Mendocino Outdoors
The Fifth Edition of Mendocino Outdoors sets a new standard for Mendocino Coast guidebooks. Now an ebook, Mendocino Outdoors is your guide to outdoor activities on the Mendocino Coast. It covers all of the parks and preserves in the area, from the Lost Coast to Gualala, plus some inland jaunts to the wine country and some of the tallest trees in the world. The guide is filled with full-color maps of all the areas described in the book, as well as photographs to show you why you want to visit the various locations. Click on any example image below to see samples of the book. Rounding out the book is a generous helping of practical info for visitors, such as locations of banks, grocery stores, pharmacies, mechanics, towing services, and more. It also describes the many activities, services, and lodging establishments that welcome dogs.
Because the Mendocino Coast spans over a hundred miles, I’ve divided it into 3 sections, and the 3 chapters correspond to those regions.
