Eureka is Humboldt’s county seat and contains more fine examples of Victorian architecture, particularly in the Old Town section along the city’s waterfront. Old Town is home to the extravagantly ornate Carson Mansion, one of the most photographed buildings in California. Eureka’s population of nearly 28,000 makes it the largest coastal city between San Francisco and the Oregon border. Eureka has a multitude of excellent restaurants, cafes, specialty shops and lodging facilities. The city is also known for its large and active arts community. In fact, Humboldt County has the distinction of having more artists per capita than any other of the state’s 58 counties. Eureka is a busy seaport with a large fishing fleet. A variety of activities can be found in and around the waters of Humboldt Bay, including kayaking, fishing and even spotting a harbor seal or two. There are harbor tours aboard the M.V. Madaket, and the Woodley Island Marina is a great spot to enjoy a panoramic view of the waterfront. Seven miles north of Eureka is Arcata, home to Humboldt State University. Arcata is also known for its unique marsh and wildlife area that serves as a natural sewage treatment filtration system. East of Arcata, along Hwy 299 and Hwy 96 are sunny Willow Creek and Hoopa, known for recreation along the Trinity and Klamath Rivers and their tributaries. Back along Hwy 101 the town of McKinleyville serves as the home of the ArcataEureka Airport, the county’s only commercial airport. In northern Humboldt County are the coastal jewels of Trinidad, which overlooks a beautiful sheltered harbor, and Orick, the gateway to Redwood National Park.

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 Fireman’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 Children’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. www.mckinleyvillepress.com/azalea.html 2008-09 HUMBOLDT COUNTY 2nd edition

Shelter Cove & The Lost Coast photo by Gregg Gardiner

courtesy of the Bureau of Land Management, www.blm.gov

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 coast 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 Hwy

The

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. 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

Tides Inn

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, tea house, 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, 64,000acre stretch of coastal wilderness, the mountains rise directly out of the sea. King Peak tops out at 4,087 feet, and is only three miles from the ocean. The Conservation Area extends between the Mattole River in Humboldt County to the northern border of the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park in Mendocino County. Because of its remoteness and relative inaccessibility—only a few back roads lead into the range—this Douglas-fir-clad wilderness attracts hikers, backpackers, campers, equestrians, mushroom collectors, surfers, anglers, beachcombers and abalone divers. Seals, sea lions and a 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.

STUNNING

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

View Abundant Wildlife at Shelter Cove

The King Range National Conservation Area, established in 1970 as the nation’s first National Conservation Area, is an extremely special place for nature- and wildlife-lovers. One of the largest natural habitats in America, the area encompasses 64,000 acres, with many different habitats in the area surrounding Shelter Cove. Roosevelt elk, deer, whales, skunks, raccoons, egrets, marbled murrelets and bald eagles are among the 300 species inhabiting the area.

in full swing, with females and their calves swimming close to shore, the calves nearest to the coast, sometimes just beyond the surf line, as they seek to evade predators. The landmass of Shelter Cove that juts into the sea, combined with the height of the bluffs overlooking the ocean, provides some of the best land-based whale-watching opportunities anywhere on the Pacific Coast. Migrating grey whales come so close to shore here, binoculars are not needed. They often come right up to the rocks. At times they can be seen from campsites. It’s not uncommon to see a newborn calf swimming and spouting next to its mother. The waters off Shelter Cove offer a good supply of food for gray whales, and they might linger for a week or two here. While grey whales are the main attraction at Shelter Cove, occasionally humped-back or blue whales are spotted as well.

Visit the King Range National Conservation Area

The King Range National Conservation Area 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 King Range has magnificent black-sand beaches, which are perfect for tidepooling, beachcombing, surfing, abalone diving or fishing. While enjoying the beach, keep your eyes open for playful seals and sea lions, which inhabit the shallow waters just offshore.

ing these pools and identifying the fascinating creatures that inhabit them is an adventure. The best time for tide-pooling is during spring tides, which happen every two weeks when there is a full moon or a new moon. But you can also explore tide pools between the full and new moons, thanks to neap tides, the lowest tides of the month. Plan your trip to the tide pools for an hour or two before or after the lowest minus tides, which occur twice daily. Tide tables can be purchased at local stores that stock fishing supplies. Tide pools are generally divided into four zones: splash, high, mid and low. The splash zone Birdwatching is where only the highest tides, large waves, or Visitors wishing to record birds a storm surge cover the rocks.

Piercy / Benbow aground in 1867. When a steamer finally landed safely at the cape’s headland, the parts of the lighthouse were hauled up steep cliffs to a base 422 feet above the ocean. When the 43-foot tall tower was completed in 1868, it became one of the highest lighthouses in the nation. The last piece, the delicate Fresnel lens, was steamed to Eureka then transported by horse and wagon to the point. The lighthouse began flashing its white signal once every 30 seconds on Dec. 1, 1868. The lighthouse was so remote it had to be serviced by sea in the early years. One lighthouse inspector drowned in 1881 trying to reach it. During more than 80 years of service, violent storms and frequent earthquakes took their toll on the lighthouse. The Coast Guard decommissioned it in 1951, and by the late 1990s the lighthouse was ready to crumble into the sea. Today, the lighthouse is open for tours, when docents are available, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Memorial Day through Labor Day. www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=25

ally in solitary confinement. Flooded streams and harsh, windy conditions kept the site cut off from civilization. Even during the pleasant summer months, the lighthouse keeper had to travel 11 miles on horseback to shop for fresh supplies in the small village of Petrolia. The site was originally sanctioned as a fog station in 1888. It wasn’t until 1912 that the Punta Gorda (Spanish for “substantial point”) lighthouse was approved by Congress, and only then after 10 ships and countless seamen met their end near this point. The flashing light in the small 27-foot-tall tower was in service for 39 years until 1951 when the Coast Guard decided the remote site was too expensive to maintain. The buildings were boarded up and a lighted buoy was placed offshore. Now controlled by the Bureau of Land Management, the only structures remaining are the concrete lighthouse and the oil house, both of which were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The lighthouse site is a three-mile, strenuous hike along the Lost Coast Trail, which begins at the Mattole Beach campground. The trail offers beautiful black-sand beaches, dunes and tidepools. A large portion of the hike is through fine, loose sand, and hiking beneath the cliffs can be dangerous at high tide. Tide information is usually posted at the trailhead. To reach the site from Hwy 101, take the Honeydew/Dyerville exit in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Travel west to Mattole Road in Honeydew to Lighthouse Road, almost an hour and a half trip. Travel five miles to Mattole Campground. For information, call the Bureau of Land Management at (707) 825-2300. www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=63 Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®

Avenue of the Giants

he Avenue of the Giants offers more than the majesty of towering redwoods. This 31-mile route also passes through several small hamlets that give a glimpse into the history of Humboldt County. The towns along the Avenue, once closely tied to the timber industry, now rely more on the tourists who come to see the redwoods, swim in the Eel River and visit Humboldt Redwoods State Park. At the south end of the Avenue of the Giants is Phillipsville, which has restaurants, a grocery store, a motel, numerous visitor attractions and several river access points.

