Free parking abounds on the north side of the bridge…our best views were from the northwest, high up on the ridge looking down on the partially cloud-covered bridge. TIP: Going north across the Golden Gate Bridge, there are no fees.
We flew out of Tucson and into San Jose, CA at 10am and drove to (and across) the Golden Gate bridge. Most days we ate a hotel breakfast, lunch in the car (bought a cooler when we got to Cali), and grabbed dinner in a local hotspot, depending on the town we were in.ĭay 1: Tucson International Airport -> San Jose International Airport-> Golden Gate Bridge -> Avenue of the Giants (Humboldt’s Redwood State Forest) -> Arcata, California (6 hrs drive time, 335 miles) Night 1: Hampton Inn & Suites- Arcata, CA (3 of 5 on the MVPorch Scale)…Meals: Breakfast in the Airport, Lunch in the car, Dinner snacks in our hotel room. Six of the eight days on this journey, the temperature never broke higher than 67 degrees…considering it was 108 in Tucson the day before we left, it was an incredibly welcome change of pace! We didn’t have rain, but daily we watched the fog and cloud cover roll in and out on the Pacific. It would be an huge understatement to say this vacation was the most incredible vacation we’ve done as a family! The sights, sounds, smells, and climate were simply amazing…left us awestruck and speechless so often. Each day’s map is separate from the others…just click the Day Number and you can follow our route! Sadly, we didn’t get to go to many of the places that were suggested by so many of you! Next time, be assured we are going to ask for recommendations before we go, but so many of the areas we visited could have literally been a week-long or weekend vacation on its own!
Trip Numbers: July 24, 3:30am -> August 1, 1:30am (7 days, 21 hrs, 30 minutes door to door), 1,878 miles flown (TUS->LAS->SJC and PDX->LAS->TUS), 1399 miles driven, 28 hours and 15 minutes on the road, 49 hours and 58 minutes rental car running. We loved this trip so much that I thought I would map out our exact route, including the main attraction stops that we made. He’s going to take you along the whole mapped out trip, including stays and eateries. My husband planned out this vacation for our family, so I asked him to blog about it.
Hi friends! Many of you have asked about our recent family trip to the northwest coast.
