Exploring Redwoods in Mendocino

The Mendo coast is known for cool coastal fogs and craggy sea cliffs, but 20 minutes inland the sun cuts through the fog and temps rise dramatically. A handful of underrated redwood forests await exploration. Hendy and Montgomery woods offer some of the oldest groves on the planet, groomed hiking trails snake under the towering trees, and a new redwood-climbing wall and zipline course stretch across 450 feet in Fort Bragg.

Stay: From November to May, you can spot California gray whales from your ocean breakfast table at the Elk Cove Inn (from $199) in the town of Elk.
