Planning a California Road Trip – Need Suggestions!
Hey everyone! I’m planning a California road trip and would love your suggestions and tips.
🛬 Arriving: July 8th (Tuesday morning) – Landing in LAX 🛫 Returning: July 15th (Tuesday morning) – Flying out from LAX
I’ve heard about a bunch of places and would love to visit a few, but I’m not sure what’s realistic or worth prioritizing. Here's what I'm considering:
✅ Must-visit for me:
Yosemite National Park Lake Tahoe Big Sur Universal Studios San Francisco Los Angeles 🤔 Maybe / not sure:
San Diego Sacramento San Jose Santa Cruz Santa Barbara I'm open to a mix of nature, scenic drives, light hikes, iconic spots, and chill coastal towns—but I really have no clue what to prioritize or how to plan it out across 7 full days.
Would love your help:
What would you skip or 100% include? Are some of these places doable together? Any route or itinerary suggestions? Hidden gems along the way? Appreciate any input! 🙏 #travel california #travel #activities
