(Currently closed for 2023 and 2024 for renovations) An authentic logging-camp style cookhouse which still survives, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner family style at long tables with checkered tablecloths. No menu to order from, you just eat what they are serving for that meal, but you won't leave hungry! 10% discount for seniors. This has been a Humboldt County tradition for many years.

This Ramone's location is inside Wildberries Supermarket, and is my absolute favorite for baked goods, cookies, pies, cakes, etc. It is open until 9:00pm each night, so it is perfect for people who want a sweet after dinner.

This not-to-be-missed national park and state park combination will introduce you to the tallest trees in the world! I highly recommend the Lady Bird Johnson grove walk, near Orick as one of the finest and most accessible walks.

The little Victorian village of Ferndale is a storybook village that takes you back to small-town USA of 60 or 70 years ago. It has attracted its share of fame because Hollywood recognized how photogenic it is. Several big-budget motion pictures have been filmed in Ferndale through the years. Now it is a place to have a nice lunch, or a coffee, meander through some art galleries, a blacksmith shop, take in a play at the Ferndale Theater, or go to the Humboldt County Fair, which makes its home in Ferndale every August.

The local zoo, this one is set (can you guess?) in a redwood forest. The new Redwood Skywalk lets you take a walk in the tops of the redwoods - going up 100’ high to see the world from the redwoods’ point of view!