Take an historic drive through the redwoods. The 32-mile stretch of road running parallel to today’s Hwy 101 follows an old stagecoach road. As the old mill towns began to fade and traffic increased, the state decided to preserve an old section of the road running directly through Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Whether you start at the north entrance near Pepperwood south of Fortuna, or from the south entrance a few miles out of Phillipsville, you’ll get the real redwood experience. The stops are numbered 1 through 8 from the southern Avenue of the Giants entrance at Phillipsville. Plan for at least an hour so you can stop and see the sights. From north to south, stop #1 is F.K.

Take a Hike in the Redwoods

❐

Make the corrections shown by __________________________________________________

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

Enjoy Eel River’s Swimming Holes

One of the most striking features of Humboldt County is the magnificent Eel River. The North and Middle Forks of the Eel have been designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic River system, and the Eel River’s watershed is the third largest in California. The river flows through five counties with winding lazy curves to churning whitewater. It runs parallel to the coast and Hwy 101. A large part of its run is through the Avenue of the Giants, making Hwy 101 and the Avenue two of the most scenic roads in Southern Humboldt. The South Fork of the river skirts the eastern edge of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. During the summer months, the river’s tributaries are

slow-moving streams that provide a number of natural pools and safe swimming holes. There are many river access sites within the park. Dyerville Flats, located where the South Fork joins the main branch of the Eel River, features restrooms, picnic tables, an overlook and ample parking. Dyerville is located four miles north of the Visitor Center and a short distance beyond the turnout for Founders Grove and the intersection of Mattole Road. The easiest river access to find from the Visitor Center is Gould Bar. A sign marks where the gravel road intersects Avenue of the Giants on the west, just tenths of a mile north of the center. A short drive takes you to two large swimming holes. You can also hike there from the Visitor Center’s parking lot or Burlington campground.

Camp with Your Horse at Cuneo Creek

Cuneo Creek Horse Camp is a complete campground designed specifically for equestrians and their animals. The camp features five family campsites, accommodating up to eight campers each, with two corrals on each site. Two group campsites accommodate up to 90 campers and their horses, with a total of 28 corrals. The sites accommodate large trailers and RVs. The camp includes amenities for people and equines including showers, fire rings, picnic tables, water troughs, corrals, manure bins and hitching posts. The group campsites and family campsites may be reserved by calling (800) 444-7275. 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 multi-use, open to hikers and mountain bikers, so caution is urged. The park is also home to black bears and mountain lions.

The camp is located near Albee Campground, about three miles away, which features evening campfire programs, guided nature walks and Junior Ranger programs for children. Cuneo Creek Horse Camp is on Mattole Road, about eight miles east of the junction with the Avenue of the Giants. While at the horse camp, please remember the following State Park rules: • dogs MUST be on a leash at all times and are NOT allowed on the trails • wood gathering is prohibited • horses are not allowed to be loose at any time • firearms are prohibited • corrals must be cleaned before leaving Cuneo Creek Horse Camp is open during the summer months, exact opening and closing dates vary from year to year.

Charles Kellogg, an American naturalist and lecturer, hoisted a six-ton hollowed-out giant redwood log onto the chassis of a Nash Quad, a large truck the Nash Company built for the military in World War I—one of the very first 4x4 vehicles. Kellogg used an axe and an adz to hollow out the log, and fashion it into a cabin on wheels. Inside the log, he built a complete home with a kitchenette, lockers, beds, dining table, dresser, electric lights, running water and a guest room. This was 90 years ago! The log is completely solid; the walls, ceiling, and floors are all one piece. To help preserve it, Kellogg hand-rubbed 12 pounds of beeswax into the wood. Kellogg first toured the United States in his Travel-Log

to sell liberty bonds for the war effort. After the war, Kellogg, also known for his surreal ability to imitate bird calls, traveled the states to promote preserving California’s giant trees. He crossed the country four times in his lumbering motor home. Today, the Travel-Log is in beautifully restored condition. Guests at the Visitor Center can get close to it, but are not allowed inside it. The exhibit also features information about Kellogg’s life and teachings. This ancient truck is very delicate and consequently is roped off to keep it preserved. However, if you want to have a similar experience, you can visit the Immortal Tree in Redcrest on the Avenue of the Giants, and climb aboard their lovingly restored log truck. Park headquarters and the Visitor Center are located on the Avenue of the Giants, State Route 254, between the towns of Weott and Myers Flat. www.humboldtredwoods.org/kellogglog.htm

Drive Through a Tree

During the early 1920s, promoters of California’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 Hwy 101. All are privately owned, charge a nominal entrance fee and are open daily year-round. The Shrine Drive-Thru Tree is one of California’s oldest tourist attractions and is located in Myers Flat off Hwy 101 on the Avenue of the

Giants. It is said that teamsters in the late 1800s could pull their coaches through the tree. The tree has a diameter of 21 feet. When you stand inside you can see the natural tunnel, hollowed out by fire generations ago, and you can see the sky above. Your entry fee into the Shrine Tree Park also admits you to the Step-Thru Stump, Drive-On Tree, Rings of History, two-story tree houses for children and a gift shop. The Tour-Thru Tree in Klamath is 90 feet tall (the top of the tree was blown off in a storm) and the tunnel was bored out in 1976. The redwood is over 700 years old. There is a picnic table as well as a modern restroom uniquely located inside an eight-foot diameter redwood trunk. The Tour-Thru tunnel measures over seven feet high and over nine feet wide, large enough for

a van. However, due to the steep grade and a sharp curve on the way to the tree site, trailers and large motor homes are prohibited past the tollbooth. To find this tree, use the Terwer Valley exit off Hwy 101 in the town of Klamath. The Chandelier Drive-Thru Tree, located at 67402 Drive Thru Tree Road 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 ninefeet tall. It has ample room for a standard car. However, some vehicles can be too wide.

ANCIENT REDWOODS RV PARK & THE IMMORTAL TREE GOOD SAM CLUB

 THE FLOOD OF 1964

Located 1.7 miles north of Redcrest, California, the Park rests amongst the tallest and oldest living things in the world — nearby to Founders Grove, the California Federation of Womens Clubs Grove, and the Humboldt Redwoods State Park Visitor Center. Ancient Redwoods is also the home of the Hollow Log Truck.

 THE

UNDERCUT

HISTORY OF THE IMMORTAL TREE

Originally a 1945 White Fire Engine, this truck was modiﬁed in 2007 into the “Hollow Log Truck.” The log is approximately 1000 years old. The “Hollow Log Truck” can be seen Memorial Day through Labor Day at the “Burl n’ Drift” novelty and gift shop.

The Immortal Tree is a 950 to 1000 year old redwood. This tree has survived fire, flood and the logger’s axe. In 1908, Holmes Eureka Timber Company harvested about 5000 acres of ancient redwoods. During this harvest an undercut was chopped into this tree with the intention of falling it. It is unclear why the loggers did not finish the back cut. The wound eventually healed but is still visible on the Immortal Tree. After falling the nearby acreage, the loggers lit a fire to remove brush and slash before bucking the timber to length. The forest fire scar and charring is still visible but did not kill this tree. Sometime before 1952, lightning removed the top of the Immortal Tree. In December 1964 a huge flood inundated Holmes Flat and Humboldt County. The high water mark is approximately 17 feet above the base of the tree and is still visible. The next generation, believed to be the fifth, is growing in front of the Immortal Tree.

