Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting Big Sur, Sequoia National Park, or San Francisco. If you have less time, visit either LA or San Diego area for a weeklong adventure. It's important to check opening and closing times for each location before adding them to your itinerary. Additionally, consider traveling during the off-season for lower costs and fewer crowds. Don't forget to bring comfortable shoes and lots of sunscreen!
