Nov. 29 – Dec. 21

ECO-ADVENTURE:
The Diablo Dare
Mount Diablo, East Bay
Grab your bike and see if you’ve got what it takes to conquer the Devil. The climb is often underestimated, but the last 30km (a 17% grade) will get the most advanced rider praying for respite. The reward is one of the most amazing views Northern California has to offer, and believe us, you are gonna work for it.

Where to Stop

Fried Artichokes and a pit-stop to discover the Santa Cruz mountain wine country. Castroville comes alive in May for the annual artichoke festival. Known as the center of the artichoke universe, Castroville has welcomed celebs like Marilyn Monroe 91948's Artichoke Queen) in its long 49 year history, you really need to go for two words: fried artichokes. Really, you haven't lived until you get them fresh from the fryer. Stay at the Sanctuary Beach Resort and make your way over to Bonny Doon's tasting room to get a real food and wine getaway experience.
