Laytonville, CA 95454
Laytonville is a small, rural community and census-designated place in Mendocino County, California, known for its surrounding redwood forests, high elevation for Highway 101, and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Once a logging and ranching center, its economy now focuses on services and community roles, offering outdoor recreation like hiking and camping, cultural events such as the Kate Wolf Music Festival, and a distinct "Old West" character.
Nestled at 1,670 feet above sea level—the highest point along Highway 101 in Mendocino County—Laytonville is a small town surrounded by striking natural beauty. Mountains, redwood forests, and open prairie lands define the landscape, while the Eel River and Ten Mile Creek weave through the area. Just 23 miles north of Willits and about 30 miles from the Pacific Ocean, it offers both seclusion and accessibility.
Today, Laytonville draws visitors and residents alike with its mix of natural wonders and cultural life. Outdoor enthusiasts will find miles of trails to hike, spots for camping, and endless opportunities to soak in the beauty of the redwoods. The town also celebrates creativity, with galleries, music, and the presence of the Cahto Indian Reservation enriching its cultural fabric. Annual events like the “Best Lil’ Rodeo Around” and the beloved Kate Wolf Music Festival bring people together from near and far.
At its heart, Laytonville is a “Frontier Community”—a place that still carries the warmth and authenticity of the Old West. With a strong sense of spirit, a thriving creative scene, and a friendly, close-knit atmosphere, it’s the kind of town that feels both timeless and welcoming.
