Besides the Redwood forests, fern canyons, coastal dunes & wild rivers; besides the bear and the elk, the owls and racoons , the hawks, herons, and sunbathing sea lions; there's the fishing and boating, the surfing and hiking, the seasonal migrating whales, the annual Aleutian geese visitation, and an occasional Bigfoot sighting.

full-screen photos, panoramas,and

Del Norte County coast

Rich in history, from the pioneering
 days of the California Gold Rush
the wreck of the Pacific steamboat
known as the Brother Jonathan,
 the building of a lighthouse 6 miles
 out on St. George's Reef, -and one
 on the coast at Battery Point
(built 150 years ago in 1856)
  thru the mining,
  lumber-milling, and fishing eras
 Crescent City has seen a lot of
 changes through the years,
 including the wide devastation 
wrought by the tsunami of 1964,
 but retains its "off the beaten path" charm, and small-town spirit.
