Near Redwood National and State Parks
Crater Lake National Park 229 km
A deep blue lake filling the caldera of Mount Mazama, an old volcano in southern Oregon whose summit collapsed long ago. It is the deepest lake in the United States, and the park around it, set up in 1902, is the only national park in Oregon.
Napa Valley 361 km
A wine valley north of San Francisco, recognised in 1981 as only the second American Viticultural Area in the country. Vineyards cover the valley floor between low hills, with wineries and tasting rooms strung along the road from Napa up to Calistoga.
Muir Woods National Monument 406 km
A valley of old growth coast redwoods on the slopes of Mount Tamalpais, about 19 km north of San Francisco and named after the naturalist John Muir. Trails run beneath trees that form one of the few such stands left in the Bay Area.
Golden Gate Bridge 416 km
A suspension bridge painted International Orange, carrying road, foot and bicycle traffic across the 1.6 km strait between San Francisco and Marin County. When it opened in 1937 it had the longest main span in the world, and its towers often rise out of the fog.
Alcatraz Island 417 km
A small rocky island in San Francisco Bay that has held a lighthouse, a military fort and, from 1934 to 1963, a federal prison thought nearly impossible to escape because of the cold water and strong currents. Ferries now carry visitors out to walk its old cellhouse.
Palace of Fine Arts 419 km
A domed rotunda and curving colonnade beside a lagoon in the Marina District, built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. It is the only structure from that fair still standing on its site, though it was entirely rebuilt between 1964 and 1974.
Pier 39 419 km
A pier on the San Francisco waterfront turned into shops, restaurants, street performers and a two storey carousel, with the Aquarium of the Bay alongside. Its real draw is the California sea lions that haul out in noisy heaps on the floating docks of its marina.
Fisherman's Wharf 419 km
The old fishing port on San Francisco's northern waterfront, where seafood stands, sourdough bakeries and souvenir shops have taken over from most of the fishing boats. Crab still steams at the pavement stalls, and the Aquatic Park historic district sits at its western end.
