destination IDEAS: GET OUTSIDE TOGETHER

Read on to see our favorite places and adventures in our favorite family-friendly destinations.

We prioritize outdoor time, as we believe that letting ourselves play outside, be silly, and overcome challenges as a group brings us closer together. And for me, those moments shared together are the whole point.

Our destination guides are organized here by California Region. From North to South, they are:

North Coast: Giant trees and miles of gorgeous empty beaches

Shasta Cascades: Volcanoes, caves, and trout-filled rivers

Wine Country: Bucolic small-town charm meets the country’s best food and wine scene

Bay Area: Iconic landmarks, cable cars, and unforgettable coastal views

Central Coast: Cowboys and hidden gems, from the rustic splendor of Big Sur to Santa Barbara’s American Riviera

Sierra Nevada: Majestic lakes, gushing waterfalls, and wild beauty

The Desert: Fascinating, otherworldly landscapes
