Cruisin’ the neighborhood from Fort Bragg to Willits on Highway 20 takes you from cold coastal fog into warm inland sunshine as the road climbs through changing forests and rolling hills.

It’s a simple, familiar run over the hill — a look at how quickly the landscape transforms when you leave the coast behind.
