Please help... any suggestions.(California)?

Question

I live in California in the orange county area and i want to set up a vacation with my husband not so far but willing to travel 5 hours in car at most, just really want to get a distraction for the reason that we just lost our little angel to a miscarriage. Is there anywhere you suggest we go.

Answer 1

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park

There are many trails that connect the Sequoia groves.

Besides the Giant Sequoias, there is a rare marble cave in the park (most caverns are limestone). Crystal Cave is accessed by a picturesque trail that leads to the Merced river valley.

Moro Rock is a fantastic view.

Enter the park from the south, CA Route 198. It doesn't allow RV's or trailers so there is less traffic. It's a mountain road that climbs thousands of feet, has great hairpin turns and the views are spectacular.

There is lodging at Three Rivers, CA and it is close to the entrance.

Answer 2

Definitely come up to the Pismo Beach/San Luis Obispo area for your vacation!



You're not away from the city, but also the people! The beaches here are almost empty (especially since the season is over.)