A GIRTH OF 33 FEET! 

In 1967 Janice and Edward Lewis opened the “Burl n’ Drift” novelty and gift shop, specializing in locally manufactured redwood souvenirs and gifts. Over the years the family-operated shop has increased their own production of redwood products insuring a larger choice and higher quality of redwood gifts. We consider it a pleasure to provide area information and service to the touring public. We also provide clean, ADA restrooms and complimentary picnic area. No trees are harvested to provide our resource material. Shipping is available.

Scotia

Gateway to the Avenue of the Giants

cotia is without a doubt the last chance travelers will have to see a “company” town in America. Scotia is a wonderful stop along the way to, or from, Eureka. A quaint village steeped in history — that is looking forward to a bright new future after some recent tumultuous times. A stop in Scotia becomes a trip back to the 19th and 20th Centuries, when the forests of Humboldt County supplied the building materials for much of the rest of California and the West, when company towns like Scotia were established by large lumber companies to supply housing for their employees, and all the social and commercial needs of their employees. Today the village is located on a striking wooded hillside overlooking a giant bend in the Eel River about 30 miles south of Eureka. The 270 picturesque cottages built between the 1920s and 1950s with manicured yards and white picket fences evoke memories of an earlier time, are occupied by the company’s retirees and employees. Separating the community from the river is the massive lumber mill complex that is now Humboldt Redwood Company. But as you drive through the village, it is easy to envision Scotia as it was from its founding in 1863 as Forestville, to be renamed “Scotia” 25 years later. However unlike many other company towns, Scotia did not close down during the Great Depression — it survived that period and now has outlasted the environmental battles and ﬁnancial hardship of modern times. In 2008 a court decision ﬁnalized new leadership and a new company, Humboldt Redwood Company, that has vowed to practice sustainable logging in its huge 328 square miles of coastal forest, and not to cut any redwood born prior to 1800 with a diameter of four feet or more. The village also includes a grocery store with a very popular deli, a pharmacy, bank and hardware store.

The Scotia Inn

Arguably the one of the most distinctive buildings in the village, and certainly its social heart, is the Scotia Inn. Today’s inn, built in 1923 and originally called the Mowatoc,

replaced the village’s ﬁrst hotel that was built in 1888. For generations it has been known throughout the region for its gracious hospitality. The Inn has recently undergone renovation and now offers many rooms with Victorian

and Arts and Crafts era antiques and oldfashioned clawfoot tubs, as well as modern amenities. The resplendent bridal suite even has a full-size hot tub. The Bar and Grill is open to the public for lunch and dinner with selections that range from steaks to lasagna, with ﬁsh and chips, chili cheese fries and hamburgers for lunch. The Scotia Inn is located at 100 Main Street, Scotia. (707) 764-5338.

Fisheries Center

At the Fisheries Center, located at the south end of Main Street, visitors can stroll through the life cycles of salmon, trout, pike, stickleback and sculpin living in an environment very much like their natural habitat. Admission is free, and the Center is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the summer, and is open Monday through Friday the rest of the year.

The 1920s era village bank, complete with redwood logs for columns, is now the Scotia Museum, located across the street from the Winema Theater. Admission is free to the collection of historic artifacts, vintage photos, three-dimensional displays, and interactive technology that allows visitors to see how forestry practices and the village itself have changed since the 1800s. The Museum is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. During the rest of the year it is open by appointment — call (707) 764-4114 for information. However the outdoor exhibits, which include a logging railroad engine, a steam donkey and other logging memorabilia, are open year round.

The Winema Theater originally opened around 1920, but has been renovated to include a new movie screen, seats, stage curtains, and upgrades to the sound system and projection equipment.

Fortuna photo by Rick Bickel

armers, merchants and lumbermen from northern Humboldt County established the town of Fortuna around 1875. It was originally called Slide because of its location near a giant landslide between the Eel River and the hills. As the Springville Mill was being constructed, the town’s name was changed to match that of the mill, and because of the numerous springs in the surrounding hills. Its name was later changed back to Slide when it was discovered there already was a Springville, California. Ultimately, the town became Fortuna—because the town’s citizens felt fortunate to live there, the story goes. It wasn’t just the loggers and lumber barons that first settled in the area. Many Eel River Valley settlers were originally drawn to California by the prospects of gold, but they soon returned to the farming life they had known in the East, settling the rich lands of the valley to raise livestock, grains and a variety of fruits, especially apples. The valley’s lush ground yielded large crops of fruits and vegetables. In addition to being used locally, they were also shipped to San Francisco. The dairy industry took an early foothold in the area and became the area’s premier farming occupation. People of different cultures also settled here. They worked in the fish canneries on the lower Eel River or built roads and railroads. In addition to logging, farming, and dairying, commercial fishing on the lower Eel provided a living for many. Italians, Swiss and Portuguese settled the area. Many local descendants can trace their lineage to these immigrants of a century ago. Fortuna is located midway in Humboldt County, some 250 miles north of San Francisco and qualifies as the gateway to the giant redwood forest. Salmon fishing at the Eel River is close to Fortuna. Surf and crab fishing and clam digging on beaches at King Salmon or Humboldt Bay are a short drive away. Fortuna enjoys a moderate climate, which is comfortable in summer, with ample winter and spring rains to provide a favorable growing season. Fortuna is often sunnier than the more coastal towns of Ferndale and Eureka. Fortuna is one of the principal shopping centers for the large expanse of Humboldt County, which lies to the south of Eureka. Retail stores, building supply shops, plenty of lodging and professional businesses make it an excellent resource for the surrounding areas. Tourists and locals alike love the antique shops. Lovely Rohner Park is a focal point with its roller rink, museum, hiking trails, picnic facilities, sports leagues and meeting rooms. Fortunans also are proud of the River Lodge Conference Center, situated near the Eel River on Riverwalk Drive. Pedestrians can access the river via a 3-mile gravel path that follows the riverbank. The peaceful setting is perfect for wildlife viewing, jogging and walking. The warm weather and friendly atmosphere make Fortuna a particularly good setting for a number of annual events. For more than 34 years The Fortuna Garden Club has sponsored the annual Daffodil Show in March that features daffodil competitions, arrangements, music and

refreshments. In June the annual wine tasting and art festival, “Art and Wine in the Park,” showcases local wineries that bring out their finest to taste along with wines from throughout northern California. North Coast artists and craftspeople display their handiwork opposite the wine tasting venue. The third weekend in July is the time for the Fortuna Rodeo, the oldest rodeo in northern California, which is much more than just raging bulls and courageous cowhands! The week-long event includes street games, sports and contests, breakfasts and barbecues, a carnival, dances and shows, and a long parade through downtown Fortuna. July also hosts the three-day Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo when more than 20,000 people come each day to look at cars, an antique show, antique tractors and engines, and have oodles of fun at the ‘50s Sock Hop. In August, Hops in Humboldt features tastings from more than 30 microbreweries, a music festival, food vendors and “beer games.” Fortuna’s Civil War Days take place in September, when re-enactors present living history in a variety of ways, from massive battles with cannon and rifle fire, to depictions of daily life in military camps, refugee settlements and among the people who lived and died during that war. October’s Apple Harvest Festival is a citywide combination farm event, historical celebration and family fun day during which apple-tasting is paired with other food tasting, free cider and balloons. In all directions, recreational opportunities abound. Ten miles to the west, just past the village of Ferndale, is Centerville Beach. About 10 minutes north of Fortuna is the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge with 2,200 acres of seasonal wetlands that attract more than 200 bird species. Humboldt Bay is an important stop for migrating birds on the Pacific Flyway.

