You'll find all that in our itinerary and more! While there are a few advanced hikes listed in the itinerary, we offer alternate options as well. We've also packed in the viewpoints we visited, and how to structure your day to maximize your trip and do everything you want to do.

I don't like to hike. Will I still find value in this itinerary?


A lot! There are nine national parks in the state of California. We provide an itinerary that replicates our experience within the parks including hikes,
overlooks, and experiences we did and can vouch for that they’re worth it.

What is there to do in California's National Parks?


This itinerary breaks down everything in one PDF guide. We have several episodes onCalifornia's National Parks. The itinerary adds even more value by planning every detail of a 13-day trip so all you have to do is truly book it, show up and enjoy the trip. We learn a lot on our trips about things that were worth it, things we wish we did, and the optimal route to take if we could do it over. You benefit from those learnings with this itinerary! Our podcast episodes tell you what we did, but not to the level of detail you'll find within our itinerary.
