Everything on Hiking in California
Whether you like the leisurely self-guided hiking from winery to winery or craggy backcountry hiking thru spotless badlands, tons of California hiking options await the itinerant hiker like you, and should actually be included in your backpacking checklist. But if you'd like to find a side of California you have never witnessed before, then start with the State's Northern Coast.
Hiking some 20 miles north of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge will reveal to you a California you never knew existed. Following the Pacific Coast Highway (Route 1), meander past pumpkin patches, Yuletide tree farms, grazing horses, and cities right out of the 1950s and at the end of it all are ancient redwood forests, rugged shores, pretty vineyards, and charming country inns.
You can take Occidental as your first stop in your long California hiking trip. A love city nestled in a redwood forest near the Russian Brook, Occidental was once a previous lumber and railroad center. Now, the city is feted for its family-style Italian bistros.
During your stopover, you can use your time watching whales and sportfish at Bodega Bay or take a look at the wineries along the Russian River Wine Road. The Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve also offers great California hiking when you become bored with the stationary life.
After Occidental, keep your eyes open as the next city is one of those blink-your-eyes-and-you-miss-it cities. Perched high on a cliff overlooking a mile of beautiful coastline along Route 1, Elk is 20 miles south of Mendocino where migrating whales can be spotted off the coast in December when they head south and in the early spring when they head north with their calves.
California hiking through this city feels like going back in time to almost 100 years ago when Elk was a busy port with a flourishing lumber industry and a population of 2,000. You may even make some arrangements for horseback rides, whale-watching ship trips or a picnic lunch. And, of course, what is California hiking without a tour through the wineries? You can find 15 these in Elk inside a 30-minute drive.
Next stop: Mendocino. This picturesque bluff-top village is trapped on three sides by rough shore. Mendocino is legendary for its ultra-unique architecture, reflecting the town's roots (it's early settlers were from New England).
Mendocino has the distinction of having the most beautiful main streets in America. Each shop in the 4 block area has an ocean view. Shops? Of special note are the Book Loft with a good choice of books, Mendocino Art Center Showcase Gallery featuring the work of local artists and crafters, Mendocino Chocolate Co. Famous for its handmade truffles, and a few more.
Feel just like in the movies when you go California hiking in Mendocino. The town's charms have not been lost on the film industry. Beginning in the silent film era, more than 50 films have been shot here, including the six that have received diverse Oscars "Johnny Belinda (1948), East of Eden (1955), and The Summer of '42 (1971).
And that ends your California hiking trip through the North Coast. If you want to go on, noted parks for California hiking enthusiasts include Point Reyes National Seashore, Sequoia and Kings Ravine National Parks, Yosemite Falls, Yosemite State Park, John Muir Countrywide Important Site, and plenty more.
California hiking has never been this full of options.