Frolic on a Ferndale Beach

Just outside Ferndale, discover a pristine beach on the Pacific Ocean, which stretches for nine miles with dairy farms to the north and steep cliffs to the south. At Centerville County Park and Beach, have an exciting afternoon filled with hiking, picnicking, beachcombing and wildlife viewing. Sandpipers dance on the water’s edge and cormorants, pelicans and gulls soar over the water in search of a meal in the depths below. Between the middle of November and the beginning of March, Eel River Bottoms, visible from the beach, is one of the largest coastal congregations for tundra swans. A cross overlooking the sandy shore memorializes travelers who died in an 1860 shipwreck when a steamer sank offshore. You can spot harbor seals sunbathing on the breakers a short way from the shore. Gray whales can be seen from the beach, migrating south during the winter months and heading north from January

Eureka 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. The next thing to do is get off busy Hwy 101 and into the quiet neighborhoods. A turn toward Humboldt Bay off the highway (4th or 5th 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 St. is the Eureka Boardwalk, which runs for four blocks along the waterfront area. Lined with benches, signal flags and other nautical touches, the boardwalk affords views of the Woodley Island Marina, Humboldt Bay and local wildlife. The city continues to work on waterfront development and enhancement. An easy stroll behind the Carson Mansion at the top of 2nd St. leads to the lovely, massive Humboldt County Library. Comfortable chairs and great views encourage patrons to curl up with a good book. The former Carnegie Library building at 7th and F Sts. 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. For further information, call (707) 442-0278. www.humboldtarts.org The Eureka Theatre, a streamlined modern movie house built in 1939, was renovated by a local nonprofit. The theater is located next to the Morris Graves Museum of Art. For more information, call (707) 442-2970. www.eurekatheater.org A short drive over the Samoa Bridge leads to the Woodley Island Marina. The marina was dedicated in 1981 and has berths for 350 vessels. It is probably the best spot to view the waterfront and much of the local fishing fleet. The Café Marina has outdoor tables, so food and a view can be enjoyed simultaneously. A sculpture by local artist Dick Crane stands at the end of the marina. It is dedicated to the memory of fishermen who have been lost at sea. At the end of the Samoa Bridge, a left turn will take visitors to the Samoa Cookhouse, a lumber-camp restaurant that still serves meals in the hearty fashion of yesteryear. The restaurant also houses a logging museum. For further information, call (707) 442-1659 www.samoacookhouse.net 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. Built on Humboldt Bay in 1910, the Madaket is the oldest continuously operating passenger boat on the Pacific coast, and is operated by the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum, which is located next to the Samoa Cookhouse. The Madaket is also houses the state of California’s smallest licensed bar. For further information, call (707) 445-1910. www.humboldtbaymaritimemuseum.com/ madaketcruises.html Another outstanding museum in Eureka is the Clarke Museum, which has its exhibits housed in a 1912 bank building.

The fort was established in 1853 to assist in conflict resolution between Native Americans, gold-seekers and settlers who began flooding into the area after the discovery of gold in the mines of northern California. Later it became the headquarters for the Humboldt Military District. It was during this period that Fort Humboldt saw one of its most famous residents—young Captain Ulysses S. Grant. The isolation of Fort Humboldt was so unappealing to Grant that after serving as the commanding officer of Company F for six months, he resigned his commission!

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 19th year in March 2009. 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. 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 more than 20 restaurants and bakeries. Live music is featured at many of the venues, and shuttle service is available. For further information, contact the Main Street office at (707) 442-9054. http://redwoods.info/showrecord.asp?id=3609 Blues fans will flock to Eureka’s waterfront in August for Blues by the Bay. The two-day festival attracts blues musicians from around the world to picturesque Halvorsen Park, located on Humboldt Bay in Old Town. The incredible view of the bay and marinas are a backdrop for world premier blues musicians. Seating is first-come, so bring your blanket or low-back beach chair to enjoy classic blues. For more information, call (707) 445-3378. 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

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 All-American 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. For information, call (707) 442-1782. 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. For more information, contact the City of Eureka at (707) 441-4144.

Cruise the Bay on the Madaket

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

The 75-minute narrated cruise takes you along the shores of the bay and Eureka’s waterfront while you learn a bit more about the area you’re visiting. A one-hour cocktail cruise will show you the sights and sounds of the bay while you enjoy a drink from the smallest licensed bar in California. You can privately charter the boat for up to 44 of your friends for a birthday, anniversary or other special events. The M.V. Madaket is run by the friendly people at Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum, which is located over the Samoa Bridge in Samoa. The museum focuses on the boating history of the bay. The Madaket departs from the foot of F St. in Old Town Eureka. For more information on cruises and reservations, call (707) 445-1910. www.humboldtbaymaritimemuseum.com/ madaketcruises.html

Eureka

In 1955, Fort Humboldt State Historic Park was established and repairs began on the fort. So far, only the hospital and surgeon’s quarters have been restored. They are used as museums with exhibits that show the history of the area and how the fort operated. A historic garden has been planted with herbs and vegetables that were available in the 1850s. You can also see 19th and mid-20th century logging equipment, such as “Lucy,” a Dolbeer-type steam donkey, and two locomotives. Guided tours can be arranged. The Fort Humboldt State Historic Park is located in south Eureka, one block east of Hwy 101 on Highland Avenue, near the Bayshore Mall. The park is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily, and there is no entrance fee. For more information, call (707) 445-6567. www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=665

See a pristine coastal habitat at the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge is located on Humboldt Bay just south of Eureka and provides sustenance for migratory water birds, including tens of thousands of shorebirds, ducks, geese, swans and black brant. Established in 1971, the refuge was created to preserve the great diversity of birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, invertebrates and plants in Humboldt Bay. In spring, the bay’s eelgrass beds are a key staging area for brant prior to their return to Arctic nesting grounds. The Refuge grasslands provide important habitat for thousands of Aleutian Canada geese. It is one of the key points for the millions of migratory birds that rely on the Pacific Flyway. More than 200 bird species, including 80 kinds of water

Taste 110 years of Local History

Enjoy an ice cream cone with a 110-year local legacy, at a beautifully restored original confectionary in Old Town Eureka. Bon Boniere Ice Cream was started in 1898 in the old Ricks Building, a landmark at the corner of F St. and Opera Alley. The famous slugfest between famous author Jack London and a local newspaper publisher took place upstairs. The ice cream parlor is a century-old local favorite. Over the years the business has had many reincarnations, moving to Fortuna in the 1950s, then closing for several years. In 1975 local restaurateur and craftsman/builder Mark Carter purchased and

Humboldt County’s “big city.” I found it.

