I miss Huell Howser
My immediate thought was he was copying Huell Howser too.
Back when California was part of Mexico, the Tehachapi Mountains were considered the border between Southern and Northern California.
Bidwell park is phenomenal too, in Chico CA
Shhhh!!
He only covered 1% IMO of Northern California. The backroads of Northern California offer plentiful of sceneries. We Just drove h-way 20 from Sacramento to Fort Bragg, and discovered that it was a scenic drive, from an empty rural areas then to Lake county passing scenic Clear lake then driving to the mountains with giants Redwood then to the the ocean.
So true Mikee! This half hour segment only covered a fraction of places. Here is a link to an interactive map which shows all the places I've been including several on HWY20 www.abc10.com/bartells-backroads
Hwy 20 is a ways north of Sacto. Very nice ride from the valley going east to where it ends at I-80 a few miles below Donner Summit.
any places that you recommend for a wondering gypsy such as myself? looking for a nice place in no -cal to settle.
@@IronCladAdventurer Almost anywhere North of Sacramento is usually a good bet.
Way cool! And thank you for sharing this video. I gotta get out more! I'm 73 years old, born and bred of 49er stock, I still didn't know about many of these. Always wanted to see Burney Falls, just never got around to it. Did my rafting mostly on Oregon rivers, but there's still more to see! I gotta get going!
The falls are amazing! I was born in California and have lived here my whole life, still do. It took my Scottish husband planning a road trip to discover them. 😂 He’s the best road trip planner. Love him!
Hello friend how are you doing over there
For someone who has never been.. Anything not related to the city I would love to see the beauty of the state.
Geographic variety is what makes California exceptional. CA has deserts with dry lakes & sand dunes, mountains with colossal snowfalls & glaciers, coastal mountains & a Mediterranean climate along the southern coast, rain forests along the northern coast, extensive wine growing regions, a central valley with enough farms to make a Nebraskan sigh, 9 National Parks, State Parks that rival National Parks, gold in the rivers, oil squirting out of the ground, and of course all those beaches & even a handful of coastal wetlands. I agree the cities are ridiculous, but S.F. would heaven for an urban explorer, and L.A. would be like the matrix.
there is sooooo much to see and do in CA. Would literally take a good year off to enjiy road tripping throughout the state. maybe even longer
@@xxxYYZxxx well put...
Avenue of The Giants is really in Northern California.
Hello friend how are you doing over there
As some that was born and lived in Ca for 70 years, Fresno is not Northern Ca. Look at the map it is Central Ca.
Fresno is not Nor Cal.... I agree.
As a northern Californian I don't consider anything south of Sacramento Northern California.
Hello friend how are you doing over there
If you slit it in half? It is northern as Appleseed to southern
@@jennifergross3506
It's not even close actually. Fresno is hundreds of miles closer to Californias southern border than it is its northern border. How it actually works is anything north of San Luis Obispo County line is considered "northern California". If you want to know why you'd have to look it up cuz I have no clue. 🤷♂️
Wow oroville made a list! Awesome
This guy is very funny 😄 I enjoyed this video very much! Thank you!
Found it🤣
I would love to see Nevada county California. So much history in one place.
Check the Backroads Interactive map. I've been to a few places in Nevada County! www.abc10.com/bartells-backroads
Truckee is a fantastic town! Jewel of the Sierras IMO.
The California caverns is also a hidden gem
Can u elaborate more where is that
@@luism8612 Gold Country

Cool video. One thing that always drives me crazy is when people think that anything north of LA is considered Northern California. Fresno is NOT Northern California. Inyo County is NOT Northern California. Here's a tip, draw a line from the Golden Gate Bridge to South Lake Tahoe. North of that line is Northern California. Draw another line from Monterey to Mono Lake. Everything between those two lines is a gray area. South of that 2nd line is Southern California.
Hello friend how are you doing over there
It's all subjective isn't it? I mean when you really think about it?
They makes the most sense, even though SF is really half way between the Northern and Southern state borders
@Jeff--Well, there is "Central" Calif. which is Sta Barbara to Sta Cruz. You don't say just East and West Asia, Africa or Europe.
