“The giant redwoods were an awesome sight to behold. The Rogue River Jet Boat Tour should be on everyone’s bucket list! Riding through the Oregon Dunes on a dune buggy was spectacular.”  Clark & Marna, Eagan 

 

Day 1 – Home to San Francisco 

Fly to San Francisco, one of the most exciting and beautiful cities in America! Upon arrival in San Francisco, we will make our way to Fisherman’s Wharf to board a Red and White Fleet boat for a narrated San Francisco Bay cruise. We’ll enjoy sights of Alcatraz Island along with the legendary Golden Gate Bridge. The evening is at your leisure to enjoy more of the sights and sounds of San Francisco and Fisherman’s Wharf.

Day 2 – San Francisco to Sonoma 

Our luxury motorcoach awaits this morning for an exciting city tour of San Francisco. A stop at the Golden Gate Bridge begins our day and then we’ll travel through the city, hearing stories of fires, earthquakes and flower power, all that helped shaped this unique city. After our city tour we will cross the Golden Gate Bridge and arrive at Sausalito, a pristine waterfront community located across the Bay, where you can enjoy lunch on your own. We’ll continue into the heart of Sonoma Wine Country with a visit to a charming winery. This evening, join the group for a wonderful dinner as we get to know our fellow travelers.

Day 3 – Sonoma to Eureka 

After breakfast we travel north with anticipation of the giants. We’ll drive the Avenue of the Giants and stop at the interpretive center in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, where we’ll be among giants that are taller and older than any other living thing known to man! We’ll stay in Eureka, the heart of lumber country, and be special guests at one of the last surviving lumber camp cookhouses in the West.

Day 4 – Eureka to Gold Beach

Continue our scenic drive up the rugged coastline and on into Oregon. We have planned a soft adventure for the afternoon—the original Rogue River Jet Boat Tour. The Rogue River Canyon abounds in a variety of wildlife, including osprey, deer, river otters, bald eagles, and more.

We’ll again experience some of the most scenic coastal views to be found anywhere! Stop at Yaquina Head Lighthouse, located at the mouth of the Yaquina River.

We’ll continue north as we drive sections of Three Capes Loop. After a visit at the Tillamook Cheese Factory, we will have some free time for lunch in Cannon Beach before making our way to Portland, a lovely city set on the banks of the beautiful Columbia River.

Lunch will be at Timberline Lodge, before we drive along the picturesque Columbia River Gorge offering spectacular scenery, including the impressive Multnomah Falls.
