Information Guide for Visitors

First You Have to Get Here!

Whether you're here for an hour, a day, a week, or a lifetime, we know you'll enjoy your Trinidad visit.

Many discover Trinidad on a road trip. U.S. 101 is one of the original U.S. Routes established in 1926. It's also the most western and one of the longest U.S. Routes. In California, northern 101 is called the Redwood Highway. It is spectacularly scenic north and south from Trinidad. Trinidad's exit is at Humboldt County postmile marker #101.

OK You're Here, So Now What?

Our Tourism Web pages will help you plan your Discover Trinidad visit. Grouped along with links to our Chamber of Commerce, they will help you find all kinds of helpful places and people in our community. Not only will you find lodging, dining, and shopping, but we've also listed community organizations and service providers, and fun fishing charters. Remember, Trinidad Visitors return year after year and the happiest of them stay a lifetime.

Get Here!

Eureka/Arcata Airport (10min) : United - United Express 800 864-8331, Alaska - Horizon Air 800 547-9308, Delta - 800 221-1212

Greyhound Bus - 800 231-2222; Humboldt Transit Authority - 707 443-0826

Conservative drive times: Portland 8hr, San Francisco 6hr, Sacramento 6hr, Grants Pass 3hr, Redding 3hr, Mendocino 4hr.

If you have time, take the coastal way to San Francisco - State Route 1. It starts south of us at Leggett where there's a drive-thru tree opportunity. Wind through a redwood forest and pop out dramatically on the Coast. After Fort Bragg and Mendocino, there are opportunities to cut back to U.S. 101, but know you'll be missing some charming coastal towns. There are special Pinot Noir Wineries and Bahl Hornin' (good drinking in Bootling) at Beer Festivals along SR 128 in Anderson Valley ( AndersonValleyChamber.com ). If you make it all the way, don't miss the funky little town Bolinas at the southern tip of Point Reyes National Seashore. They frequently pull the sign down to keep it secret and avoid discovery. After Stinson and Muir Beach, SR 1 rejoins 101 close to Sausalito, and shares it on the Golden Gate to San Francisco.

Learn More About Our Chamber

Greater Trinidad Chamber of Commerce

Promoting the Economic, Civic and Social Welfare of the People of Greater Trinidad

The Greater Trinidad Chamber of Commerce is as unique as Trinidad is itself. Local business owners you'd expect to see in a Chamber of Commerce join with a special group of enthusiastic supporters - their individual members. Working together, donating innumerable volunteer hours, the Chamber helps preserve the traditions and charm of Trinidad. Supporting our local businesses and organizations, they proudly share not only our charming City, but also the beautiful Greater Trinidad Area surrounding it.

The Chamber and event sponsors put on many traditional annual events and dinners. Besides being fun for all, these events fund Chamber projects and provide contributions to local organizations. Our largest events are the Trinidad to Clam Beach Run and the Trinidad Fish Festival.

Profits support the Chamber and annual scholarship funds. Their Academic Excellence Award goes to qualifying seniors, graduating from local high schools, who attended Trinidad Union Elementary School or Big Lagoon Elementary. Our Trinidad School Math Award is presented to an 8th grade math wiz graduating from Trinidad School, and our Higher Education Grant is open to Chamber Members and their families seeking vocational or adult training.

In addition to events and scholarships, they continue to publish the "Discover Trinidad" brochures locally. With a Greater Trinidad Area Map and a City Map close-up, the brochure is a helpful resource for Trinidad Visitor Information. Working with the Humboldt County Convention & Visitors Bureau they advocate responsible tourism and encourage visitors to "stay another day" in Humboldt County.
