tours; bike rides; kayak tours of Stone Lagoon by Kayak Zak’s; wood carving demonstrations; Yurok Tribe cultural demonstrations; and a whole lot more. Plans for the 2008 event are equally as grand. “The Redwood National and State Park is home to more than 200 miles of trails,” said John Russavage, chairman and CEO of Redwood

orth of Eureka, lies the town of Orick and its Redwood Creek, a favorite spot for local fishermen. Located in a small valley, Orick was the home of Yurok Indians for hundreds of years. Once a major logging center, Orick now attracts thousands of visitors who come to fish or explore Redwood National Park. The rodeo, held every summer, attracts visitors and locals to the Orick Rodeo Grounds. In the Orick area, Lady Bird Johnson Grove on Bald Hills Road invites visitors to take a leisurely stroll on a self-guided interpretive trail through a grove of old-growth redwood, hemlock, spruce and fir trees coexisting with myriad other plants. In springtime, wild iris, red, lavender and white trillium, wild lilies, azaleas and rhododendrons bloom and bring vivid color to the dark carpet beneath and within the trees. Waterways, lagoons and creeks provide a perfect setting for kayaking, bird-watching or scenic viewing. The national and state parks maintain hiking trails of varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from short and flat, to long with winding hills or sharp climbs and descents. Camping facilities abound, from primitive to well-appointed for RVers or tent campers. Day-use sites are perfect for picnics; most

Stroll or Kayak Lagoons State Park
Agate hunting, bird-watching, beachcombing, boating and whale watching are all popular outdoor activities for families along the West Coast. One of the best places to do all of these and more is at the Humboldt Lagoons State Park. In the early 1900s, Dry Lagoon was drained to make way for crops and dairy ranches. The effort proved uneconomical and, eventually, Mother Nature reclaimed this natural marshland habitat, which supports a huge variety of bird and animal life. Today, both Dry Lagoon and Stone Lagoon make up the state park, which includes six miles of beach, a hiking trail, boat ramp, picnic area and campsites. Many people come to the park to wander the beach, combing for agates and other treasures, as well as to watch migrating whales. You can bring your own boat to explore the lagoons or go fishing. There are also plenty of trails for the hiker, including three miles of Coastal Trail. Bring a picnic or pitch a tent at one of the 12 available campsites.

Prairie Creek is a small drainage entering the Pacific Ocean near Orick. This unassuming waterway is the namesake of the 23-square-mile Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, a sanctuary of old-growth redwoods set aside in the early 1920s by the state of California and the Savethe-Redwoods League. With more than 280 Savethe-Redwoods League memorial groves, the park has been designated as a World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve.

Amazing 93 Explore Fern Canyon A spot in Humboldt County where you can take a leisurely stroll, leave the world behind and enter a magical world is Fern Canyon, located in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. As its name suggests, this beautiful, natural wonder is a one-mile long box canyon, complete with a small stone-bottom creek, where the walls, completely covered in ferns, tower 50 to 80 feet above. Over the ages, five different varieties of ferns have grown on the canyon walls. Huge over-hanging trees grow at the top of the ridge, allowing streams of light to peak through the branches. Fallen trees along the bottom of the canyon can be climbed upon. When the filtered light combines with the iridescently green vegetation, the canyon takes on an unearthly hue. An easy hike back into the canyon will lead you to where the walls become less steep. Here, make your way up a trail that will take you to a ridge. From this vantage point, the green canyon below takes on a beauty rarely seen by many. Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ÂŽ

