Daytrip: Visit Kruse Rhododendron State Reserve
California wildfires are a destructive reminder of nature’s unpredictable power, but for all their devastation, wildfires also regenerate. Vivid pink petals of wild rhododendrons color the forest in the Kruse State Reserve for a few short weeks around Mother’s Day, and the natural event is now in full swing on the Reserve’s 300 acres, 30 miles north of Bodega Bay on Hwy 1.
