Spend some time exploring where we fell in love! Some notable sights are the quad with memorial church in the center, climbing to the top of Hoover tower, checking out Avery Aquatic Center, hiking 'the dish', and grabbing lunch at Tressidor.
15 minutes from the Sequoia Retreat Center. You can take an old steam train through the redwoods, or a diesel locomotive straight to the beach & boardwalk in Santa Cruz. Great for kids.
