Del Norte County, California
Del Norte County sits way up in California’s top left corner. It’s a place of big trees and a wild coastline. The population is small. Only around 28,000 live here. But the natural beauty is immense.
Crescent City is the county seat and main town of Del Norte County. It’s right on the coast and is like a gateway to the Redwoods National and State Parks.
The area is also known for its lighthouses, like the Battery Point Lighthouse, which has stood watch since 1856. It’s remote, it’s beautiful, and it’s undeniably California.