Whether for retirement, recreation opportunities or just a different environment, most people settle here for a better quality of life. The county offers abundant natural beauty, mild weather, friendly towns and a minimum of traffic, crime and pollution. Due to its varied terrain, finding the right spot to settle in Humboldt County can take some study. Properties range from mountain ranches to city apartments, from remote acreage to oceanside inns. All of it at prices a fraction of those in the San Francisco Bay Area, Silicon Valley, Sacramento or other urban areas in California.

Each has its own distinct personality and attributes. Southern Humboldt, also referred to as South County, is a rural, mountainous area blessed with clean air, a warm, sunny climate, towering redwoods, lush state parks, wilderness areas and rugged coastline. Most of its small communities are along Hwy 101 and the Avenue of the Giants, a scenic drive in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. South County has a Mediterranean climate with summertime temperatures in the 80s. Winters are wet but mild, with only occasional snow or frost.

modest homes, country acreage, working ranches and seaside land. To the north in Mid County, the area is still mostly rural, but also includes the vibrant community of Fortuna and the nearby Victorian village of Ferndale, both near Hwy 101. The eastern section of the region is mostly wild country along Hwy 36 and the Van Duzen River. Fortuna, however, is a rapidly growing town with new housing developments being added to its existing housing. Fortuna is generally sunnier than nearby Eureka or Ferndale, both of which experience coastal fog. The friendly community has an attractive municipal park, a riverside community center and a diverse commercial core. The entire town of Ferndale is a National Historic Landmark and will appeal to those who love Victorian buildings, pastoral countryside and small village ambiance. The South Bay section of the county is named for its proximity to Humboldt Bay and includes the most populous city, Eureka. With a population of over 28,000, Eureka has a wide spectrum of housing stock from modest bungalows to ornate refurbished Victorian mansions. Local real estate agents can describe the dozens of individual neighborhoods, school districts and microclimates of Eureka. The bay is a draw for sailors, kayakers and bird watchers. The college town of Arcata is in the North Bay region of the county along with McKinleyville, the county’s fastest growing community. Arcata has consistently higher real estate prices than the rest of the county due primarily to Humboldt State University. With an enrollment of approximately 7,500 students, rental properties are rarely vacant. Furthermore, geographical restrictions leave little room for new housing in the attractive city. Lots on the forested hills above town are slowly being developed and offer panoramic vistas of ocean, coastline and rivers. There has also been some development near the Arcata Bottoms, an agricultural greenbelt to the west of town. Arcata has a unique wildlife sanctuary on the bay as well as a central plaza that hosts numerous annual celebrations. McKinleyville, on the other hand, just seven miles north of Arcata, does have room to expand and it is here that one finds the largest numbers of new homes in the county. The community is striving to find the right balance between growth and its rural roots, but it is still a good place to find a reasonably priced new home. Just east of McKinleyville is Fieldbrook, where most homes are on large lots or acreage. Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®

Victorian Architecture in Eureka

hile Eureka is fairly well known for its Old Town Victorian architecture, there is a hidden treasure trove of Victorian homes to be seen throughout the city. There are over 1600 historically-designated and noteworthy examples of these stunning homes all over Eureka proper. To the south, east and west of Hwy 101 both ornate and unadorned century-old Victorian homes dot nearly every neighborhood. A good starting point for a self-driving tour would be E, F or G Sts. to the south of Hwy 101, going away from Old Town. Many of these homes have been lovingly restored. All have held up remarkably well. If you are a Victorian buff, take a meander through the easy-to-navigate streets of Eureka and see a town whose history is still proudly standing.

Mad River Community Hospital A Tradition of a Hospital in Arcata

ad River Community Hospital is committed to providing exemplary care for visitors and residents living on the North Coast of California. Located in the charming and historic area of Arcata, California, the hospital is a full-service acute-care facility with highly trained, affable staff members. Steeped in health facility history and rich with interesting changes and progression, Mad River Community Hospital continues to grow, relentlessly striving for excellence in patient care. The road to achievement has not always been easy, as challenges have been presented throughout the hospital’s history. In fact, it was in 1911, when the original Trinity Hospital was built at the corner of 13th and G streets. At the time, the hospital had 25 beds, a nursery and two sunrooms. To ensure that maximum lighting was available for surgery, the operating room was situated on the top floor. During that time and for twelve years running, a true pioneer by the name of Dr. George McKinnon ran the hospital, but by 1923, he sold it to Dr. Purlenky. By 1925, the Arcata Chamber of Commerce raised funds to purchase the hospital from Dr. Purlenky, which was then staffed with four doctors and four nurses. It was in 1927 when the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange took over the hospital’s operation and ran the facility until a tragic fire swept through the hospital on

February 3, 1943, causing extensive damage. But the community came together with far-reaching contributions and support and Trinity Hospital was rebuilt in 1944. Operations resumed under the jurisdiction of the Sisters of St. Joseph. By 1968, financial trouble developed for the hospital and two factors set the stage for what appeared to be the final chapter of Trinity Hospital. The first was Humboldt State College announcing their request for funds to be provided in the 1969-1970 budgets for the purchase of the Trinity Hospital site. And the second was when the Sisters of St. Joseph opted to consolidate their Eureka-Arcata operations into one hospital. Citing the lack of state and federal funds for modernization or expansion to a new site and the impossibility of continuing the current facility, the Sisters declared they would close the hospital on June 30, 1969. It was then that Arcata Mayor Ward Falor called a town meeting, at which time the Trinity Hospital Action Committee was formed as a means of representing the future of Trinity Hospital. The committee requested help from American Hospital Management Corporation (AHMC) in building a new hospital as well as operating Trinity Hospital until a new facility could be built. During that period, Allen Shaw was President of AHMC, and he

was very impressed with the way the community and physicians rallied in support of the hospital. As a result, in the fall of 1968, AHMC and the members of the Trinity Hospital Medical Staff purchased 47 acres for the new hospital site from Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Machado, located at the north end of Arcata. Community-wide efforts were underway to purchase the old Trinity Hospital from the Sisters, and the arduous, political process of gaining State approval to build a new hospital began. By 1969 and with no interruption of services or employee layoffs, AHMC assumed the operation of Trinity Hospital from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, with the addition of the County’s first Cardiac Care Unit. Only three years later in 1972, without the assistance of state or federal funds, Mad River Hospital opened its doors as patients from Trinity Hospital were transferred to the new facility. Thirty-five years ago, the future of an Arcata hospital seemed uncertain, but since that time, AHMC has devoted itself entirely to the people of North Coast. To this day, Mad River Community Hospital remains deeply committed to ensuring a choice in communitybased health care on the North Coast. As a health care facility, Mad River Community Hospital provides comprehensive services, which include its well-regarded Birthing Center, offering parents-to-be customized care and support.

