Ridge: US-101 : South Ridgewood Grade - Looking South (C027)
Few places in California’s Coast Ranges have a history as closely tied to the Redwood Highway as Ridge. Ridge is a small road locality on U.S. Route 101, south of Willits in Mendocino County. Here the highway crosses the inland Coast Ranges, whose wooded ridges and dry, oak-dotted slopes mark the transition between the Pacific coast and California’s interior. Route 101 links this corridor with Ukiah to the south and Willits to the north. In California, the long-distance road is traditionally known as the Redwood Highway, a name associated with the route toward the redwood country of the far North Coast. Ridge is defined less by a town centre than by this mountain-road passage through rural Mendocino County.

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.
