Steal my itinerary below: 👇 (Save and Share and Follow Preethi Chandrasekhar | Adventure Travel for more California & US adventures trying to get hubby off the couch to be more in nature)! 🙏🙏
📍Burney Falls is in McArthur Burney Falls State Park. It's 4 hours from SF, 8 hours from LA and 10 hours from SD. Day use reservations are now REQUIRED. 👉parks.ca.gov. NOTE: McCloud and Burney falls are in the same direction so it would make sense to do both in the same day. Pack a lunch to go.
🌸DAY 1:
1. Drive to Redding from SF. Plan for 3.5 hours of a drive. Lunch at Mosaic. Walk the Sundial bridge. It functions as a massive working sundial!
2. Drive an hour to Dunsmuir and walk BEHIND the Hedge Creek Falls. This is just a short hike down to the falls.
3. Check in at Basecamp Lodge. Drive 10 mins to Lake Siskiyou for sunset vibes. Dinner in downtown! We chose Hari Om cause we were craving desi food. It gets crowded but we didn't have to wait long.
🌸Day 2：
1. Grab breakfast at Seven Suns. Drive an hour to McCloud Falls. Plan for a 4 mi hike and stops to enjoy the 3 falls.
2. Then head down to Dunsmuir for lunch at Cornerstone.
3. Reserve online tix for the Shasta Cavern tours (2 hours)
4. Drive back up to downtown, grab food or take it to go for a picnic at Lake Siskiyou.
🌸Last DAY:
1. Grab coffee and brekkie at Theory
2. Fill up water at the fountain! It's pure and fresh.
3. Drive 1 hour to Burney Falls to see why it's nicknamed 8th wonder of the world.
4. Head home and stop at Mosaic for lunch again
🌸THE END! Follow along for the next road trip!

👉Trip Dates: October 9-18, 2026. Comment "Morocco" and I'll send you the details!
✨There was a time in my life when I kept waiting. Waiting for the right time. Waiting for more confidence. Waiting for someone to travel with. What I’ve learned is that most of the best things in my life happened when I said YES BEFORE I felt fully ready.
🌸Last year, a group of women did exactly that. Many arrived in Morocco not knowing a single person. Some had never traveled solo. Some were nervous. Some almost didn’t book.
❤️By the end of the trip, they were sharing stories under the stars in the Sahara, cheering each other on, and leaving with friendships that extended far beyond the trip itself.
🐪If you’re craving adventure, connection, confidence, or simply a chance to do something for yourself, I’d love to have you join us. This epic road trip starts in Marrakech and goes to the Dades Valley and the Sahara desert and ends in Fes. What’s included:
✨ Hot air balloon ride & hammam
🐪 Sahara Desert glamping
🏜️ ATVs and desert adventures
🍲 Moroccan cooking class & pottery workshop
📸 Professional photos throughout the trip
🧘‍♀️ Breathwork sessions & intention circles
🤍 An incredible community of women
🚌 Private transportation, guide, all meals & activities
👉Email subscribers and past travelers will receive first access and a $400 off booking bonus before public launch.
Comment MOROCCO below and I’ll send you the detailed itinerary and add you to my email list for first access!!
✈️See you in Morocco!!

Comment "redwood" for my free national park guide! Save and share with someone you want to take this trip with. Follow for more travel & wellness guides!
👉This national and state park is spread out in different areas and is never too crowded. This is my 4th time there and I literally found myself to be the only one several times when exploring. Cell service is poor depending on where you are so be sure to stock up on food, water and tell someone where you're headed for the day. I also saw a bear when photographing the lupines so keep an eye out and be sure to leave no trace.
📍Stay at .arcata because it's a fantastic boutique property with rustic cabins. The best part is the hot tubs outdoors that are sooo relaxing after a day of exploring.
🌸Roadtrip itinerary:
👉DAY 1:
1. From SF head towards Arcata. On the way drive the Avenue of the Giants.
2. Stop at the Victorian town of Ferndale! They have the cutest bakery!
3. Check into the hotel
👉DAY 2:
1. Explore Lady Bird Johnson Grove.
2. Drive up Bald Hills for the lupines
3. Hike through the Karl Knapp trail
4. Lunch in Arcata's little square at Chilango's (organic tacos)!
5. End the day soaking in the hot tubs!
👉Day 3
1. On your way out stop in Eureka for lunch and explore the murals!
2. Drive through the Avenue of the Giants if you missed it the first time!

Comment "yosemite" for my detailed guide on easy hikes, viewpoints, stay options and where to eat! Nature is peaceful and Yosemite's every scene provides just that! Leave no trace and help keep this national park clean.
🌸Lately, through all my health challenges with the disc herniation, fibroids and endometriosis, I feel like I'm chasing more peace of mind than anything else. Life is indeed too short to be living in constant tension! Anyone else? What are you chasing??

Thanks to ADM’s experts, I found the perfect low calorie, high energy, nutritious ingredient to include in my snacks for a day hike in San Francisco’s Lands End. Dried Apricots! I made my own trail mix with dried apricots, almonds, cashews and chocolate nibs! Have you ever had dried apricots for a hiking snack? https://theeagertraveler.com/.../07/30/best-day-hike-snacks/
