A great site for local hiking and waterfall spotting!!
A beautiful little bit of local history; in 1906, this beach was used as the town dump. The pounding waves broke down glass and pottery dumped here and the pieces broke into small, smooth, colored glass that have now become jewelry quality. There are three sites, but one official Glass Beach in Fort Bragg.

Located in Northern California’s Mendocino County there is a skunk running through the redwood forest, but this isn’t any skunk, it’s the world famous Skunk Train.
