Ukiah celebrates opening a new segment of the Great Redwood Trail

UKIAH, CA., 4/27/26 — On a sunny Sunday morning, about 30 people gathered on Airport Road in Ukiah to commemorate the completion of the fourth segment of the Great Redwood Trail with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Speakers at the event included State Senator Mike McGuire, Ukiah Mayor Susan Sher and District 2 Mendocino County Board Supervisor Maureen “Mo” Mulheren.

“What we’re celebrating this morning is more than just three miles of trail. It’s an investment in the health, the sustainability and the future of Ukiah,” Sher said. “This trail connects our neighborhoods from one end of town to the other, and it opens the door to even greater connections to our neighboring communities, to Mendocino College, eventually, and to a regional trail system that will stretch from the Bay Area all the way to Humboldt County.”
