CALIFORNIA: California Coastal Adventure New Trip! The coastline of northern California near San Francisco is spectacular, with endless curving beaches and wild rocky shores, meadows filled with wildflowers, and expansive grassy hillsides. Bobcat, fox, and elk inhabit the coast's wrinkled terrain, while harbor seals, sea otters, and gray whales cruise its ragged shoreline. Heading inland, you'll find the celebrated wine country of the Napa Valley, renowned for its signature Cabernets and other fine varietals. This is MTS's own local playground, and we decided it was high time we introduced you to our favorite haunts! You'll hike the best trails of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Muir Woods National Monument, and Point Reyes National Seashore; learn the gentle art of sea kayaking at Tomales Bay; take a leisurely vineyard-to-vineyard spin on the country lanes of the Napa Valley (sampling some wonderful wines as you go); and cap it all off with a breathtaking catamaran sail on San Francisco Bay, with tremendous views of the city skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge, the iconic gateway to the golden land we call home.
