I'll be visiting my daughter in SF in early June. She'll take off a Friday and my daughter in LA will fly up for a 3-day trip to visit some of the natural beauty close to SF. The original plan was Yosemite, but we found out that Yosemite needs to planned months in advance - no lodging is available inside the park and the permits required for other visitors are all taken. We'll plan soon for next May/June 2022.
Plan B is to drive south to Monterey early Friday and lodge a couple of nights there, returning to SF Sunday and possibly squeezing in a trip to Muir Woods. In the costal highway thread, there is a recommendation for a quaint town, Pescadero for food and a costal state park to view wildlife (Año Nuevo State Reserve). Things are opening up slowly in California, compared to most of the country, and it's unclear on some of the web-sites what's open and what's closed. For example, many outdoor tours are closed, but self-guided may or may not be open. What does this mean?: (Permits to view seals issued 8:30 to 3:30 --( Seal Viewing temporarily closed ).
Any advice or recommendations are appreciated.
