I've been on this road back in the mid 90's, as it was one of the most beautiful roads I've ever been on. I was at the time working at the Humboldt Creamery in Fernbridge California. This is one of the few destinations in this country I would love to go visit again.
@@ForgetSomeday joking of course there's nothing to SERIOUSLY watch out for but the people who work there have a reputation for making people feel unwelcome especially if your from away. If you want a good laugh read the yelp reviews for the place
We drove it in a Kia Forte and didn't have any issues. Are far as super low clearance vehicle... I'm not sure. Definitely don't attempt the drive after a rain when the road could be slick. Otherwise, give it a go and turn back if it doesn't seem safe with your car. (You can still drive Mattole Road without the dirt road detour, but it's so worth the drive, if your car allows.)
I drove a hyundai elantra and didn't have trouble as long as I was doing the speed limit. a few of the bigger bumps look deceptively small so don't try to go too fast and let other cars pass you if they want to go faster!
Thank you! Great content! Never knew of this area!!
Great video, thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

We just booked a trip back for this summer. Can't wait. Humboldt is truly magical!
I'll be riding my motorcycle there in the near future, this was very helpful and a great view of the ride. Can't wait to ride it!
Have a wonderful time. Watch out for potholes!
Nice video! I camped there for 2 days in 2021. Need to return!
You camped in the future?! ;)
Interesting place just watch out for the Patrolia general store
Curious... what's there to watch for?

@@xxa455xx Ahh, ok. That's a shame. Seems like an eclectic stop for sure!
@@ForgetSomeday a least it makes for a good story
That, or the store at Honeydew. Same deal. Not the friendliest place on earth.
Can a low clearance compact car make the dirt road if i go slow?

I drove the entire route shown in the video, including the drive to the beach, in my stock 2000 Mazda Miata, so low clearance is not a problem.