In addition, outpatient therapy services are provided through this department as well. Other significant services include an Emergency Department, which provides 24-hour care, as well as Laboratory and Pathology Services that offer round-the-clock assistance complete with comprehensive surgical care that is always available. A first-rate Pain Clinic provides board-certified pain management, plus the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Services Department features physical, occupational, neurological and speech therapies. The Radiology Department is equipped with a MRI, CT scan and x-ray equipment. Moreover, the hospital offers extensive services in the Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine department, which specializes in the treatment of acute and chronic non-healing wounds. In addition, the hospital provides a Home Health Care Department with an expert team of at-home specialists. Furthermore, the services of the Women’s Health Center offers comprehensive and revolutionary diagnostic services including osteoporosis assessment as well as digital mammography for the early detection of breast cancer. “We have great people and we have great medicine,” said Doug Shaw, CEO of Mad River Community Hospital. “We’re a community hospital and therefore we can focus on the needs of our community.”

Arcata

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

Several historic buildings in Arcata have been restored. Jacoby’s Storehouse, located on the south side of the plaza is one example. It was built by Augustus Jacoby, a prominent local merchant, who saw how quickly wooden buildings turned to tinder. In 1857, he completed his “fireproof storehouse.” Built of locally quarried stone and bricks, with decorative stonework and iron shutters, the building quickly became a source of pride to the whole community. The storehouse, designated a Historical Landmark, is one of the most beautiful restorations on the North Coast. Across the plaza is the statuesque Hotel Arcata. The hotel was completely renovated several years ago and is a remarkable example of early hotel design. A restaurant, cocktail lounge and retail shops are also housed in the hotel. Arcata is home to the Minor Theatre, the oldest continuously run theater in the country. The Minor is located at 10th and H streets. Arcata is also home to one of the oldest colphoto by Denise Comiskey leges in the California State University system. Arcata is a wonderful place to spend a few want to enjoy some nightlife.

Explore Mad River County Park

For a magnificent, memorable beach and riverside experience, head straight to Mad River County Park. See wildlife in its natural habitat along the shores of a rushing wild river, which spills into the Pacific Ocean. 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

Arcata. Harbor seals and sea lions can be seen sunbathing near the mouth of the river. Numerous birds scurry along the water’s edge or in the sky in search of a meal. A boat launch is available to fish or explore the waters of the beautiful Humboldt coast. You can build a fire at night on the sand, roast hot dogs and marshmallows or just keep warm at the beach while hanging out with good friends. Mad River County Park can be found by heading five miles northwest of Arcata, going west on Giuntoli Lane and following the signs.

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 a.m. to 8 p.m. Memorial through Labor Day and during the rest of the year when the park host is in attendance.

Enjoy the Godwit Days Bird Migration Festival

Humboldt County is a birdwatcher’s dream. Many different species either permanently reside here or migrate through the area on their way to warmer or colder climates. Discover a great way to view natural bird habitats at the Godwit Days Bird Migration Festival held at the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Area in April. Join kindred spirits as you observe these graceful waterfowl on their northbound journey. One reason why this area is so perfect for birding is the amazing natural diversity of such a small area. Within minutes, move from towering redwood forests to lush river valleys, over sticky mud flats to rugged ocean coastlines. These

different areas support a tremendously diverse bird population. The Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Area is worldrenowned for excellent bird-watching opportunities. At the peak of migration season, during the April festival, go out on the “Humboldt Big Day” and see as many as 110 species on a single outing. This is only one of hundreds of field trips, lectures, workshops and boating excursions that take place throughout the festival. Experienced birdwatchers or anyone interested in learning about birds will find few events better suited for this activity than the Godwit Days Bird Migration Festival.

loving dog owner or just someone who enjoys a scenic walk, McKinleyville’s Hiller Park and Sports Complex is worth a visit. The 58-acre regional park has much to offer. The Sports Complex has two nicely maintained Little League fields, one Babe Ruth field and a softball field, so grab your mitt and toss a few with the kids. Or recruit a team and join the Coed Woodbat Softball League. The league is held from Aug. 3 through Sept. 28. The park also has two youth soccer fields, and is soon to have two collegiate size soccer fields for match play at all levels. Then head 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 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. Hiller Park and Sports Complex is at 795 Hiller Road.

hrouded in mist or dazzling in sunshine, beautiful Trinidad Bay is a jewel on the coast, 19 miles north of Eureka. Its rocky shoreline is protected by Trinidad Head. The bay is the focal point for the small village of Trinidad. It’s a peaceful hideaway, perfect for a weekend or weekday stopover for ﬁshing, beachcombing, hiking, kayaking or just relaxing. There are dozens of private campgrounds, RV parks, cabins, bed and breakfast inns and vacation rentals nearby, as well as some of California’s most beautiful state parks. The ﬁrst inhabitants of Trinidad were the native Yurok Indians who fished the waters from dugout canoes. Yurok descendants are still active in the community today. In 1917 the Trinidad Rancheria was established on land adjacent to Trinidad, and today descendants of the Yurok, Tolowa and Weott peoples occupy the Rancheria. In 1775, the Spanish explorer Don Bruno de Heceta dropped anchor in this small harbor and erected a wooden cross on the headland. Since he

landed on Trinity Sunday, he christened the place “La Santisima Trinidad.” In 1913, the wooden cross was replaced by one of granite. This cross can be reached by hiking the trail around Trinidad Head. Expansive views can be seen from Trinidad Head, including Pewetole Island and Elk Head, and on clear days, you will be able to see as far as Patrick’s Point and Eureka. Modern Trinidad has a population of approximately 435 in its incorporated city. The harbor is home port to a small fleet of commercial fishermen, and there are smokehouses that sell locally-caught salmon and albacore. Art, gift, clothing, quilt and other shops display the work of the many fine local artists and crafters. Charter boats are available at the Trinidad pier for whale watching or fishing. Anglers can drop a line right off the pier. For those who bring their own boats, a marine railway will launch your vessels for a fee. Small crafts such as kayaks and motorboats can be launched right from the beach. Kayaking allows for a more up-close experience with nature and wildlife. Trinidad Cove, with its sheltered waters and stunning natural scenery, is a favorite among kayakers. The rocky coast offers views of seals, sea lions, dozens of bird species and the occasional gray whale. For instructions, equipment rentals and a tour of Trinidad Cove, contact Kayak Zak’s at (707) 498-1130. Kayak Zak’s staff is specially trained and experienced to take anyone kayaking. They also offer Adaptive Paddling, which adapts the equipment and techniques for people with disabilities, preexisting conditions or joint pain. www.kayakzak.com Other attractions include the Trinidad Museum, Humboldt State University Marine Laboratory, Sumeg Village, a Yurok Indian village at Patrick’s Point State Park, and the Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse (recently made wheelchair accessible). The lighthouse offers a panoramic view of the harbor. A trail leads from it down to Indian Beach.

To see more of the Trinidad area, exit Hwy 101 and travel the coastal roads. The old Hwy 101 South is now called Scenic Drive and offers spectacular views of the Humboldt County coastline. Old 101 North is now Patrick’s Point Drive. It’s about a 10-mile drive with exits from 101 at Main Street and Patrick’s Point State Park.

