Nice article and very informative. We just spent two nights this past December at the Highland's Inn, this is such a gorgeous area of the CA coast! ***kim***

Great article! Thanks for ;posting it, Stu!

Just to add a couple of other points not in the article:

Sea Lion Point Trail is extremely easy and is wheelchair accessible.

I agree with the author that Cypress Point Trail is the best trail.

My second favorite trail is not mentioned, it's the South Shore Trail - very easy, but not wheelchair accessible. Lots of tidepools for the kids - and grownups too!

We were there this past Sunday and it was truly a spectacular day. And my favorite places Whaler's Cove and Gibson Beach benefitted from the fabulous weather, the ocean was amazingly calm and seals were sun bathing on the rocks.

My sister was enchanted by the ranger who when she asked for a senior entrance fee, said "at what college are you a senior". Such a charming start to a lovely visit.

I took a "girls" trip to Sonoma, and it was a very
charming town. We went to several wineries, and
had a great time. We loved the restaurant The Armitage.
I liked the quaint feeling the town of Sonoma had.

I'm a native Californian who has seen much of the state. My family and I were stunned by the beauty of this place.
