The Bohemian Highway is one of the most scenic drives to be found anywhere in California. This special 10 mile roadway winds through towering redwoods, gorgeous pastures, rocky ravines, and three charming townships forgotten by time: Freestone, Occidental and Monte Rio. Buffered from the extremes of the marine fog and inland heat, this corridor is a gem of benign climate and was one of the very first areas to be settled in the entire region.

Today, a Mecca for artists, back to the landers and nature lovers, this special region has attracted a soulful community with a milieu all its own. Here you will find organic farms and wineries, specialty nurseries, and all kinds of innovative shops and restaurants. It's also a gateway to superb hiking, biking and paddling.
