HELENE’S TRIP TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

14 NIGHTS/7 STOPS 

Mountains, volcanoes and the Pacific Coast!

Helene created a beautiful 15-day family road trip with 7 stops for her husband, their twin boys Edouard and Cedric, and their daughter Julie. Grandparents, Jacques and Françoise, also joined the trip. The purpose of this trip was to discover natural parks and the wild coast of California while going a little of the beaten path. They wanted to experience the natural beauty of the mountains and beaches and hike in the magnificent surroundings without the crowd. They ended with a city trip in San Francisco and Carmel. Location and comfort were key when they selected the lodging for this family road trip, where they stayed an average of two nights per location. In 15 days, they drove a total of 2,225 km and spent 28 hours on the roads. They travelled in the early summer: June-July.Their budget for the whole trip was around $ 2350 per person for 14 nights (excluded food and activities).
