The Youngbloods moved from New York to Northern California in 1967 and Young eventually settled in Marin County, where he lived until 1995, when his home in Point Reyes burned in a fire that tore through the region. Young penned the popular song “Ridgetop” about his beloved home.

In 2023, the Young documentary “High on a Ridgetop,” which was filmed in the early 1970s in the Bay Area, was screened at the Grammy Museum.