Hwy 96 / Klamath River Region T he secluded towns of Hoopa, Orleans, Somes Bar and Happy Camp are strung along picturesque Highway 96. The highway meanders north from Willow Creek and passes through the Hoopa Valley Reservation, the largest Indian reservation in California. Attractions at the reservation include the Hoopa Tribal Museum, Lucky Bear Casino and ancient Indian villages that date back 10,000 years. The first section of the highway follows along the Trinity River, and travelers pass the popular swimming area at Tish Tang. Approximately 20 minutes from Willow Creek is Hoopa Valley, the current and ancestral home of the Hupa people. The encroachment of white settlers in pursuit of mineral and timber riches in the mid-1800s led to battles as the Hupa tried to protect their valley from the interlopers. After more than a decade of conflict, which greatly diminished the Hupa population, a treaty was signed in 1864 that allowed the tribe to stay in its beloved valley, where it still resides today. In the valley, travelers will find lodging, restaurants, groceries and any other amenities they might require. Further along Highway 96 is the pleasant community of Orleans. Orleans is situated along the Klamath River and borders the Six Rivers and Klamath National forests. The Orleans Ranger Station has information on the nearby Marble Mountains, Trinity Alps and Siskiyou Wilderness areas. The region
has scores of high country lakes and miles of remote trails. Wildlife is abundant and it’s not unusual to see otters, geese, ospreys, bears and, if you’re lucky, a bald eagle. More than 300 species of birds inhabit the area. The site of a former logging and mining town, the Orleans area, indeed the whole Klamath River region, is now famous for its salmon and steelhead fishing. It is also famous for some of the best whitewater in the state for rafting and kayaking. Trips can be safe and mild for families with children, or wet and wild for those with more experience and bravado. There are several river access points along the Klamath for those with a boat. Other popular pastimes in the region include hiking, backpacking and mountain biking. Orleans has a surprising amount of services for its size, including restaurants, motels, a museum, gas station, deli, laundromat, grocery store, RV parks and more. About 10 miles north of Orleans is the hamlet of Somes Bar, where the Salmon River meets the Klamath. Somes Bar is just over the line into Siskiyou County. The Salmon is often called the Cal-Salmon to distinguish it from the Salmon River in Idaho. It is an astonishingly clean and beautiful wild river. Camping is available at Oak Bottom Campground along a calm stretch of the river. A narrow, curvy road leads up river to class 4 and 5 rapids, which should be run only by

experts. Somes Bar offers groceries, propane, gasoline and a post office. Further north is Happy Camp, so named by a party of gold-seekers who camped on the beach at Indian Creek in 1851. Of course, before the miners arrived, Karuk tribe members were the principal inhabitants. The tribe continues
its culture and lifestyle in the area. At Happy Camp, Highway 96 intersects with Indian Creek Road and becomes the Jefferson State Scenic Byway, named after the State of Jefferson movement. Although thwarted, it still remains in the hearts of many. For details visit www.jeffersonstate.com.

long rapids, is classified 3 and 4, based on the International Rating Scale of 1-6. Class 1 is very relaxing and easygoing and 6 is sometimes considered impossible to raft. This section is one of the nationally protected Wild and Scenic rivers and generally the only “big water” river that can be found in the area from late June through October. Lower Klamath is more easy going, providing mild to moderate trips. There are many businesses in the area that can take you down either section of the river. Trips vary from an afternoon to several days, where you will camp along the shore under the stars.
Most rafting tours do not require any experience and guides can help you get accustomed to the bumpy ride ahead. And, for your safety, you will be wearing a life preserver and helmet. For more information, call Humboldt County Convention and Visitors Bureau at (800) 3463482 or Del Norte Chamber of Commerce at (800) 343-8300. Whitewater rafting is a great experience for the thrill-seeker, nature lover and everyone else.

Your adrenaline will flow when you see the rapids ahead of you. As you head down the river, you will have to help keep the raft from hitting rocks while being bounced about on the turbulent water. This huge river stretches from Altamont in Klamath County, dips into Humboldt County for miles and then makes its way all the way to the Pacific Ocean near the town of Klamath in southern Del Norte County. Rafting trips can take you on the upper and lower portions of the river for a wider range of difficulty. The upper portion, known for its 92

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 built 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 check out 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 still use them for many unique rituals and ceremonies that are still a part of their lives.
National Park, not to mention 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.

You will love learning about the exciting and storied past of these amazing cultures. The Hoopa Tribal Museum is located on Highway 96 just outside the town of Hoopa. For more information, call the museum at (530) 625-4211. www.hoopa-nsn.gov/departments/museum.htm

The road begins in Willow Creek, which is also known as the Gateway to Bigfoot Country, and ends 89 miles later in Happy Camp.

Impressive mountain ranges on either side, wild rushing rivers and plenty of opportunities for recreation await you on your journey. There are national recreation areas and Redwood

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, ďŹ shing and hiking are among the favorite activities of the area.

The Trinity River provides more than 1,500 miles of fishable waters that start high in the mountains of the Trinity Alps.
Trinity County is known for its stunning views of the 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 ďŹ&#x201A;y 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 areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inhabitants. The Trinity River Scenic Byway, also known as Highway 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 ďŹ shing, taking river-rafting tours or just relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking scenery. Visitors can enjoy several day activities by driving along Highway 299 and checking out several campgrounds and turnouts along the way. Trinity County is what the locals call â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countryâ&#x20AC;? and once you have traveled and experienced the area, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll understand why.

