Exciting in Arcata

We heard from color spotter Michelle Pontoni over the weekend when she spotted “exciting color” in Arcata. You should GO NOW! to this area.

She found it along both sides of West End Road and when she turned left onto Warren Creek Road.

As you approach the Warren Creek Trestle you are surrounded by huge trees of golds and yellows.

“Passing under the trestle takes us back to remembering the Annie & Mary Railroad in the ‘50’s when the foliage was sparse aside the same trestle,” she said of the area’s history.

Pontoni also warned against getting too distracted by the colors as you drive.

“Pay attention to the road as you take in the color. It is narrow and curvy. Watch for bicycles. “
