An absolute blast! With so much to do here in the coasts of California, it might be easy to miss…read moregems like these. It was our first time Kayaking and by the end of it we felt like experts! (Relatively speaking). It's easy to drive by this place but if you see a sign that says Smith River Kayaks, do yourself a favor and stop there, especially if you're looking for a good time. You'll be greeted by one of the coolest kinds of people you'll ever meet, the guy that runs the joint. He very informative, funny, and is great at asking questions to figure exactly where your skill level is. We did about a 5 and a half hour kayak down the smith river through some smooth waters, And some not so smooth 101 rapids. We enjoyed every last bit of it, the view was beautiful most of the ride down and it felt like a massive adventure. Towards the end of the trip we even got to see some otters and some river seals! Prices were very good compared to some of the other places we looked at and honestly feel like we wouldn't have gotten the same experience elsewhere and mainly because all other places are missing one key ingredient. The man that runs this show, he's a one of a kind character you only meet one in a life time. He was a blast to be around and a blast to listen to. He made the whole experience seamless and incredibly rewarding. We will definitely be returning next time we return to Crescent City!

We started searching the area for a good, private, fun charter weeks before our planned trip to…read moreCrescent City. After talking with about a half dozen charters, we settled on Brad with Crescent City Fishing Charters. We liked how friendly and informative he was, so pleasant over the phone. He proved to be just as pleasant in person the morning of our trip. Brad went over some safety things for us and the kiddos, and got right to making sure we were comfortable. Throughout our trip, Captain Brad helped us get to where we needed to be to have the most fun and catch the most fish. He helped us with our poles, fixing our lines, and helping when needed to get our fish in. He didn't even get upset when we lost lines. :-) The boat was super nice, comfortable, and we could all be either inside or outside depending on preference. We had all the help we needed throughout the whole trip, down to cleaning and packaging our fish when we were done. We all caught our limits on everything by the way. (He had a little help with all his fancy equipment.) Captain Brad made our trip one of the most memorable ever, and we can't wait to go back out with him.

He gets everything arranged, gets you fitted with the right bike, and sends you out with a guide to get you through the forest on bikes. The guide we had today was Josh and he was very good! ( after biking he added his sweet dog, Annie, to the group for the rafting section!) along our biking he told us some fun facts about the Redwood Trees and some exotic plants! Our biking section of the day was GREAT! It is actually a perfect ride you start on pavement and then you end up on a gravel road with some uphills and some downhill but nothing super steep allowing you to take in the scenery. Can the forest be any more beautiful!! The trees are enormous!! Some have been burned, some struck by lighting, some both!! But they are still standing! After biking we drove to the Smith river where they laid out a great lunch! After lunch we geared up for river rafting down the Smith River, the only un-dammed river in California! It is spectacularly clear! Since we were here in June, the river was not super deep, but we did have some fun rapids and some really nice open spaces that were very mellow, allowing you to take in the scenery! For those more daring there is a stop where you can jump off rocks into the water. The rafting portion lasted about 2 to 3 hours. Our entire day started at 9:30 and we were done around 4 PM. I thought it was a fantastic way to spend the day! I highly recommend them.

Years ago, long before Mrs. Picante del Monte and I tied the knot, we took the long drive north to…read moreJedediah Smith Redwoods outside of Crescent City, CA to camp and hike and cook over fire and do boyfriend & girlfriend kinda stuff. An outdoorsy gal to match my own granola-ish tendencies, she chatted up a couple of locals at the gas station about nice beaches in the area. An old gnarly hippie, who most likely spoke Boontling as his native tongue, told us about Enderts Beach on the south side of town, and off we went to seek our own insular Tahiti in the cool, perpetual overcast of extreme NorCal. We pulled off Hwy 101 and started down the long stretch of two lane highway, flanked by blackberry briars and wildflowers, to a nondescript turnout and a deer path heading out toward the dunes. Soon, we were walking through long-standing spider webs, as garter snakes skirted across our path, appearing and disappearing just as quickly in the thick green blanket of grass and blackberry vines. Along the way, we picked handfuls of the wild berries and popped them in our mouths, savoring the sweetness of the fruit, and the equally satisfying beauty and solitude of this place. Just a few yards from the trail, a black bear busied herself with her own berry gorging, seemingly oblivious to our passing. Truly, this was one of the most wild and untouched places we had ever been, and so close to the highway. The beach itself is wide and clean, heavily influenced by the tide and the relentless surf that pounds this part of the California coast into submission. Sand crabs, sand dollars, shorebirds, and--at high tide with the right bait-- red tailed surf perch are plentiful. An osprey hunting fish outside the surfline was a welcome sight, as was the occasional bear that would lumber along where the blackberries met the sand. Lots of driftwood, agates on the rock piles, and sea glass polished by the surf made beach combing productive. SoCal beaches can't even begin to compare to this level of natural beauty, even off the beaten path spots like Padaro, Blacks, and El Capitan. If you ever have the chance to enjoy a beach like Enderts or many other spots from Southern Oregon down along the Lost Coast of California, please take a moment to see nature as the Great Programmer intended it. It truly is a Thin Place-- a location where the distance between heaven and earth are significantly closer than average.

I recently stopped by on a visit, looking for a place to enjoy a little lunch and the areas scenery.

The waters have Danger signs warning folks all along the walkway to the jetty of the dangers of the northcoast waters and that you are risking your safety and life being out there. Storms, rough waters, rogue waves and sneaker waves can all sweep you off into the ocean, and this water is cold. Note to self, stay off the jetty point. A cool place to visit, see the ships come in and out and enjoy the view.

You are purposely taking your life into your own hands and the odds are stacked against you. Pictures to follow of the signs.
