Hiking
The Arcata Ridge Trail winds through redwoods and the well-preserved Sunny Brae Forest. It’s a quiet, shaded path, perfect for a short loop or a longer hike if you link up with nearby trails. The trailhead is easy to access and close to town, but once you’re on the trail, it feels like you’re miles away.
