Beyond the golden gate

"Welcome to California's spectacular North Coast. Journey northward beyond San Francisco's legendary Golden Gate through a strikingly varied landscape: three hundred miles of rugged coastline, two million acres of forest, and a rich history of lumber barons, Russian fur trappers, lighthouse keepers, and tenacious settlers. Today the North Coast's parklands, vineyards, country inns, and artist communities draw visitors to this slower-paced region.

Larry and Donna Ulrich have followed their fascination with the North Coast's majestic redwood trees, quiet beaches, and meandering backroads for three decades, photographing landscapes from their home base in Humboldt County. Join them to discover their favorite places along California's North Coast."--BOOK JACKET.
