Mendocino, California is one of the most beautiful and scenic destinations of North America in my book. This very place inspired me to ask my then girlfriend to marry me and we have fortunately been back to visit once since then. I cannot say enough great things about the area which encompasses the Redwood forest and the neighboring towns of Boonville and Yorkville.
