Things To Do

Yosemite Valley

Amazing place to hike and see Earth’s natural beauty! It is only an hour and a half drive from Pinecrest, Ca.

Murphys

Great little town to bar hop and wine taste. There is also a cupcake shop that was featured on the Food Channel. It is less than an hour drive from Pinecrest.

Big Trees

See some of the biggest trees in California!! This is one of my favorite places to visit and is only 30 minutes north of Murphys.

Pinecrest Lake

This is where Logan and I will get married! There is also a ton to here, including fishing, hiking, kayaking, paddle boating, and drinking beer at the local bar!

Black Oak Casino Resort

Awesome little casino in the woods! Also amazing, but expensive food at the restaurant there. This is about 30 minutes south of Pinecrest.

Columbia

This is a neat little town every fourth grader goes on a field trip to. This town will bring you back to the gold rush era and you can even mine your own gold! There is a small theater, called the Fallon House, that puts on amazing productions and right next door is an awesome ice cream shop.

Moaning Cavern Adventure Park

If your are looking for adventure you can propel down a cave! Or just walk down because propelling down the cave is way expensive. This cave is about ten minutes from Columbia and on your way to Murphys and Big Trees.

Sonora

Go hang with the townies in downtown Sonora! Awesome little downtown area to go to bars and eat good food. Sonora is also the closest town with a Walmart and anything else you may have forgotten to pack. It is off Hwy 120/108 on your way up to Pinecrest.

Tulloch Reservoir

If you are looking to wakeboard or ski this is place to do it. Although the water may be a little cold in May.

Fisherman's Wharf

Must see if you have never been to SF. It is the typical tourist spot in SF and is always crowded.

Alcatraz Cruises

If you want to visit Alcatraz make sure to schedule your tour at least 2 months in advance.

Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point

Classic tourist destination spot, but amazing photo opportunities.

Presidio

AT&T Park

Although pricey, best ballpark in America.

San Francisco Botanical Garden

Amazing views in the city and best place to go have a picnic.

Angel Island

Napa

🥂

Jack London Square

Farmer’s market is amazing.

Old Sacramento

Only place to go visit if you are flying into Sacramento. Amazing candy shops and restaurants.

Half Moon Bay

Monterey

Santa Cruz

If you go here, the beach board walk is a must.

Big Basin Redwoods State Park

Livermore Outlets Drive

So many stores.

Oakdale

Welcome to the cowboy capital of the world! This is where Morgan grew up as a kid and went to the local high school. There isn’t much to do here but pass on by up to Pinecrest and Yosemite.
