One of the many roadside attractions just south of Garberville, in northern Mendocino County, is Campbell Bros. World Famous Confusion Hill. Listed as a California Point of Historical Interest, and featured on Ripley’s Believe It or Not, this is definitely a one-of-a-kind attraction. It has been the home of mystery and fun since 1949. There are several adventures here including the Gravity House and the Redwood Shoe House. When you step into the Gravity House, your body will seem to defy the laws of nature. You will experience contradictory optical and physical sensations that will make you ask yourself, IS SEEING BELIEVING? There are no right or wrong answers at Confusion Hill.

There is also the unique, miniature, Mountain Train Ride that will take you on a 30-minute ride up the hill and back down. Along the way you will learn about the Redwood Forest and see historical logging equipment on the side of the track. Confusion Hill is also the home of the World’s Tallest Free Standing Redwood Chainsaw Carving that has been listed in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. While there, take a few minutes to pay your respects at the Twin Towers Memorial Trees. There is a gift shop, snack bar and playground for the kids.

Wineries of Humboldt County

Humboldt County is blessed with great artisan wineries. One of the best ways to learn about the wine they make is to visit a winery or tasting room. While many of the wineries are not open every day, a simple phone call will put you in touch with the winemakers and give you the opportunity to visit with them face to face. Not only will you get to taste their wines, but you also have the opportunity to learn how the wines are made and what they were thinking in developing a particular varietal.
