From towering redwood forests to breathtaking coastlines and majestic mountains, this region has it all. So buckle up and get ready to embark on a journey along these six most beautiful backroads in Northern California, where awe-inspiring vistas and hidden gems await at every turn. 1. State Route 160. California 160, CA-160, Walnut Grove, CA, USA. Mattole Road. Paved road. This is one of the best drives on the Northern California Coast and it passes by an amazing beach at the mouth of the Mattole River. Signed for Petrolia, Capetown and Honey Dew, the start of Mattole Road is on Ocean Avenue in Ferndale, a picturesque town near the coast. Needles is the last California town on the historic highway before leaving the Golden State into Arizona. It's a landmark for travelers because of the pointy needle-like mountains nearby.