Visit a Fish Hatchery
The Mad River Fish Hatchery, operated by the California Department of Fish & Game, is located at 1660 Hatchery Road in Blue Lake, just off Highway 299. The hatchery was built to enhance local salmon, steelhead and trout populations. Salmon and steelhead are released into the Mad River and trout are released into nearby lakes. The hatchery produces 250,000 steelhead yearlings and 64,000 catchable rainbow trout annually. Alongside the hatchery is the Mad River and a paved, handicapped accessible walkway, which allows anyone access to fish with a license. Visitors can tour the hatchery and feed the fry by using the coin operated pellet machine.
Cottages now available to rent for: Weddings, Family Reunions, Church & Corporate Retreats.

Rafting is not the only activity that is enjoyed on the Trinity River. If you would rather take it easy, you can enjoy the peace and quiet the river has to offer by having a picnic or just soaking up the natural beauty from shore. Fishing is also the name of the game on the Trinity River. Along with its feeder streams, the Trinity River provides more than 1,500 miles of fishable waters that start high in the mountains of the Trinity Alps. Fly-fishing is at its best on the banks and in the streams of the Trinity River. Trout, salmon and steelhead are all there for the catching. Plenty of fun can be had by every member of the family. For more information, call the Humboldt County Convention and Visitors Bureau at (800) 346-3482.

Shasta Cascade Region H umboldt Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coastal setting is an exceptional western backdrop to the rugged and beautiful playgroundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Shasta-Cascade Region. The eight northernmost California inland counties are a land of mountains and lakes, fields and streams, and some of the most amazingly beautiful cities, fashionable small towns and quaint, yet trendy, communities in the world. Whether your plans include snow or water skiing, fishing or houseboating, hiking or just relaxing away from it all, Shasta-Cascade has something for everyone and everything for some. While the land area encompasses nearly 20 percent of the Golden State, the population base is a mere 1.4 percent of the 39 million people calling California home. It is decidedly and exotically rural. The Shasta Cascade region is a summertime playground with warm-water lakes and the activities that go with them. It is also a wintertime playground of alpine magnitude. Still, this wilderness region also serves as a major supply and support center for the Interstate 5 corridor. With the exception of Chico, with a population exceeding 65,000, and Redding, more than 81,000, most towns in the region are small and the surrounding countryside sparsely populated. Within an area the size of Ohio are seven national forests and eight national and state parks. It is an expanse full of natural wonders. The Shasta Cascade region is served from north to south by Interstate 5. Smaller routes traverse the area from west to east and include highways 299, 96, 36, 44 and 70, among others. The roads are mostly two-lane and offer incredible scenery for the motorist.

Mt. Shasta looms over Shasta Lake.
Major rivers in the area include the Sacramento, Klamath, Trinity, Feather and McCloud. These waterways provide excitement for anglers, whitewater rafters and kayakers, as do the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lakes and reservoirs. The dominant body of water in the region is Shasta Lake, with 365 miles of shoreline created by the second largest dam in the United States. The lake is visible to travelers at several points along Interstate 5. Large as it is, Shasta Lake pales when compared with Mt. Shasta. The mountain, seen on clear days, seems impossibly massive, its white peak too lofty to be of this world. At 14,162 feet, Mt. Shasta is the highest volcano in the

state. The mountain attracts hikers, skiers and campers who cavort on its slopes, and serious mountaineers who strive for its summit. Mt. Shasta is part of the Cascade Range, which runs diagonally through the region. Southeast of Mt. Shasta is Lassen Volcanic National Park, with 106,000 acres of volcanic terrain that includes steaming mud pools, hot springs, cinder cones and lava pinnacles. Other portions of the park feature thick forests, clear streams and wildflower-matted meadows. Bird enthusiasts can see the state’s largest resident population of bald eagles at Shasta Lake, hundreds of species at the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge and the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge north of the lake near the Oregon border. Just south is Lava Beds National Monument

where visitors can view miles of hardened molten rock flow, lava tubes and caves created by sudden cooling. Cave enthusiasts will also enjoy Lake Shasta Caverns, which is 19 miles north of Redding and features a two-hour guided tour after a boat ride across the lake. Humboldt’s closest neighbor in the Shasta Cascade region is Trinity County with the magnificent Trinity Alps and Marble Mountain Wilderness areas. Accessible by Highway 299 and Highway 3, the mountains draw backpackers to 9,000-foot peaks, alpine meadows and more than 50 mountain lakes. The attractions mentioned are only a fraction of what’s available in the Shasta Cascade region.

