| This
is simply THE BEST trip! |
 |
Cavernous
sea caves bounce light off walls covered with rich
intertidal life; arches create chambers lit from
below. Maybe you'll even paddle through a waterfall!
If this isn't enough, a paddle up Big River offers
a "far from civilization" feeling of solitude with
otters, beaver, falcons, hawks and bald eagles against
the backdrop of gigantic redwoods. |

Fascinating Facts:
-

and is home to flounder, Dungeness crab, salmon and
steelhead trout.
- Mendocino
is known as the "Cape Cod" of the West Coast because
of its architectural style.
- At
Van Damme State park there is a guided nature trail
that highlights the ecological staircase of Mendocino.

San Andreas Fault lies just offshore of the Mendocino
coast.

of '42," and "Murder She Wrote" have used Mendocino's
special setting for filming.

Mendocino once bustled with over 20,000 people during
its time as a burgeoning lumber town. Today the population
hovers around a mere 1,000.
