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.
