There's so many options to choose from when it comes to California in terms of landscapes and varying climates/seasons!
Which spot would you head to first?
SHORT DRIVE (less than 2hrs)
If you live in San Francisco or the Bay Areaโคต๏ธ
I've listed shorter weekend trips like Napa Valley, Santa Cruz, Calistoga, Mt. Tam
MODERATE DRIVES (3-4hrs)
Trips that are moderate drives out (around 3hrs+), you should head to Yosemite National Park, Cambria, Pismo, Big Sur, Shasta County
LONG DRIVES (4+ hrs)
But if you're looking for something further out, maybe a 2-3 day weekend then,
You should head to Lake Tahoe, Redwood National Park, Bishop, Mammoth Lakes

โ We followed this itinerary after work on a Friday, and headed back home on Sunday evening- the only way to escape Monday blues!
If you have Monday and Tuesday off, you should definitely add exploring๐Big Sur to your itinerary!
This stretch of coastline is breathtakingly beautiful ๐ฅน
โก๏ธ We spent hours exploring Carmel-by-the-Sea, with all the fairytale cottage houses and the secret passagewaysโจ
โก๏ธ Tide-pooling was such a fun experience, but even if it's not the right time to do this activity when you visit, the location mentioned in the post gives you expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, with multiple cliffs and sea stacks ๐
โก๏ธ Don't get me started on๐Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, the color of the water, the seals, the Cypress Trees and the sea stacks are SO AMAZING!

Thereโs one shot on here thatโs not in California, can you guess which one?

This MASSIVE secret cave is behind a Shell gas station in northeast Arizona!
Iโm slowly combing through my SD card and it holds SO much from my recent trip to Arizona in December 2023!
TIPS
๐คฉ this is a spot that not many people know about, it has no specific name and is not on Google maps
โก๏ธ you do not need a 4WD or AWD, just a 2WD, once youโve finished getting gasโฝ๏ธ, park and walk to this cave
๐ฅพ no real hike required, walk a few feet to the enclave and take in the views
๐ซฃ donโt forget to turn around once you enter the cave, the best view of the cave is when youโre inside, facing out!
โ๏ธ best time to visit is honestly any time, during the day works perfectly as well- this was shot around 12.40pm
PS: if you can time it right, astrophotography with it as a foreground would be amazing!

A few things you probably didnโt know about me:
โจ I won my 6th grade elocution by screeching, howling and whining like the Three Witches from MacBeth ๐
โก๏ธI skipped every swim class as a kid after my *so called* coach threw me in the deep end of the pool- I still do not know how to swim.
๐Every single dog that weโve ever had as a family has always, always been named Tina. So if you ever pulled up pictures from 10-20 years before I was born- all the dogs were called Tina. Johnny says Tina is basically The Phantom lol
โญ๏ธMy cousins and I were hopped up on Famous Five and decided to form a group called The Terrific Three- we even had our own language that we practiced daily.
๐ฅI once drank kerosene with my cousin, we thought it was orange soda (Fanta)- we had our stomachs cleaned that day.
โ๏ธI once stole a wig off a mannequin as a dare, had the shop owner chase after me as I hopped onto a moving bus to escape him- i was quite a mischievous kid:/
๐I thought Harriet the Spy was a pretty cool movie- so I followed my sister around, spying on her and taking notes.
๐ค๏ธI love sunrises- when on a trip, I find it hard to fall asleep, because the anticipation of the view keeps me up.
๐Imposter syndrome runs deep within my soul.
๐I have lost every single hair tie Iโve ever owned. Who hasnโt though?
Tell me something about yourself in the comments!
Iโd love to get you know you better๐
