What are some good vacation spots that you can drive to in California?
I live in Yucaipa,and I was wondering-what are some good vacation spots that you drive to in California besides san deigo? And also, is there enough stuff to do there for a week? thanks! all answers will be greatly appreciated!
California’s Central Coast makes a great vacation. You can enjoy wine tasting at the many wonderful wineries in the area. More details: http://www.cheers2wine.com/central-coast-wine-tasting.html
Other things to do include the normal beach activities. The beaches in Central California are normally not as crowded. At Pismo, you can drive your car right onto the beach and camp. You can also rent ATVs and drive the Pismo Dunes. It’s a blast. You can tour Hearst Castle, explore Solvang, and ride the roller coaster at Santa Cruz. There’s a great acquarium in Monterey and wonderful hiking throughout this area.
San Francisco and Los Angeles
I would highly recommend Yosemite National Park. The scenery is beautiful and the temperature is pleasant. If you prefer a beach-type locale, head for Monterrey. North of San Francisco, you’ll find the Giant Redwoods. Those are fabulous.
Of course, I’d highly recommend almost any natural scenery over the man-made variety, but the San Francisco area can give you a good mix of both. It’s fairly cool there, so bring a light jacket! Yes, I do know how far from Yucaipa it is — in more ways than one, truthfully — and can tell you it’s well worth the drive.
well do a mini road trip,,must stay out of town overnite in new places,, you have a week, it will do,, must have a few $$,not too limited budget,, drive up the coast start at hwy 1-head north, stop and sight see thru santa barbara, solvang,big sur,monterey/carmel…
and if you are really fast hit San Francisco

Sequoia National Park
Sacramento/Gold Country
Joshua Tree Nat’l Park (it may have a different name)
Wine Country/Sonoma County (1 hr north of San Francisco)
Santa Barbara/Goleta
Palm Springs
Eureka
Redding
San Jose/Silicon Valley
Lake Tahoe (California side; the other part’s in Nevada)
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Since I live in California, I would you say there’d be enough stuff to do in a week. From my point of view, maybe there’d be enough stuff for more than a week!
