One of our favorite spots in Santa Rosa. A beautiful 3 mile walk on a paved road. You can either pay to park inside or go to Howarth Park and walk the extra 0.5 mile path into the park.
Our favorite breakfast place! You can't go wrong with any of the eggs benedicts or the cinnamon walnut french toast. It's a super popular spot in town and they don't take reservations, so make sure to get there early! (Park across the street at the iHop)
You can't go wrong with any of the wineries in Sonoma County. But we love the lavendar gardens and beautiful views of the Matanzas Creek Winery—not to mention great wine.
Armstrong Woods is a stunning redwood forest located just minutes from Guerneville. It's a peaceful place filled with towering ancient trees and easy walking trails. It's the perfect spot to explore if you're looking to enjoy some fresh air and classic Northern California scenery during your visit!
If you're up for a little adventure, Sonoma Zipline Adventures offers an unforgettable ride through the redwoods—complete with ziplines, sky bridges, and forest views from high above the ground. It's a fun and unique way to experience the beauty of the area! (Also yes this is a picture of Hunter doing the zipline, Katie just didn't want to pay $10 for the picture)
Safari West is a super fun wildlife preserve in Sonoma where you can hop in a jeep and go on an African-style safari. You'll see giraffes, zebras, and all kinds of amazing animals up close.
Doran Beach is a beautiful, laid-back spot along the Sonoma Coast—perfect for a walk, a picnic, or just relaxing by the water. There are plenty of other great beaches in the area, but this one’s a favorite of ours. It’s a peaceful place to soak in some ocean views and breathe in that salty sea air!
A fun and nostalgic stop celebrating the creator of Peanuts, with original comics, cute exhibits, and lots of Snoopy charm. Great for fans of all ages!