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA IS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Love this
I've been to Mendocino and I love it there can't wait to go back 🖤
Lava beds national monument park at medicine lake…cool spot. So is Mt. Shasta caverns. Burney Falls. McCloud Falls and McCloud River Railroad where they filmed “Stand by Me”. You could make a cool video of these
amazing trip
McCloud River Falls, Mount Shasta
An absolutely stunning rail bike ride would be over the Toledo branch in Oregon from the summet Down to Toledo
Beautiful California...Are Golden State 💛✨❤!
my first apartment was just five blocks away from the underground gardens! never thought i'd see someone outside of fresno to talk about it! and my dad's a HOG!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! #QuarantineBucketList
I actually just looked at the toilet shack the other day, you can see it from the highway heading northbound.
What happened to the old 2008 abc 10 visiting all towns in california? Either it was ABC 10 or NBC i forget which in northern california.
Great place to be at. Around what time does the sunset around where you made this video? Do join us too as we make vlogs of this place, and fun places in Singapore and the region. (p.s.. also on places you should avoid :))
Mount St. Helena, Robert Louis Stevenson Park, and Table Top.
Lake Pillsbury?
I can see table mountain from my kitchen window
Several country music stars were fascinated with railroads and had rail cars with Briggs & Stratton engines. They went out at night and rode the real railroad. A few of them had issues with the law over it.
Some day you might want to make your way up to the real Northern California. Well north of Sacramento.
I am planning a "WAY NORTH" Northern California trip for spring of 2021. Where should I go? I plan to visit Modoc, Siskiyou, Trinity and Del Norte County. This will be a week long trip.
@@johnbartellshhop Eastern Siskiyou Co. outside Tulelake, visit the Lava Beds National Monument where Captain Jack's stronghold is located. Look it up.
Outside Mt. Shasta go to McCloud Falls.
In Dunsmuir, go to Mossbrae Falls.
Southwest of Yreka is the Salmon River area where you will have a beautiful drive and see one of the most remote rivers in the state and some beautiful back country.
There are some awesome one day hikes into some gorgeous Alpine lakes. Others you would need to backpack in and spend a night or more.
The drive over to Del Norte beautiful. The Smith River is so clear and beautiful as well as huge Redwoods. If you go from Yreka to Crescent City, you will want to go up to Grants Pass, Or and over on Hwy. 199. Best route.
There are Siskiyou Co. visitor guides online. Check them out. I will leave Trinity, Modoc and Del Norte counties for folks with more knowledge.
sisqsam man, I hiked all this points. You are absolutely right. Probably the best time I’ve ever had, along the Salmon River path. Do it in the late September. Gorgeous
😂😂😂
I like motorcycle trips going through places like Legget, Mad River, Hayfork, Weaverville, Burnt Ranch, Willow Creek, Happy Camp, Etna, Yreka, Cecilville.
Hey Mr. C.! That Lone Toliet is in your neck of the woods. LOL!
The route to northern California is ready to be explored.
Route 10 does not get you to Northern Ca. It will get you to Central Ca
Crescent City, Weaverville
ca is beautiful
Can you just go stargaze for a while or do you have to book?
Hey daddy didn't go to Dunsmuir and Moss Falls and Burney Falls we missed really good area There
Hello friend how are you doing over there
My spirit loves the sutter buttes nature
Fresno is central California.
Geneva that’s because it isn’t.
This is definitely not Northern California
@Geneva K it's not
.Best video ever shown on utube...............Oscars for u tube yet?
So glad you liked it!!! I actually won an Emmy for this series!
@@johnbartellshhop wow
If you’re going to all of north California, then you’re totally going to have to go to the north. Like Shasta County or modoc. Burney falls is great and I know for a fact that the infamous bridge from the movie, “stand by me,” is near the falls. You have mt shasta, and lake shasta. You are missing out on all the great stuff that the true Northern California has to offer, this is really a special about central California, lets be honest, lol. I’m excited to check out some of them though. If you can’t tell, I’m more familiar with the northern part of the state so I’m going to see the places you just made me aware of! Thanks!
Loca FromCali Don’t forget about castle crags which is west of Redding , Avenue of the Giants, Lava beds park, Crescent city which also includes the surrounding areas like Klamath River and the Smith River.
Eagle lake above Susanville is pretty cool as well
Napa Valley
david kingRAIDERS agreed. They totally missed the best of all of California as far as nature and what California is really known for, it’s amazing variety of scenery. I’m pretty sure they didn’t even get over the yolo bypass because I would have done this list completely different.
@@taracate88 totally agree that video is kind of lame California is the best from top to bottom
I agree, but they definitely tap into northern California. I wouldn't call table mountain central California.
