Armstrong
Redwoods - The ultimate Russian River hiking destination. There are miles
and miles of trails going through all sorts of ecosystems and covering all difficulties
of terrain. You can stroll beneath the redwoods. Summit mountains to look out
over the Russian River Valley. Drop into the back country to follow creeks or
find waterfalls. Or walk around Bullfrog Pond and have a lunch beneath a shady
tree.
Sonoma Coast State Beach - This stretch
of beaches covers approximately 8 miles of coast from the mouth of the River South
to the town of Bodega Bay. The full length is public property with maintained
trails, beach access, restrooms and parking. Some trails are short, others cover
a significant distance (and the same with the beaches). Highway 1 runs right along
the coast so the best plan is to drive until you seek a section you would like
to explore, then pull off the road and go for it!
