Perhaps you've already seen the majestic northern CA redwoods and are looking for something a little different. Head to the Mendocino coast and check out the pygmy forest. The trees are centuries old-yet just over a foot-and-a-half tall at some points. Scientists think poor soil quality has stunted growth.
The Jughandle State Reserve is recommended as one of the best places to see the trees. Although be prepared for a long hike beforehand to get up there.
