Weekend Getaway: Mendocino, Anderson Valley;

Unique Things To Do, See & Eat Anderson Valley, Mendocino

Mendocino is a beautiful area to visit but when I was in my 20s, I’d go up for the drive alone whether through Anderson Valley or along the coast. Being able to see beautiful scenery, lose cell phone coverage and not see crowds was great.

While most folks go to Marin and Sonoma/Napa for hiking and wine tasting, Mendocino offers both for those who are willing to travel a bit further. Below are some of my favorite things to do in/around Mendocino and Anderson Valley.

Check back soon for updates, more details and additions.
