Heiken Road Trip: Southern Oregon + Northern California
May 4 - 12, 2019
Part II: Avenue of the Giants + Mendocino, CA + Sonoma, CA (5.7 - 5.8.2019):
We left the Eureka Inn and headed further south for the final pieces to our Redwoods adventure: drive through the Avenue of the Giants! We also walked the Founders Tree (height: 346.1 ft; diameter: 12.7 ft; circumference: 40.0 ft) trail in Founders Grove in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Lunch at Avenue Cafe in Miranda, CA.
After our final tour of the Giants, we made our way south onto Hwy-1 toward Mendocino, CA.
We checked into our quaint hotel, Hill House, then we cruised the cute streets, coastal bluffs and beyond!
We saw the prettiest of flowers and ones that looked straight out of Dr Seuss.
Dinner at Mendocino Cafe. Then, drinking with the locals at Dick's Place - complete with late night fresh crab!
A saunter through Mendocino Headlands State Park the next morning; succulents for days!
Then, a quick stop at Garden Bakery before we hit the road to wine country & Sonoma!
Delicious lunch at El Molino Central.

That's it for Part II of our road trip.
Next up: visit with Aunt Ruth and daughters + San Francisco!
Stay tuned.
