## Caption

4/16 #CaliforniaWild #sponsored post • I think our group saw and did more things during our short time in the #NorthCoastCA than I could explain or talk about in a month. So sharing this photo of the view from Point Arena Lighthouse is sharing only a fraction of what there is to do in this amazing region characterized by stunning coastline, soaring Redwoods, locally-sourced food, rugged landscapes, glass beaches, fog-blanketed towns, lighthouses of all shapes and sizes as well as characters you instantly want to be friends with for life! • I hope you've checked out posts from my colleagues @ottsworld, @borderfreetravels & @stuffedsuitcase to see more? • You can also follow our awesome local guide/driver/new BFF @kellyenglish78. Kelly is a true Californian with roots here that pre-date the gold rush! • But about this Lighthouse I was standing in when I took this photo: it's the tallest you can climb to the top of on the West Coast and my goodness is the view ever awesome. From this high up, I could see grey whales breaching off shore and in the distance the Stornetta Public Lands where we experienced a thrilling tour with Margaret of @ourunbeatenpath (highly recommend this!) and I felt like I could see all the way to the marvelous Mar Vista Cottages where we spent our last night and morning in the North Coast, where I highly recommend you stay if you visit this region. I couldn't see all the way to the town of Mendocino but I was still thinking of it after we'd had a wonderful lunch there and in this moment I was marveling at just how STUNNING California is, period.... #ThisIsAdventure #fujifilmx_us #fujifilmxt2 #VisitCalifornia #pointarena #exploremore #VisitMendocino
