And when you finally get bored with hiking only in Southern California, there’s a whole lot more California to explore – up state!

NORCAL – Well beyond San Francisco and Yosemite, there are meadows to be found. Seclusion and tranquility in nature, without the crowds. Too many dirt roads to drive and dozens of rivers to see. Waterfalls abound, with wildflowers and amazing scenery all around. Small towns to discover!

Fly fishing rivers, kayaking lakes, wineries, organic farms, geysers, volcanoes, caves, old bridges and so much more to find in NorCal.

DanaMite loves to cover the real nooks and crannies of California, just for you – right here on Total Escape.
