Paleto Forest is a large coniferous forest in northern Blaine County, California. The forest is located to the south of Paleto Bay and northwest of Mount Chiliad, and it is mostly a rural area, along with a few buildings scattered around. Much of the forest was cut down and turned into lumber at a nearby sawmill, and dirt roads and a railroad were laid down to make it easier for traffic to flow through the forest. Soon, California State Route 1 tore through a portion of the forest, linking Paleto Bay with Los Angeles to the south.
