Vacation Overview

This year our vacation will be limited to just one state, California. While smaller in scope than past trips we still have many places to visit and only one week to get it done. Challenge accepted!

Like past trips the primary objective is to visit and hike the national parks with side trips to national monuments and state parks. We’ll revisit Yosemite National Park and are fortunate to include the newest addition to the national park family, Pinnacles National Park which was upgraded to full national park status on January 10, 2013, thank you President Obama.

Highlights include: Hiking the High Peaks Trail in Pinnacles National Park, sunrise at the Tufa Towers of Mono Lake, a loop hike at Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park, driving the Pacific Coast Highway, and two days to explore the great city of San Francisco.
