A Unique and Rare Jug Handle


On to  Jug Handle Creek along the California coastline; a unique spot on the map near Mendocino that holds a rare natural phenomenon—an ecological staircase composed of five terraces created over the last 500,000 years by geographical updrift and erosion. 
 
Not only was the area unique, but the campsite was unique too—Jug Handle Creek Farms, a nonprofit nature education center that uses lodging (a 1870s Victorian farmhouse, cabins and campground) to support its mission. Although overcast and rainy, the quaint little out-of-the-way campsite certainly gave way to a few quiet days of exploration and hiking the Jug Handle Creek Trail.
