If your Fort Bragg trip involves flying into San Francisco, Oakland, or Santa Rosa, you'll want to rent a car and take U.S. Route 101 north until Willits, at which point you'll head west on Hwy 20 for the final leg of your journey. Alternatively, you can take Hwy 1 all the way up the coast, but travel times will vary due to ongoing construction. Up-to-date traffic conditions can be found at the California Department of Transportation.
It’s not an easy journey, but the payoff is so worth it. The last leg of your trip will be by car, but there are many paths to getting here, depending on where you’re coming from!

These are all great options that will get you close to Fort Bragg, but you’ll need to rent a car (or make other ride arrangements) for the final stretch of your journey.
From Sacramento, San Francisco and Oakland the trip is 3–4 hours. From Santa Rosa, plan on spending about 2–2.5 hours on the road.
Wherever you’re coming from, it’s a beautiful drive!