There is a gas station in Trinidad where travelers can obtain fuel for their autos or boats. There is not another gas station to the north until the town of Orick. Across from the gas station are a grocery store, laundromat and real estate office. Just south of Trinidad on Scenic Drive is the Rancheria’s Cher-Ae Heights Casino, situated on a high bluff overlooking Trinidad Head and Trinidad Bay, and offers not only casino gaming, but two restaurants and a lounge, including the Sunset Restaurant, which was voted the best fine dining and most romantic restaurant in Humboldt County. Excellent dining is also available at the Trinidad Bay Eatery and Gallery. North of Trinidad, Hwy 101 presents the traveler with some of the most spectacular scenery in the Pacific Northwest. Among the sights are three lagoons: Big Lagoon, Stone Lagoon and Freshwater Lagoon. All are stocked annually with trout, salmon and steelhead. These lagoons are great places to explore by kayak, canoe or rowboat, or stroll along the water’s edge. Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®

Check out Trinidad State Beach

Tucked down below Trinidad in a sheltered cove is Trinidad State Beach. It is just a short hike through stands of alder trees, along open bluffs with impressive views, and through meadows full of wildflowers. Stand on the shore and gaze out upon the panorama of rugged rock formations, often shrouded in mist, jutting out of the Pacific Ocean. You might spot sea lions sunbathing on the rocks, or at the right time of year, migrating whales. The one-mile expanse of clean sand extends to the high cliffs of Trinidad Head. Tidepool viewing is a safe and fun source of entertainment for the young ones.

Small caves, a natural arch and rock promontories entice the adventurous explorer. A low-tide walk out to the rocks reveals a strangelooking, flowering plant called a sea fig. There are miles of nearby hiking and horseback riding trails. If you enjoy fishing, this area is well known for its bountiful waters. This beautiful spot may become one of your favorites. When you catch something, head over to the picnic area and cook it up on the outdoor grills. The beach is for day-use only, and is open from sunrise to sunset. Trinidad State Beach is located 19 miles north of Eureka off Hwy 101 in Trinidad. For more information, call (707) 677-3570. www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=418 photo by Gregg Gardiner

Go Fishing on the Beach

Fishing from shore with the wind in your hair, sand under your feet and the sound of crashing waves in the background can be a relaxing, tranquil experience. Set up a folding chair, a cooler with cold drinks and bait, and cast your line out into the beautiful Pacific Ocean for a truly enjoyable time.

More than 260 species of birds have been sighted within the park, making this one of the most popular bird-watching areas in the region.

Explore Amazing Fern Canyon

Fern Canyon is a spot in Humboldt County where you can take a leisurely stroll, leave everything else behind and enter a magical world. 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. Fern Canyon is located in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, 50 miles north of Eureka off Hwy 101 on Davison Road. Drive through Elk Meadow and onto a scenic six-mile dirt road to Gold Bluffs Beach. Follow the beach for three miles to a parking lot.

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. The Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway is the only paved route into the park. The busy Visitor Center, located at the southern end of the parkway and built next to Elk Prairie, is the starting point for several hiking trails, some of which follow Prairie Creek, with others traveling over hilly land to the ocean just three miles away. Find self-guided nature trails, as well as more than 75 miles of hiking and biking trails suitable for all-day hikes or short, leisurely strolls. While on a hike, you’ll come across many different kinds of trees, such as Douglas fir, Sitka spruce and red alder, along with western azaleas and rhododendrons. You may also spot wildlife

Hwy 96 / Bigfoot Scenic Byway

top three photos by Steve Hammons

he secluded towns of Hoopa, Orleans, Somes Bar and Happy Camp are strung along picturesque Hwy 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 Hwy 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. Today the tribe continues its culture and lifestyle in the area. At Happy Camp, Hwy 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. www.jeffersonstate.com.

Go Whitewater Rafting on the Klamath River

Whitewater rafting down the Klamath River can be one of the most exhilarating, heart pounding adventures you will ever experience. Climb into an inflatable raft guided by an experienced whitewater rafter and head down the river for the ride of your life. Your adrenaline will begin to flow when you see the rapids ahead. 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 to the Pacific Ocean near the town of Klamath in southern Del Norte County. Rafting trips can take place on the upper and lower portions of the river for a wider range of difficulty. The upper portion, known for its 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 Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®

that can be found in the area from late June through October. Lower Klamath is more easygoing, 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. For your safety, you will be wearing a life preserver and helmet. For more information, call Humboldt County Convention and Visitors Bureau at (800) 346-3482 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.

See the Hoopa Tribal Museum

Thousands of years before the Europeans ever reached the coast of California, Native Americans lived a rich and cultured life in the area now known as Humboldt County. Today, their rich history is preserved and exhibited at the Hoopa Tribal Museum. This tremendous collection displays the heritage of the Yurok, Hoopa and Karuk tribes that once dominated

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

Drive Bigfoot Scenic Highway

There are few drives more beautiful in Humboldt County than the one along the Bigfoot Scenic Byway, also known as Hwy 96. The road begins in Willow Creek, which is also known as the Gateway to Bigfoot Country, and ends 89 miles later in Happy Camp. Along the way, you will go through a region that boasts the most sightings of Sasquatch anywhere in the nation. Impressive mountain ranges on either side, wild rushing rivers and plenty of opportunities for recreation await you on your journey. There are many quaint towns where you can stretch your legs, grab a bite to eat, learn more about the local culture and maybe even partake in a Bigfoot-related festival. Wildlife viewing is also excellent along the

photo by Steve Hammons

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. With the local myths, wild beauty and abundant activities, you may want to make the trip last longer than just a couple of hours, and the ride is well worth it.

Weaverville

he inland mountain region of Humboldt County is rugged terrain dissected by wild rivers such as the Klamath, Trinity and Salmon. Access to the region is via Hwy 299 and Hwy 96. Traveling east from Arcata, travelers pass the hamlet of Blue Lake and the town of Willow Creek some 40 miles further.

nationally and abroad, and theater students from all over the world train at the school.

Willow Creek

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

Trinity County

fishing and hiking are among the favorite activities of the area. Trinity County is known for its stunning views of the Trinity Alps during the wintertime. Anglers from all over the state come to catch winter run steelhead or salmon, from drift boats or from the end of a fly rod on the Trinity River. Along the riverbanks, visitors can spot bald eagles, bears and osprey. Today, more than 13,000 people live in the county. With more than 2,000,000 acres of county land available, there is plenty of open space for the area’s inhabitants. The Trinity River Scenic Byway, also known as Hwy 299, is a breathtaking stretch of road and a must for any amateur photographer. A wealth of seasonal activities draws many new visitors to the area each year. Where gold miners once toiled in the mines all day, people are now fishing, taking river-rafting tours or just relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking scenery. Visitors can enjoy several day activities by driving along Hwy 299 and checking out several campgrounds and turnouts along the way. Trinity County is what the locals call “God’s country” and once you have traveled and experienced the area, you’ll understand why.

Trinity County was established in 1850. The Sunshine, mountains, rivers and outdoor county took its name from the Trinity River, named activities draw people to Willow Creek. Formerly in 1845 by Major Pearson B. Reading, who was a center for mining and logging operations, Willow under the mistaken impression that the stream Creek is now a center for summer recreation, emptied into Trinidad Bay.

