Review:
Russian Gulch State Park is two miles north of Mendocino. Features of the park include a three mile long leafy canyon, more than a mile of ocean shore, a rocky coastline, windswept headlands and pristine beaches. The climate is temperate most of the year but changeable. Mornings could be misty, summer brings fog at any time and rain clouds are common in winter. The trail along the coast to the collapsed sea cave takes approximately an hour. Inland, the trail to the 36 foot waterfall takes half a day. It would take a full day to see the canyon and the headlands. Some trails are suitable for biking.
