Southern connections
Mendocino Transit Route 65
Route 65 links Fort Bragg, Willits, Ukiah, and Santa Rosa; it does not itself continue to Leggett. Use operator connection information rather than assuming a same-day through trip.

Planning a transit visit
Many trailheads, beaches, and scenic side roads are not served at their entrance. A route passing through a town does not establish a safe walk from the stop. No taxi or ride-hail availability is claimed here.
