A nature reserve that boasts soaring redwood trees.
Reviewed By jsilverman83 - Oakland, United States
Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco, is beautiful, but Armstrong Redwoods blows it out of the water! The sheer density of huge redwoods and beautiful forest makes this spot a can't-miss if you're at all near the area. There are a bunch of moderate-to-difficult hikes with some decent elevation changes. There are some long, but mostly flat and fairly easy hikes. There are some accessible hikes that are short, flat, and still go by some of the biggest trees in the grove. And there is even a paved road that goes quite far into the reserve and has multiple turnouts and parking lots that are right among the trees.

Korbel deli is one of the best delis around. The food is freshly made, mostly local and always delicious. Lots of variety from really good specialty sandwiches and salads to desserts. Reasonable prices and a really nice patio, open and covered. They serve Korbel champagne and Russian River Brewery beers on tap and the setting is welcoming and comfortable for couples, groups and families. A great place to spend an afternoon and you can also take the winery tour or visit the tasting room.

Delightful shop crammed with fun stuff: Cool toys, puzzles, candy (especially nostalgic candies like wax lips and licorice pipes), cards, floaties for the river and a zillion other things. Run by really wonderful folks and always involved in local events. I live here and when I need a card - this is where I go. It's also where I send all my friends, guests and visiting family. Everyone love shopping here.
5. Johnson's Beach
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 95 reviews
For nearly 100 years, Johnson's Beach has been a Guerneville summer tradition whose beauty, amenities, and hospitality make it a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike. With its spacious stretch of pebble beach and jagged blue skyline of majestic redwoods, it is the ideal spot for lounging and playing along the cool current of the Russian River. Johnson's fun, family-friendly beach has something for everyone. The roped-off kiddie pool allows toddlers and beginning swimmers to enjoy the river safely, and the summer dam provides deeper waters for more adventurous swimmers. For the ultimate in kicking back or playing on the water, inner tubes are our biggest crowd-pleasers. They can be rented for a whole day of floating, spinning, and splashing. We also rent boats for extra river fun and exploration, plus umbrellas and beach chairs so you can recline in shaded comfort. Our snack bar serves affordable traditional summer favorites like burgers, hot dogs, and ice cream. And you can top off your lunch with a frosty cold beer from our Boathouse while kicking back in a beach chair and listening to oldies streaming from the speakers.
