Things To Do

For the family and friends that are coming in from out of town: Nearby City of Ukiah will have the most options for lodging and restaurants. For Food Casey recommends: The Alley Grill in Ukiah or 101 Burger in Willits for a fantastic burger or a quick bite. & Melissa recommends: Lalo's Mexican Truck, and Captain Dee's in Redwood Valley for a great food truck bite. ~~~ If you're looking for something to do in the days prior to the party, these are some of our favorite spots in the county to spend the day!
Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve

Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve

15825 Orr Springs Road, Ukiah, CA 95482

If you haven't been here before, a few things to know. First off, its gorgeous. Old growth redwood trees everywhere. There is a meandering creek that follows the pathway all the way to the end of the trail. There you will find the biggest tree at the reserve that we won't even try to explain how humbling it is to stand next to. Follow the bridge across and the trail will loop back to the first clearing. Most of the hike is very easy with limited tripping hazards. But to get to it there is a fairly steep path almost right when you start the walk. Its a short hill and once you're past it, the walk is pleasant and refreshing.

Brooktrails Golf Course

Brooktrails Golf Course

24860 Birch Street, Willits, CA 95490

This is one of our favorite Disc Golf Courses! This course has been featured in pro tournaments and is loved by the locals! Second growth redwood trees, another beautiful creek! What's not to love?

Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens

Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens

18220 California 1, Fort Bragg, CA 95437

If you're up for the drive, this is the place to go. Along with a bunch of other great things to do in the City of Fort Bragg, the Gardens is a perfect place to explore. You will pass through countless gardens on the way to the ocean bluffs. Lots of art and history for the area will be found along the path to the sea. We urge you to stop at the dahlia garden as it will be in full bloom in August. You will see quickly why we plan to elope here!
