Planning a trip in May for my first time to Northern California. I would love to see Yosemite, Big Sur, San Francisco, and the redwoods. Can you please recommend which airport would be best to fly into and a rough itinerary on how many days I would need at each place and the best way to accomplish this? Thank you in advance!

I saw this flying object last night driving northbound on 101 in NorCal. 11/29/24 17:20-17:35 near Healdsburg CA.
There were hella people pulled over looking at it it was probably 1-200 feet in the air but it was the size of a bus. I should have pulled over and taken pictures of it, but at first I thought it was a drone. It was just chilling and hovering looking over the valley. I keep going over the silhouette of the chassis in my head and it just didn't make sense that it was a drone. So weird.
It was a huge bright light between a red and a green light on either side. I was CLOSE to this thing, the bright light at the center looked like a ball of plasma and I couldn't hear anything or see any air disturbance off the edge of the highway to indicate downward air pressure from a conventional turboshaft engine. The silhouette of the craft looked like it was the fuselage of a plane, but instead of a radar cone at the tip was that big bright ball of plasma, it had a red light on the left wing and a green light on the right wing.
A lot of people were off the road pulled over and looking at it from various locations. Maybe there is a video of it somewhere.
You probably think I'm a crackpot, but I'm asking because there are posts in the UFO subreddits that are showing lights that looked exactly like this in Arizona last night, but it looked like the green light was tilted above the red light.
Does anyone have a picture of video of the Healdsburg light last night?
What is the best beach between Monterey and Half Moon Bay?

Hi, I’m planning a 4ish week roadtrip for end of April/May 2025 starting in Texas and heading west. Thoughts are to stop at Palo Duro Canyon for a few days, go to Colorado Spring, Salt Lake City, go somewhere in Northern California, and then head back to Texas.
I’m an amateur rock climber and cyclist (taking both my road & mtn bike), anyone have any suggestions for any of these places??
Planning is still in its infancy. But trying not to be too touristy, but still getting a good vibe of all the nature and beauty of these places. Thanks.
Hello North Californians, I would be visiting SF next week with my wife who is visiting for the fist time. We want to see the Redwoods. Personally, I have seen Muir Woods and since I have more time, I want to explore something else.
While doing a Google search, I found that Redwood trees are located in the following:
I also found that some state park a national park together forms the Redwood National and State Parks and it is the furthest from SF.
So I want to ask you guys on suggest on which of these (or others) is the best place to see Redwoods?
Thanks in advance!!!

Big OG kush enthusiast here. Near Sacramento or the bay. I love OGs, favorite strain. I’ve had some godly Skywalkers OGs and Tahoes OGs in the past. I need to find that here in NorCal. Prefer a dispensary.
