Leggett: US-101: 1 JCT - South

Leggett straddles the South Fork Eel River in northern Mendocino County, and its position near the junction of U.S. Route 101 and State Route 1 has shaped it as a small road stop between redwood country and the coast. The settlement lies within the range of coast redwoods, the world’s tallest tree species, with forested slopes enclosing the river valley. Its best-known landmark is the Chandelier Tree, a living redwood with a drive-through opening at Drive-Thru Tree Park, continuing a distinctly Californian roadside tradition. Travelers use Leggett as a starting point for the winding route toward the Mendocino coast or journeys north through Eel River country.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
