Travel Note
Getting Around
Rental Cars: We recommend renting a car while you’re here. Rideshare options are limited, and having a car makes it much easier to get to the venue, explore the area, and enjoy the coast and redwoods at your own pace. Driving Tips: Humboldt County roads are beautiful, but can be winding, narrow, and occasionally foggy, especially near the coast. Give yourself a little extra time, take it slow, and enjoy the scenery. Cell service can be spotty in some areas, so downloading maps ahead of time is a good idea. Rideshares & Taxis: Uber and Lyft exist in the area, but can be unreliable, especially late at night or for larger groups. Here are the cab companies that are available, just know they can sometimes have long wait times. You can call and reserve rides ahead of time.
