Weekend in the Bay Area | Getaway for 3 days and 2 nights ⛺️🥩 🙋‍♂️

If you, like me, want to get close to nature but are worried about crowds in Tahoe and Yosemite, then Garden Valley is perfect for you! Gather some friends, escape the city, and quietly listen to the frogs at night, seeking the tranquility that's often lost within. - 🚗 Garden Valley is 2.5 hours from the Bay Area, right next to El Dorado National Forest ⛰️ We booked a large cabin up in the mountains this time. The host warmly oriented us and repeatedly reminded us that we were living in the forest, where bears and mountain lions are common visitors. Luckily, they didn't come into the cabin, but unfortunately, I really wanted to see what a mountain lion looks like. #NearbyTravelFromTheBayArea #LongWeekendInBayArea #HikingWithGreatScenery #CaliforniaTravel
