PACIFIC É OCEAN San Francisco•# 1 WEEK San Francisco, Marin County & Wine Country This classic NorCal itinerary explores San Francisco, then heads north up the rugged coast, and inland to Wine Country. San Francisco begs exploration – its hills, cable cars, glorious bay and dynamic culture are unique in the world. Wander hidden alley- ways in Chinatown, see Beat-poet hangouts in North Beach and ascend Telegraph Hill beneath flocks of wild parrots. Head to Golden Gate Park for gorgeous gardens and thrilling museums, then get off the beaten path in the Mission District to find colorful murals and great cheap eats. Cross the Golden Gate Bridge to the Marin Headlands and hike cliffs rising straight from the Pacific. Or wander among redwoods – the world’s tallest trees – at cathedral-like Muir Woods National Monument. For a full-day trip, go whale-watching on the rugged coast of Point Reyes National Seashore. Stay the night. Explore Sonoma Coast State Beach, near Bodega Bay, then cut inland to tiny Occi- dental and Wine Country to spend another night. Recharge in thermal springs and mud baths in Calistoga before sampling famous California vintages in the surrounding Napa Valley. Head to Napa and return to San Francisco via Sonoma to explore historic sights between visits to wine-tasting rooms, and picnic on the state’s largest town square. 31 OREGON IDAHO Redwood National ÷# & State Parks Arcata •# Ferndale •# Humboldt Redwoods ÷#State Park •#Avenue of the Giants PLAN YOUR TRIP É •# Lost Coast AH T Mendocino •# NEVADA U Gualala •# Sonoma Coast State Beach Ù# Point Reyes National Seashore ÷# San Francisco•# IT É •# I Santa Cruz NERAR Monterey •# PACIFIC OCEAN •# Big Sur I É ES •# Hearst Castle National A Historic Monument •#San Luis Obispo ON IZ É CALIFORNIA AR 10 DAYS Up the Coast The serpentine stretch of Hwy 1 (and Hwy 101) between San Luis Obispo and the Or- egon border is among Northern California’s most epic road trips, connecting cute beach towns, rugged coastline and majestic redwood forests.
