12 Days San Fran/Yosemite/ETC.
Family of 4 (12 yo kids) traveling into San Fran in July to see the city, Yosemite, some giant redwoods (closer than Redwood NF), and ETC?
Any suggestions for the ETC portion of our trip that doesn't involve hours of driving?
I'm anticipating about 3 days in SF, 3-4 days in Yosemite, and the rest is up in the air.
Considering: Monterey area and Sequoia NP so far. Have already experienced wine country and not interested in revisiting with kiddos.
Thanks in advance!

>>Considering: Monterey area and Sequoia NP so farcould fit Sequoia into your plan but it would add a lot of extra driving.
4 days SF including the partial day on arrival, 3 full days (4 nights) in Yosemite and 4 days in the Monterey/Carmel/Santa Cruz area would fill your time.

Gold country- Columbia historic park. Loved that. Caves, swimming, cheesy tourist stuff, history.
But Monterey is a lot of fun as well. I'd skip Sequoia because I don't see much of a point of driving that far if you have to head back to SF.

Mariposa Grove may or may not be open to see Sequoias in Yosemite in July but there are other places. https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvis...iposagrove.htm
To see the Coast Redwoods try Butano about 50 miles south of San Francisco.
For hiking on sand dunes try Ano Nuevo State Park south of Pigeon Point lighthouse. There is a HI Hostel at the Pigeon Point lighthouse if you are looking for a cheap place to stay.

Santa Cruz is a fun place to be for the 4th. There isn't a sanctioned fireworks show, but people set them off from the beaches and sometimes from boats out on the bay. If you can get a fire pit, an evening on the beach with a bon fire watching the fireworks is a great way to spend the evening.