In fact the real California it’s hidden in the north shasta it’s little crowds because all the new era hippies veggie people, there’s a lot of hidden gems in Northern California
I have been to Fort Bragg many times. Though I never rode the narrow gauge railroad, I did stay at the Skunk Motel in Willits, once. Its slogan was, " Stay with the Stinker". 😂😅😜
Fort Bragg skunk train very nice
aight... looks like i didnt miss much. i will go south again... take hwy 1 from SF all the way to san diego
Ike that’s a great drive.
The Northern California coast is beautiful. Unfortunately, not much of it was shown in this video.
Try a trip from SF up highway 1 all the way to Crescent City, through the Redwood parks, then check out Gold Country like Nevada City, Auburn, Coloma, and Placerville. This video missed the best parts of true Northern California!
Hello, my good friend. Have you ever traveled to Isfahan? Isfahan is known as half of the world. You must see Isfahan...
I've paddled the river and taken out at Wards Ferry many times decades ago, bummer to see the way it was treated.
Thanks for sharing your video. The great outdoors is a testament to God's creation and present to us!
I live in Modesto and I am a senior. Looking for nature day to two day trips. Can you help?
Modesto? Born and Raised!
alright Travis Powell, I’m on my way.
Check the tide table son and a trip to the Lone toilet is a far easier trip.
The skunk train was not operating the day that I visited so all I did was walk around on it getting medicated, I didn't know that the name came from the engine exhaust, I was told that it came from smelling skunk buds that were growing with in smelling distance of the track. And that is almost everywhere up there just don't wonder off and you'll be ok.
Twin Lakes Bridgeport looks like the Alps
Heh heh, San Diegans think Fresno is in Northern California. So cute.
Lol fr.
Mt Shasta ?
A bit of info: Glass Beach in Fort Bragg is still full of glass and hazardous if you haven't had a tetanus shot due to the amount of rusty metal. The Sutter Buttes is a state park and fully accessible to anyone who wants to hike rugged terrain. This may include parking outside a locked gate and walking in but this is the place I asked people to take me and other RUclipsrs to a few months ago (heads up, we still need a ride) from a few hours away before our trip got cancelled due to Covid. There's way better places to visit in Northern California than most of the places you listed, other than the Sutter Buttes.
What places would you reccomend?
The pancreas ad did not mention that missing from the EPA reviewed glyphosate test information submitted by Monsanto was missing it's impact on the pancreas. Guess who did Monsanto legal work while at the Rose Law firm in Little Rock, Arkansas.
mammoth LAKE? hitching trail?
All good spots. There’s Cambria
and Hearst Castle. But it’s not North Cal.
Cambria
Central Coast
Wm R Hearst has another big estate in Northern Ca. The family still useit and it is on the McCloud River, called Wintoon
in need of a compass and map, northern Calif is farer north, nice central calif video , thanks
Glass Beach, Fort Bragg, Sutter Buttes, Table Mountain, etc are NOT Central Cali you putz.
I live in Humboldt County Ca. Which is about as Northern California as one could possibly get AND glass beach is only about 45 min from me, also Fort Bragg and the Skunk train. Idk why someone wouldn’t consider these areas Northern California. I’m a native to NorCal and all these areas are about as NorCal as one could possibly get
@11:12 ... That's where Cinderella filmed their music video
I can take my camera on that kind of trail trip.
northen ca is north of sac
Tahoe baby keep her blue
The open road is getting expensive!
Skunk is down, needs rare expensive parts, miss it.
How about San Diego
Picture quality looks like smart phone? Camerama/editor was an intern? Too much exposure.
@ 5.88 trillion miles to the closest star, I'm sure that 1 mile closer makes all the difference!
If you need real backroads, check out Hwy 50 from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe. Take Sly park south or Hwy 49 north and enjoy.
I love! HWY 49! Have you seen the boot fenceruclips.net/video/htGoPdivtBQ/видео.html
bartellj Yeah, and he’s filming from Auburn bridge 🌉. The Navarro family also lives in Cool,Ca.
@@mariyaterzi7364 it's the Foresthill bridge
That is not a back road, most of it is a busy 4 lane hwy
View leaving----
You forgot to visit Alviso
Shout
Out
To

The glass beach. What people don't understand with pebble or cobble beaches is that the pebbles always work to the surface so that's all there is. Montana del Oro Spinner's Cove was a pebble beach twenty years ago, but greedy nitwits have gleaned all the pebbles so it is no more. Might make an interesting video. Find some old footage.
