San Francisco

No advance planning needed for your road trip itself - since it's self-guided, you can pick any date. We do recommend the best days of the week and seasons for each trip, so it's worth checking those before you go. Some stops recommend a reservation, and we'll flag those in your "Before You Go" guide so you know ahead of time.

A physical trip comes in the mail as 5 sealed envelopes: a "Before You Go" guide, plus 4 surprise stops you open one at a time as your day unfolds. Since it ships, it takes a few days to arrive.

A digital trip has the same 5 sections, sent instantly to your inbox after checkout. Since it's all one document, just go section by section and try not to peek ahead.

You won't know the exact destination ahead of time, but you'll have a good sense of the area:

• Product page: Every trip page includes the general area where the trip ends, as well as the approximate driving distances from nearby cities.
• Trip Map: See roughly where each trip ends.
• Ask us: Tell us where you're starting from and what you're into, and we'll point you toward the right trip.

Plan for a full day of adventure! Most trips include 4–6 hours of exploring, plus the drive to and from your starting point. We recommend choosing a trip that's about 2.5–3.5 hours round-trip from home for the best experience.
