Just above the town of Ukiah (about 30 minutes from Yokayo Ranch), Montgomery Woods is an isolated and stunning collection of some of California's largest Redwoods, including a 3-mile loop that goes through a virgin redwood grove with some of the tallest trees in the country! If you haven't experienced the redwoods before, it's worth adding to the list.
Step back in time for a magical ride through the redwoods on the world-famous Skunk Train. Since 1885 the historic Skunk has made its way through old-growth redwood groves, over scenic trestle bridges, through spectacular tunnels, and into the heart of the Noyo River canyon. The 2-hour "Wolf Tree Run Journey" departs just 25 minutes away from Ukiah! Book your tickets ahead of time.
160-year-old historic hot spring resort with hundreds of acres to hike offering the only naturally warm and carbonated "Vichy" mineral baths in North America. Just 10-minutes from our venue, also a great place to stay for the weekend!
If you have time, we highly recommend driving to the coast! Fort Bragg, Mendocino, Little River, and Elk are just a few options ranging 1-2 hours drive away from Ukiah. Extend your visit & plan a summer roadtrip along the scenic Highway 1. With 90+ miles of coastline, Mendocino County has a beach for everyone.
We know that some of you are traveling a long distance to attend our wedding. Why not make a summer roadtrip out of it? (Reminder: Labor Day Weekend is the weekend after our wedding đ) On top of the fun recommendations above, you'll be in driving distance of San Francisco (the city we know & love), Lake Tahoe, Napa, the Russian River Valley & so much more along the way. We'd be more than happy to help you plan your adventure - just let us know! đ€
