Cali Trips: Yosemite & Pacific Coast Adventures from San Francisco

California’s diverse landscapes unfold vividly through Cali Trips, a San Francisco-based adventure outfitter specializing in immersive journeys across the PNW’s iconic landmarks and coastal wonders. Centered around Yosemite National Park and the Pacific Coast, their curated trips deliver an insider’s access to some of the state’s crown jewels, ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned outdoor travelers.

Starting with Yosemite National Park, guests encounter the commanding cliffs of Glacier Point, where panoramic views stretch over the sprawling valley floor, carved granite domes, and towering Giant Sequoias—the world’s largest trees whose ancient trunks anchor the forest in both scale and history. The company emphasizes responsible visitation to preserve the fragile ecosystem that dates back centuries, including reminders about Leave No Trace practices.

On the coastal side, Cali Trips crafts route itineraries through Santa Cruz, Monterey, and the celebrated 17 Mile Drive - a scenic coastal drive known for dramatic cliffs, windswept cypress, and occasional seals sunbathing near the shoreline. Further south, Carmel by the Sea and Big Sur reveal rugged coastal mountains cascading into the Pacific, a landscape both breathtaking and raw, where the California Condor occasionally soars overhead.

Closer to the city, trips include iconic San Francisco landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, historic Sausalito, and old-growth redwoods in Muir Woods—each a distinct natural or urban highlight. The diversity of these trips underscores Cali Trips’ commitment to offering a well-rounded, regionally focused outdoor narrative that combines natural history, scenic grandeur, and local culture.

For visitors based in or traveling through Silicon Valley or San Francisco, this outfitter provides an all-in-one gateway to some of California’s premier outdoor sites. Whether hiking ancient forests, driving coastal cliffs, or gazing over powerful seascapes, Cali Trips facilitates memorable, accessible adventures that celebrate the state’s varied terrain with expertise and care.
