Itinerary
Kick off your fall adventure with a scenic drive into the crisp mountain air of Big Bear Lake! Nestled in the San Bernardino National Forest, this cozy alpine town is bursting with golden aspens, fiery maples, and rust-colored oaks. Stroll along lakeside trails or pedal through pine-scented paths for front-row views of the foliage. Feeling festive? Sip fresh cider at a local farm or hop on a boat for a breezy tour across the shimmering lake. It’s the perfect autumn escape, just a couple of hours from LA.
Time to chase color up the Sierra! Bishop Creek Canyon is a jaw-dropping patchwork of gold, crimson, and even blush-pink aspens. Cruise along winding roads to North Lake or South Lake, where the trees practically glow against the rugged mountain backdrop. Whether you’re hiking through the woods or just soaking it all in from the roadside, Bishop’s fall palette is pure magic.
Today’s all about alpine lakes and golden groves. Start in Rock Creek Canyon, where trails wind through glowing aspens and whispering willows. Then head to Mammoth Lakes Basin—home to over a dozen lakes dressed in fall’s finest. Convict Lake and Twin Lakes are especially stunning, with mirror-like reflections of the fiery foliage. Wrap up the day with tea at a lakeside café or ride the Mammoth Mountain Gondola for sweeping views that’ll make your heart skip a beat.
Get ready for one of California’s most iconic fall drives! The June Lake Loop is a 16-mile dreamscape of golden aspens, glassy lakes, and dramatic granite cliffs. Stop for photos, fishing, or a pint at the local brewery. Then swing through Lundy Canyon for a hike among waterfalls and blazing red-orange trees. It’s like walking through a living postcard. By evening, roll into Yosemite—just in time for a cozy night under the stars.
Yosemite in fall? Absolutely breathtaking. Start in Tuolumne Meadows, where highland aspens shimmer in the morning light. Then descend into Yosemite Valley, where bigleaf maples and dogwoods paint the forest in reds and golds. Hike to Glacier Point for panoramic views of Half Dome framed by autumn’s glow. With fewer crowds and cooler temps, Yosemite feels like your own private wonderland this time of year.
Trade granite peaks for city streets as you head to San Francisco! Exploring San Francisco’s leafy neighborhoods and waterfront views. Twin Peaks offers a 360° panorama, and the city’s Victorian houses look even dreamier with autumn leaves fluttering around them. The Golden Gate Bridge glows in the soft light of sunset. Sunrise and sunset cast a golden glow over everything—perfect for photos, picnics, or just soaking it all in.
End your journey with one of the most scenic drives in the world: Highway 1. Wind along the coast where redwoods meet the sea, and fall colors add a poetic touch to the cliffs and coves. Stop at Bixby Creek Bridge for that iconic shot, and swing by San Simeon Beach to greet the elephant seals. By evening, you’ll be back in LA—full of memories, photos, and maybe a few leaves tucked into your journal.
