Eureka!

Northern California · Summer 2016

Road tripping in California is always a good idea when looking for sightings. We started our tour along the northwest coast where we walked between the “Giants”. We popped into southern Oregon to visit the gorgeous Crater Lake and headed down to explore Yosemite and its surroundings. Through the simmering hot inland we drove back to the misty Big Sur coastline, completing the loop in San Francisco.
