Instead of Winery Hopping, Embark on Northern California’s Cannabis Trail
While you may be familiar with Napa Wine Road, Sonoma County’s seemingly endless string of wineries, the path has a lesser-known, spiritual sibling. Founded in 2015, Oakland’s Cannabis Trail takes travelers on an immersive exploration of the plant through Northern California’s sprawling, redwood-filled landscapes and bustling city streets. Today, the trail announced its collaboration with Visit Oakland, Visit Mendocino County, and the Humboldt County Visitors Bureau. The lush, nine-county trail will add eight new historic landmarks, including Huckleberry Hill Farms in Redway and the Humboldt Cannabis Tours, as well as dispensaries and lounges like Plantshop and The Bohemian Chemist.
