With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Redding, 40 miles away, has to offer. Bethel Church, Win-River Casino and Sundial Bridge alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t forget about Garberville either! Just 45 miles away, Humboldt County Office, Mateel Community Center and Richardson Grove State Park are non-negotiable stops here.
