Occidental is nestled in western Sonoma County. Visitors can be a part of High-quality arts and cultural events held at the Occidental Center for the Arts. Occidental draws a number of cycling enthusiasts as it forms the initial point for a host of aesthetically appealing yet testing courses between the redwoods and the coast. The magnificent Coleman Valley Road crosses over the ridgeline and goes down to Highway 1 along the coast. Sonoma Canopy Tour’s zip line experience is a must for thrill seekers and nature lovers.
