Mendocino National Forest
The Mendocino National Forest has a couple of accessible trails at Chico Seed Orchard. The Orchard produces plants for a wide variety of projects ranging from reforestation and mine reclamation to biological, chemical, and clinical research on anti-cancer drugs derived from plants. The Mendocino is uncrossed by paved roads. Its elevation goes from 750 feet in the Grindstone Creek Canyon in the Sacramento Valley foothills on the Forest’s eastern edge to the 8092 feet of South Yolla Bolly Mountain in the northern part of the Forest.
