It’s getting awfully hot inland. Time to head for the ocean.

Along the coast of central and northern California the choices of where to go are almost endless and they’re all terrific. Sometimes, however, amidst them all we tend to forget about San Francisco.

I love hiking around Land’s End as it straddles the Golden Gate with fabulous views of the Marin Headlands, and then turns to face the open Pacific and views of the Farallones, Seal Rock and the Cliff House. This whole area is being substantially spruced-up these days thanks to the exceptional work of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in association with the National Park Service. Take a walk, breath the fresh and cooler air and then grab a bite to eat at Louie’s or the Cliff House. You can sit, relax and soak up the views and wet your appetite for more. You can see the Cliff House & Louie’s in our Taxi Tour of San Francisco story.

Our good friend and master of aerial photography, Robert Campbell, has published a new book of stunning photos. When he brought Point Reyes and the San Andreas Fault Zone to the office a few weeks back, M’Gee and I got so absorbed with it that we spent an entire hour “ooohhhing” and aaahhhhing” over the stunning images. You can see many of them in this video conversation with Robert and Doug.