Highway 299 ~ Trinity River

Drive the Trinity River Scenic Byway

Between the central valley of California and the Pacific Coast are some of the most magnificent roads you could ever hope to drive. One such road is the Trinity River Scenic Byway, also known as Hwy 299. This roadway crosses an amazing selection of diverse terrain. The Forest Service has called this stretch of highway, “From the Valley Oaks to the Redwood Coast” in an attempt to display all that you will see in the way of habitats and terrain on this breathtaking drive.

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.

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 Hwy 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. The Mad River Fish Hatchery is open daily, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors should call in advance. For more information, call (707) 822-0592.

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

Please say you saw it in 101 Things To Do ®

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 Hwy 299 and Hwy 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.

three major rivers — the Sacramento, McCloud and Pitt. In the 1940s the dam became the centerpiece for the Central Valley Project. Shasta Dam became the second largest dam in the United States, having 6.5 million cubic yards of concrete, standing 602-feet tall and over 3,000 feet wide. It has enough concrete to build a sidewalk around the equator of the earth, three inches deep and four feet wide. Shasta Lake is easily accessible by way of Interstate 5. Just travel north of Redding for approximately 20 minutes, and you will discover one of the premier lakes in California. For more information on Shasta Lake go to shastalake.org for a listing of the business owners around the lake, or call the Shasta Lake visitor information center at (530) 275-1589, or the Shasta Lake Ranger Station at (530) 275-1587.

robably no two areas of Oregon are more beautiful and ﬁlled with adventure than the Willamette Valley and the Oregon Coast.

On the coast is an area encompassing Bandon to the south, and Lincoln City to the north. Inland, the lush Willamette Valley is dominated by the state capital Salem to the north and EugeneSpringﬁeld and Roseburg to the south. Farther east are the Willamette and Umpqua National Forests.

Visitors come to these areas of Oregon for a variety of reasons: to enjoy a scenic wilderness area, to relax at a luxurious resort or to view abundant wildlife. Whatever the reason, this area of varied natural beauty is sure to impress. The counties that make up the region are as diverse as the great state of Oregon. Between Coast Range mountains and the much higher Cascade Range lie verdant valleys with some of the world’s most productive agricultural land, giant, old-growth forests and miles of volcanic wasteland. Historically, English explorer and navigator Sir Francis Drake was the ﬁrst European to set foot in the area. A marker locating the northernmost landing of the Drake armada can be found on Cape Arago in Shore Acres State Park south of Coos Bay. The region is connected by two north-south trafﬁc corridors. Inland, Interstate 5 bisects the fertile valleys of the Umpqua and Willamette rivers. On the coast, Hwy 101 skirts the edge of the continent between the Coast Range and

the Pacific Ocean, offering visitors spectacular views of rocky coastline, lighthouses and crashing surf. In Lincoln County, you can enjoy whale watching or go deep-sea fishing. Visit Newport’s historic Nye Beach, tour the lighthouse, or walk the Bayfront. Also in Newport is the Performing Arts Center and an aquarium that the family will love. Along Hwy 101, the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area spans three counties. Beginning near North Bend and extending more than 40 miles north to Florence, this area of gigantic sand dunes extends as far as three miles inland in some places. A series of inland freshwater lakes, created when the dunes dammed up small streams, provide excellent places to fish, sail or swim. There are national, state, county and private campgrounds throughout. While in the Florence area spend some time exploring Sea Lion Caves. This cave is the world’s largest sea cave, with a height of over 12 stories, and the length of a football field. Sea lions regularly gather in the cave during fall and winter months, but spend time in and around the cave all year living, breeding and raising their young. At the cave an elevator takes visitors down 208 feet into the heart of the cave, to see these fun loving creatures in their natural habitat. (541) 547-3111 The sand dunes eventually give way to one of the world’s largest forest products ports, the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay. The three towns around the bay — Coos Bay, North Bend and Charleston — make up the largest urban area on the coast, known as Oregon’s Bay Area. A combination of beaches, rivers and sloughs provide nature lovers with a variety of recreational possibilities. At Bandon, the southwestern-most town in Coos County, magnificent sea stacks stand just offshore along miles of sandy beaches. The Historic Old Town invites strolling and has a good variety of shops, galleries and restaurants. Inland in Lane County lie the cities of Eugene and Springfield, part of the fertile Willamette

Valley and Oregon’s third largest population center after Portland and Salem. East from Interstate 5 in Springfield, Hwy 126, known as the McKenzie River Highway, leads to McKenzie Pass in the Cascades. Highway 58 east from Eugene is the route to the Willamette Pass and hiking, whitewater rafting, kayaking, fishing and spectacular natural beauty. Sixty-seven miles south of Eugene is Roseburg, in the heart of Douglas County. East on Hwy 138 is the fascinating Colliding Rivers Viewpoint, where the waters of the North Umpqua River collide with those of the Little River. Diamond Lake and the summit of the Oregon Cascades are 79 miles away and Crater Lake National Park is just 20 miles farther. Back in Roseburg, the Douglas County Museum of History and Natural History is worth a visit and includes a Children’s Discovery Room. Nearby are several Oregon wineries open for tours and wine tasting. Outdoor enthusiasts have much to do during the summer and fall months. There’s deep sea fishing from Charleston Marina, or whitewater rafting along the North Umpqua River outside Roseburg. Visitors can windsurf in the bay near North Bend’s mile-long McCullough Bridge, sail a boat on Fern Ridge Reservoir near Eugene, hike or dune buggy in the mountainous coastal dunes along the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area or explore the exotic and eerie lava beds near McKenzie Bridge. For indoor recreation, many try their luck in the casinos. For winter sports, Crater Lake National Park and Mt. Bachelor offer groomed trails for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snowboarding. For downhill skiers there’s Willamette Pass, which has a snowboard park, a speed-skiing track, as well as spectacular views. True adventurers can climb South Sister mountain, one of the Three Sisters in the Cascade range east of McKenzie Pass in Deschutes County. South Sister Mountain is a dormant volcano being watched due to recent signs of awakening. There is also a wealth of cultural entertainment. Numerous community and regional theaters provide performances throughout the year.

endocino County, Humboldt County’s neighbor to the south, is a mix of dramatic coastline, colorful vineyards and rolling hills. Two main arteries, coastal Hwy 1 and Hwy 101 inland, serve the county. Willits, the third largest town in Mendocino County, is located on Hwy 101, approximately 22 miles north of Ukiah. The town was called Willitsville in 1865 and the primary industry was lumber. Today, wood products are still important to the local economy. However, many other industries — such as tourism, wineries and service industries — are also expanding. 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

Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, 101 Things To Do® photo

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 Hwy 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.

he three northernmost towns in Mendocino County — Laytonville, Leggett and Piercy — are strung along Hwy 101 as it follows the Eel River in neighboring Humboldt County. Laytonville is situated 150 miles north of San Francisco. It was founded by a blacksmith named Layton and was a stagecoach stop on the route from San Francisco to Eureka.
