And you can check out the Carson Mansion right down the road!

City advice
What to pack
Rain or shine
Humboldt county is known for its volatile weather. You can wake up to sunshine and then by the time you leave the house it could be raining, so dress in layers and bring a coat! (And a tank top :) )
