Walks in Mendocino Headlands State Park

This park is a collection of meandering walking paths and trails along the Mendocino coast and Big River. The paths are gentle and oh-so scenic and take you back and forth on the bluffs and have multiple beach access points throughout. You can pop onto a path from almost anywhere in town and it's one of the more magical aspects of Mendocino and the surrounding towns.

I'm always wowed by something whenever I've visited. Wild blackberries line the trails in summertime, random patches of wild collard greens in the winter and most days if you're lucky many a seal spotting.
