Beyond the Golden Gate
California’s North Coast

Photography by Larry Ulrich
Essay by Roy Parvin
Preface by Donna Bacon Ulrich

North of the Golden Gate Bridge the legendary coastal route, Highway 1, veers left from suburbia to enter the unique world of California's North Coast.

A landscape of dramatic headlands and rocky, jagged shorelines carved by surf and rivers, the coast harbors rolling woodlands, bucolic wine country, sleepy fishing villages, and artistic communities preserving a slower pace of life.

The North Coast's wet climate nurtures great arboreal forests— notably the coast redwood — the forefront of environmental concern in the region. Ulrich's brilliant, evocative photos and Parvin's lively text inspires both visitors and residents to explore the five coastal counties north of San Francisco— Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte— and seek out their spectacular scenery, backroads, and the enveloping mystery of primeval forest.
