NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IN APRIL

Visiting San Francisco with its Golden Gate Bridge, wonderful parks, Fisherman’s Wharf, charming architecture, renowned museums and famously good eating, is always a good idea. April is a particularly magical time to be in Northern California because the weather is lovely, everything is in bloom, and tourists are few. Consider planning time around the PL Global Gathering to enjoy all that the area has to offer:

• explore the Napa Sonoma Wine Country
• hike the Point Reyes Seashore National Park https://www.nps.gov/pore/index.htm
• drive the scenic routes around Carmel and Monterey https://www.visitcalifornia.com/destination/spotlight-monterey-carmel
• visit the East Bay – home to University of California at Berkeley and Oakland
• and much, much more!
