2 Nights & 3 Days in Mendocino: A Taste of Redwood Country Charm

The Cannabis Trail

From waves to woods, Mendocino offers gorgeous views, rustic charm and deep roots in hospitality and cannabis culture.

○ Day 1:

■ Grab some coffee at Black Oak Roasters and head to Plantshop, a unique

and friendly cannabis shop with a gorgeous outdoor lounge and event

space and a selection focused on local sungrown cannabis flowers.

Plantshop is also a Cannabis Trail landmark honoring the Back to the

Land movement and the intentional communities of the area. Grab lunch

in Ukiah.

■ Take Highway 253 on the South end of town over the hill to the beautiful

Anderson Valley. Hang a right on 128 and in nearby Philo you’ll come to

The Madrones, an inn with a Mediterranean elegance that will transport

you to Europe, with an onsite restaurant and boutique cannabis shop.

Take time to explore the unique varieties of cannabis at The Bohemian

Chemist (another Cannabis Trail landmark) and relax on their outdoor

patio, then you’ll be primed and hungry for dinner at Wickson Restaurant.

○ Day 2:

■ After enjoying your morning coffee, pack some snacks and head to Hendy

Woods State Park to enjoy an easy hike and some forest bathing in an old

growth redwood grove.

■ Head west on 128, driving through the redwoods towards the coast. Take

it slow on these windy roads to safely enjoy the view. Just before you

reach Mendocino, turn left at Brewery Gulch Road and park at the pullout,

then walk out to the bluffs at the Mendocino Bay Viewpoint for a

sweeping view of the village and Big River Beach.

■ Once in Mendocino, check in to the MacCallum House and ask about their

“Everything but the Bud” cannabis-themed goodie basket complete with

papers, a grinder, and munchie snacks. Walk over to the adorable Sol de

Mendocino cannabis shop where you can discover the pioneering

activism work of Pebbles Trippet on the Cannabis Trail Landmark signs.

Pick up the “bud”, or other cannabis beverages or goodies to complete

your basket.

■ Enjoy dinner at Luna for authentic Italian food and warm atmosphere, and

book a soak at the nearby Sweetwater Spa or take a stroll through the

charming village. Sunset out at the Headlands is a local favorite as well.

○ Day 3:

■ Enjoy breakfast on the patio at Good Life Cafe before heading north to

Fort Bragg.

■ Pop by Dragonfly Wellness, a legacy cannabis shop focused on medical

cannabis and wellness applications. Get all your cannabis questions

answered here.

■ Enjoy the famous Glass Beach at the north end of town, where you can

continue your walk for as long as you like along the Fort Bragg Coastal

Trail. Enjoy the beautiful ocean views and breeze.

■ After your walk, grab some lunch at Piaci before taking Highway 20 east

to Willits and back to the 101 where you can head south to Santa Rosa to

catch your flight.
