The view from King's Ridge is incredible. I spoke to someone in Guerneville who puts up film crews that go up there to do car commercials due to the lack of traffic, excellent weather, awesome backgrounds & easy helicopter permitting. Take plenty of water; no services up there. And when you go thru Cazadero, stop at the bakery. They have loose hours & close when they sell out but if you hit them when open it's a neat place.
