1.Yosemite
One of the country’s most popular national parks can be found about 165 miles east of San Francisco. Yosemite offers every adventure activity you can possibly think of, from low-impact activities like fishing and bird-watching to daredevil pursuits, such as rock climbing and rafting. Whatever you choose to do, don’t leave without exploring can’t-miss sites like Glacier Point, Half Dome and Vernal Fall. Stick around until nighttime to gaze at the clear, starry sky.
2.San Francisco
San Francisco brims with life everywhere you go. Whether you’re zipping around on a cable car, exploring one of the city’s many culturally eclectic neighborhoods, admiring towering redwoods near the iconic Golden Gate Bridge or diving fork first into its world-renowned food scene (you’ll find more than 30 Michelin-starred restaurants here), San Francisco’s energy is always downright electric. After a busy day of exploring, head to the beautiful and tranquil Golden Gate Park to relax.
