California Landscapes Holiday Highlights:
Distance: 165 miles
Leave San Francisco and travel into northern California. Here you’ll discover miles and miles of spectacular coastline. The landscape is defined by the Pacific Ocean, but instead of boardwalks and bikinis there are dramatic cliffs and pounding waves - the sunbathers are mostly sea lions. There are no strip malls here, just small sleepy towns tucked along the ragged shoreline.Distance: 398 miles
Travel via the Mendocino National Forest, the California State Capital, Sacramento and the historic Gold Rush towns to mighty Yosemite National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Centre lies in the very heart of California and is home to some of the world’s most stunning scenery. Here you’ll enjoy hiking, biking, backpacking, rock climbing, kayaking, horseback riding, fishing, swimming, bird watching, cross-country skiing, touring and photography. Be sure to visit the Ansel Adams Gallery and view the striking photos he took of this jaw dropping National Park.Distance: 170 miles
Your journey next takes you through the scenic Sierra Nevada Mountain range just south of Yosemite National Park to Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks.Distance: 140 miles
Leave the verdant National Parks behind and head for the Pacific Ocean and one of the world’s most scenic drives – Highway 1. Few stretches of road anywhere can compare to the staggering beauty of Highway 1 - The Pacific Coast Highway. Forested mountains slope off the edge of the North American continent into azure water; great, jagged rocks jut out of crashing surf like breaching whales; and hilltops are crowned with picturesque towns, spectacular mountains and old mission churches dating back to colonial days. Be sure to stop at famous Hearst Castle, a lavish palace built by William Randolph Hearst in the early 1900s. Your overnight stay is in San Simeon.
Distance: 96 miles
En route to your final stop along the Pacific Coast Highway to Monterey, you’ll be able to enjoy the storybook ambiance of delightful Carmel by the Sea, the incredibly scenic 17 Mile Drive and the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park.Distance: 120 miles
On your journey back to San Francisco Airport stop at pretty Capitola By The Sea and admire the surfers or stroll along the 100 year old boardwalk at charming Santa Cruz.This is your last day but your adventure doesn't have to end here. Perhaps you may want to extend your stay and travel down to Los Angeles for some relaxtion and sightseeing, or maybe you would like to head to the bright lights of Las Vegas before heading back the UK.