It offers many of the same retail amenities as Crescent City and is near spectacular coastal parks such as Harris Beach and Samuel H. Boardman state parks. Still further north, Gold Beach (population under 2,000) and charming Wedderburn flank the mouth of the Rogue River, where fishing is a major activity year-round. The Rogue is also well known for its jet boat trips. High-powered, low-draft vessels take passengers and mail 30-plus miles upriver to Agness or to Paradise Lodge, which is 50-plus miles upriver in the federally designated â&#x20AC;&#x153;wild and scenicâ&#x20AC;? section of the Rogue. Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rogue Jets (800-451-3645) offers nature-based river adventures and the Rogue River Museum & Gift Shop. Gold Beach is the county seat and hosts the Curry County Fair in the summer and the Whale of a Wine Festival in late winter. Highway 199 travels east out of Crescent City 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 Highway 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, Highway 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. At the north end of Medford, Highway 62 intersects with Interstate 5 and leads northeast to Crater Lake National Park. Medford has a vast array of dining, lodging and shopping opportunities. A visitor center is located at the Country Village complex, which can be reached by traveling west on Barnett Road from Exit 27 off Interstate 5. Other attractions include the Southern Oregon History Center and the Craterian Ginger Rogers Theatre, both in the downtown district. Ten miles south of Medford is Ashland, known internationally as the home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The town has maintained and honored many of its historic homes and commercial buildings. Next to the town plaza is beautiful Lithia Park with 100 acres of gardens, duck ponds, grass and trails enjoyed by all who visit. South of town is the Mt. Ashland ski area, which offers day and night skiing and snowboarding. Its 23 runs are served by four chairlifts.

endocino County, Humboldt County’s neighbor to the south, is a mix of dramatic coastline, colorful vineyards and rolling hills. Two main arteries, coastal Highway 1 and Highway 101 inland, serve the county. Willits, the third largest town in Mendocino County, is located on Highway 101, approximately 22 miles north of Ukiah. The town was called Willitsville in 1865 and the primary industry was lumber. Today, wood products are still important to the local economy. However, many other industries — such as tourism, wineries and service industries — are also expanding. The town’s prosperity during its frontier days attracted the famous stagecoach robber, Black Bart, who robbed coaches on the steep Ridgewood Summit, between Willits and Ukiah. In 1911, tracks were extended from the California Western Railway’s Skunk Train to reach Willits. The former logging train still connects Willits with Fort Bragg on the Mendocino coast and is a favorite attraction for visitors to the area. The train is famous for its seven-and-a-half hour tour of the scenic corridor between the two towns. The route travels through redwood forests, along rushing streams and through several tunnels. Shorter trips are possible. Highway 20 links the two towns. Willits has a population of approximately 5,000 people and features excellent retail stores, restaurants, lodging and business and service establishments. Most of the businesses line Highway 101, but a few can be found on quiet side streets. Local pottery and jewelry is available at the Blue Sky Gallery. Golfers can play nine holes in the redwoods at Brooktrails

Golf Course northwest of town. Willits’ Frontier Days celebration takes place every year in July. It’s famous for its rodeo, which is the oldest continuously held rodeo in California. It started in 1926. A sense of Mendocino’s heritage can be found at the Mendocino County Museum. The museum houses mementos, historical photographs and exhibits about local Native Americans. It also has oral history interviews from Mendocino citizens, collections of Pomo and Yuki baskets and historical logging artifacts. The museum is located at 400 East Commercial Street. For further information, call (707) 459-2736. For unique lodging, visitors enjoy the Baechtel Creek Inn & Spa at (707) 459-9063. Visit www.baechtelcreekinn.com for more information. The three northernmost towns in Mendocino County — Laytonville, Leggett and Piercy — are strung along Highway 101 as it follows the Eel River in neighboring Humboldt County. Laytonville is just south of famous parks such as Standish-Hickey, Smithe Redwoods and Richardson Grove. The town 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 continued next page
