Every city should be so lucky to have a national park in its own back yard. Emerging onto Tennessee Valley’s black-sand beach, you can’t believe you’re just 10 miles from San Francisco. The rugged beauty rivals anything on the Pacific Coast, with pounding surf and spring-green hillsides carpeted in wild mustard, lupines, and California poppies. Gulls squawk and pelicans fly in formation beneath golden afternoon sun as you continue towards your British-themed inn opposite lovely Muir Beach. Tonight your San Francisco walking tour features a home-cooked dinner, followed by darts and pints in the cozy pub downstairs. Tomorrow, an English breakfast and new adventures in the old-growth redwoods up the road. Just when you thought you left your heart in San Francisco, the Golden Gate’s wilder side is starting to work its wiles.
Stay in the heart of iconic San Francisco, taking time to browse Ghirardelli Square, ride a cable car, or people-watch in Chinatown.
Discover the protected coastline of Point Reyes National Seashore, watching for whales and harbor seals as you stroll dramatic bluffs and sandy beaches.
Wander from your charming hotel, patterned after a 16th-century English country estate, to beautiful Muir Beach.
Escape the hustle of the city and enter Muir Woods, where stands of massive, old-growth redwoods evoke an ageless sense of tranquility.
I went on this self guided tour with one of my closest friends. It was our first self guided trip together. What a blast! This trip was beautiful, exciting, and FUN. It is something we will talk about for the rest of our lives.
