North Coast Night Lights: Beauty on the Redwood Highway

by David Wilson on September 12, 2019 at 4:19PM

Here on the North Coast one could spend that same hour driving through places like this stretch along the Redwood Corridor… and for an hour of beauty you’re transported 65 miles away (for some drivers a bit more!). All the while you are driving among the hills, along rivers, high above Pacific vistas, through parks and forests full of clean air.

On Saturday, Sept. 7, mountain bikers came from all over the West Coast for Mad River Enduro. The race is a rare chance for mountain bikers to ride a trail system normally closed to the public as the trails are on Green Diamond land and are maintained by the Redwood Mountain Biking Association.

North Coast Night Lights: Eel River Stargazer

Soaking in the rejuvenating energy of the river and redwood forest beneath the cosmic rays of the galaxy, we stood tiny on the great stage of the universe. In between staring into the depths of the cosmos we captured images of its grand magnificence and shrunk them down to our little screens to examine with little oohs and ahhs of delight.

North Coast Night Lights: Tule Fog on Humboldt Bay

North Coast Night Lights: Metal Beast and Stardust Skies

No, the road out to our place was no longer a through road, but Rand McNally and other makers of folding travel maps of the ’70s, ’80s, and 90s apparently never got the word. We turned back many a traveler who would try showing us by the little lines on their map that the road did, in fact, go through to the coast or to Piercy, while we would point to the bald fact that it did not go through.

North Coast Night Lights: Reflections at Richardson Grove

I hadn’t intended to write a review of the campground, just another Night Lights of the North Coast story. But this is feeling a little like a review, and I loved my time there, so let me say right here that I completely recommend taking the family to Richardson Grove State Park.

If you were wondering, the coast did set a record temperature for the day yesterday at 71. That bested the 2003 high of 70, according the Eureka office of the National Weather Service.
