Mendocino, California is a destination steeped in coastal logging and fishing history. Black and white photographs cover the walls of local bars, hotels, and restaurants, telling the stories of early settlers, loggers, and salty fisherman. For 4 nights and 5 days, we will ride our bikes through the forests and by the waters where these historical stories took place. If you’ve been interested in riding your bike through the mighty Redwoods, Mendocino Gravel is a perfect balance of active travel and oceanside relaxation. Salmon or halibut one night and grass-fed tri tip from moments down the road the next; ‘Princess Seafood’ and ‘FEED Sonoma’ lead our food purveyors list, providing hands down some of the best ingredients we serve during the year. Join us at the McCallum House, where we are 1 mile from outstanding adventure in any direction.

• 30+ daily miles amongst the Redwood trees inside the Jackson Demonstration State Forest
