***Overview content below***
Take full advantage of this long Thanksgiving holiday weekend by visiting the best that Northern California has to offer! Start the trip by seeing natural beauty of Yosemite National Park, one of America’s most popular national parks. See the towering granite cliffs formed by glaciers and hike through the evergreen trees of Yosemite Valley.
The following day, spend the morning in Yosemite Valley and take a hike to either Vernal Falls or Mirror Lake, or visit the Ansel Adams museum to see how the famous photographer captured beautiful Yosemite. Then depart for San Francisco and spend the evening in the Union Square shopping district, where you can get started on your holiday shopping at a multitude of department stores, high-end leisure lines and boutiques.
Your third day will begin with a complete tour of San Francisco, from the steep hills and winding streets to the brilliantly red Golden Gate Bridge. You will see diverse neighborhoods like Chinatown and the Haight, where the hippie movement started, climb steep hills for views of the bay, and even ride the famous cable car for a picture-perfect San Francisco experience. Have lunch at San Francisco’s famous Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39, home to many shops, seafood restaurants and even some resident sea lions!
On your last day, you’ll head down south and stop in Santa Barbara, a relaxed California beach town where you can play beach volleyball, relax on the beach or shop in State Street. You’ll return to LA that evening having had a Thanksgiving weekend packed with experiences. From hiking through nature, to exploring a beautiful city, to relaxing on the beach, your Thanksgiving weekend will have been exciting and memorable.