This is a California I never knew existed. All they show on tv is Orange County and Compton, and Beverly Hills
And San Francisco
The Lone Toilet... why?
Chico
Placerville
Bodega Bay
Gridley
Feather Falls
Richvale
Burney Falls...

thx Joshua. I am thinking about Northern Ca. a lot lately. All my life in Los Angeles County area. That would be lol 78 years and counting. Looking for change. Hope to hear from you sometime. thx again: Sincerely, Doug Holliday
Cool things in Central California?
The Adams-Onís Treaty, signed in 1819 between Spain and the young United States, set the northern boundary of the Spanish claims at the 42nd parallel, effectively creating today's northern boundary of northern California.
SO MANY COOL THINGS IN CEN CAL!!!!! Check out my interactive map which shows you several must see destination in Central Calif. www.abc10.com/bartells-backroads
I don't really think of Fresno or Bishop as Northern California.
They aren't.
where do you think the NorCal and SoCal divide is? Funny you made that comment. I am currently working on a story about that topic.
@@johnbartellshhop I used to live in San Francisco & I had a good friend who lived in Palo Alto. I would tease him for living in Southern California. Not sure where the line is, but the cultural dividing line is definitely farther north than the geographic dividing line. Also, it may be changing. San Francisco definitely felt "northern" 30 years ago, but since the explosion of the tech industry it feels less so.
@@johnbartellshhop Fresno. And if on the coast, probably somewhere North of SLO. You can't really divide Cali that way though. It's actually sub-regions. Norcal is really the Bay Area northward. Socal is really Santa Barbara (coast) Bakersfield (valley) southward. And in between the central coast, central valley, and Sierras are all sub-regions. Even the desert is, in some ways, it's own thing seperate from SoCal. And in other ways very much SoCal.
@@johnbartellshhop Ca is divided into 3 sections North (ends at Sac} Central Ca which stars below Sac and ends at Tehachapi and the rest is Southern Ca. North is cowboy country, central is farming and south is movie industry
I always wanted to travel Calf. But not now. to expense, to dangerous.
Warner Mountains
Glass beach was beautiful back in the late 70s. Now nothing special at all.
Fresno is central California
That's misleading. Fresno is NOT in northern California. It's in southern California.
- Mystery Spot, Santa Cruz
- Camera Obscura
- Eagle Falls
Nice places in Central Ca
why your driving thru fires and destruction
7:05 Ant-Man?
I was thinking the exact same thing 🤣
I often wonder who ever decided the boundaries of N. Calf., and S. Calif. because the that are concerned N. Calif. are no where near the north. Take for instance the Bay Area is ALWAYS considered as N. Calif. really, the Bay Area is technically in the middle of the state..... Makes no sense.
It's based on population and major metropolitan areas. Los Angeles and San Diego are deep in the Southern part. SF Bay area and Sacramento are considered Northern even though they are not close to the Oregon border. It's mostly small towns north of San Francisco. It's a big state.
The dividing line is Bakersfield...
Anything north of bakers is norte califas... an vice versa.
@@209Twinz209 says who? Gangland?
All mountains are petrified giant wood stumps all minerals xome from these tree stumps you can confirm these, by watching hangman videos and also biblical trees on you tube
I want to move there; I’m sick of Canada.
Usa
Glass Beach is almost non existent and no way do 1000 people a day visit!!!
Mono Lake? Owens Valley? They aren't even central CA, they are southern CA.
Mono Lake is about on par, latitude-wise, with San Fransisco...
@@washedup_adventurer Wow. Thanks for the correction, you are right!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_California "central" California isn't really an official designation. I guess i'd just think Bakersfield.
Shhhhhhhhh too many people coming here already..
Dude Edit the volume! or just don't scream in the outdoor shots
Thatz not even Northern Cal....thatz tha suburbs. Get into Humboldt county and u start to get into true northern...nice spin
I thought you said northern California not central California.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_California
Lake Tahoe is the best part of northern California
Not Northern Ca.
One of them, as is Lassen NP. The Redwoods are in the far north of the state on the coast, and everybody should see them at least once in their lifetimes. Seeing them and hiking the trails are something else.
Fresno is NOT in Northern California, not even close.
I’ve found that the best place to go when I’m in California is... Nevada.
You may want to change the title of this video. You grow more places in Southern California than you do in Northern California
ABS 10 STOP
Do yourself a favor and skip stockton and modesto
