Top 10 Places in Northern California + NorCal Road Trip Itinerary (2023)

Great informative video with amazing filming, thanks 🙌🙌

Tahoe is very beautiful, but very coldwater! Cudos to you for giving it a try.

We rode bicycles the length of the Ave of the Giants a couple of years ago. Very nice, but the locals drive pretty fast on the 2 lane road!
Further North Prarie Creek Redwood Park closes the main park road to traffic periodically. Very popular with cyclists on these days. Their websites publishes the schedule.

What about the Eastern Sierra & Hwy. 395?

God, thank you for healing the land. I pray that there is peace in Jerusalem and for all people to come into the house of the Lord so that they can be glad and rejoice in it always. God, I am asking you for a miracle for so many that I know and you loved them first so that they can learn to love. We pray in Jesus mighty name that we may ask one thing, that we may dwell in the house of the Lord forever and your praise shall continually be upon our lips. Thank you for eternal salvation in Jesus mighty name. Amen 🙏 💫💫💫🌟💫💫💫

Hi. Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Thank you. 🤍🌈🤍God bless you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour??? I do. 💫💫💫🌟💫💫💫

You may as well not even talk about it unless you're going to give directions how to get

3:26 this looks more like Stinson beach 🤔

Love living in NoCal. Have visited all of the places mentioned. This is why we live here!

What time of year is best to go to these places??

I also live in Southern California and I am proud to say I have been to every spot on your list, after my dad retired he moved to Shingletown Ca which is on highway 44 not far from Lassen so I’ve been there several times over the years. Unfortunately my father passed about twenty years ago but my brother lives on the property now.

Monterey bay??

Just a few miles north of where the Avenue of the Giants ends you can see the tallest Redwood called Hyperion. It is also the tallest tree on Planet Earth!

1:08 you're goddamn right.

Add Calaveras Big Tree’s National Park next visit.

You really need to photograph Shasta with snow on it!!!!

actually Lassen last blew was in 1900s

Love your video. Coming from a local, you really showed the beauty of all these spots.

Great video!

Here in NorCal, we are ok just stay away if looking for Hollywood. It's more Midwest than surf.

Three weeks from now we are headed to Ft Bragg for our annual summer trip! So glad you included it! We've been to nine of your ten. Glad we're going the right places!

Being a northern Californian, born and raised, our family used to go camping at Point Reyes every summer until I had a stroke in 2015, unfortunately we no longer go camping due to my issues with mobility, I actually grew up in a very small town more of a village called Kelseyville in Lake County, north of Napa and Calistoga over 2 mountains in order to reach it the lake is called Clear Lake it’s the largest natural lake solely in California, Tahoe is 1 /2 in California and 1/2 in Nevada Clear Lake hosts the largest most famous bass fishing tournament every year people come from all over the world to participate in this bass tournament every year I worked at Konocti Harbor Inn & resort for many many years and we had people from Germany come to stay and participate in the tournament 😊❤❤

great video! i really enjoyed the beautiful shots of Northern California. however, i think some spots on the list are a bit overrated. like, does everyone really need to go to Muir Woods? there are so many hidden gems that deserve more attention, don’t you think?

best stops and views

best place in norcal is the Oregon border, because then you arent in California at all anymore.

Could you not have given a description of their locations, and shown them on a map?

Thanks for sharing this with us! This is so much better then even reading a book on it! It's doubtful I'll ever get the chance to return, I've 🏕 camped many times in these places in the 25 years l lived in Ventura Ca.

Why u running all the time dude?

Glad to see you included places in Lassen Volcanic Nat'l Park. That's one of the Parks that really doesn't get enough love, even though it is every bit as impressive as Yosemite (and far less crowded!). Some of my favorites that weren't covered in this video are Calaveras Big Trees State Park (the most northerly place to see the Giant Sequoias), Pinnacles Nat'l Park (another underloved Nat'l Park with the iconic California condors and impressive talus caves), North Table Mountain (the best place in Nor Cal for Spring wildflowers), and the Mono Lake area on the eastern side of the Sierras (Mono lake tufa formations, the Crowley Lake columns, Hot Creek geological area, Devil's Postpile, etc.).

I won't visit the US again because of your autocratic "president". Sorry, but these videos are not interesting for me anymore. Unsubscribed. 😢

Awesome list! Been to a few of these (wasn't counting) - Redwoods, Lassen, Tahoe - California has so many incredible places!

Had the opportunity to drive Avenue of the Giants every day while I delivered newspapers. to southern Humbolt county every day.

Beautifully narrated and edited! I’ve done all of these in your top 10! Just subscribed, keep it up from a NorCal adventurer.

I too would go to war to protect these trees!🌲

Great video. I live in California and I've seen other parts of the world more than I've explored my own state. I will definitely be sure to check these gems out.

Hello from Albion

I’ve listened to this song at least once a day, every day, for the last 11 years. ❤ He has so many beautiful mellow songs, but this one is just magic to me.

Wow so beautiful 👍

Glass Beach is definitely one of my favorite places to go when I am in Fort Brag❤❤

Oh Dang dude, I've lived in the East Bay area and now the Sacramento area my entire life Have yet to be in half of all these places which is crazy. I just came across your channel good video I'm eager to see what else you have in your content list.

Thank you
