My wife and I visited this area several years ago in our TM. This whole part of the coast is fantastic - explore as much as you can.

We spent a couple days in Trinidad, including a "fabulous" quilt shop. A bit north of there, my wife got up real early, climbed into a boat with a guide, went out into the Klamath River, and brought home a huge salmon. Warning - salmon smells really bad when your refrigerator fails.

In Crescent City, we went out to Battery Point Lighthouse - accessible only at low tide. Guess what? We found that an ancestor of mine had been the lightkeeper for many years, starting in 1875. Knowing that, the staff insisted on giving us a "full tour" of the light station, and of course by the time it was done, we had missed the tide and couldn't walk back to the mainland. So we drank coffee, listened to some more stories - there are a lot of interesting ones - and they gave us a ride back in a small boat.

This whole area is fascinating. You will love it!
