If you had too much turkey and pie last week, come burn it off with a hike among the redwoods on the beautiful Mendocino Coast! We love getting our steps in and breathing in the clean, fresh air this time of year (although, our little secret, sometimes we bring more pie with us for a mid-hike picnic...)

On this rainy , we’re reminiscing about Noyo Harbor history. It’s been a lively destination, from its establishment in the early railroad and lumber days to the arrival of more tourists and locals (look at those classic cars!) to the present day. Throughout the years, Noyo Harbor has maintained its small-town hospitality and character. We love this little coastal fishing haven 🎣
