Northern California Highlights
)
Self-drive Holidays
Discover the vineyards, seaside towns, and giant redwoods of Northern California. This self-drive tour is all about feeling free amongst the national parks and state reserves north of San Francisco. It’s a fabulous trip, featuring vineyards, farmers’ markets, and those little out of the way roadside restaurants that you won’t find in the guidebooks. You can learn about the history and heritage of the region as well as walking through shaded pine forests and stopping by a lake or river for a picnic. There are no set dining times, or limited sightseeing windows. This is travel on your terms. Spending a couple of nights close to Mount Shasta, Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite National Park, gives you plenty of time to really relax and soak up the scenery. Whilst stop overs in San Franscisco and Sacramento conjure up a classic slice of city life, California style. From wind swept Pacific Ocean beaches to old growth redwood forests and groves of giant sequoias, this 14-day road trip will no doubt move you in more ways than one.
