California Dreamin�

Footloose

Feast your eyes on the spectacular scenery of Tahoe and Yosemite and tickle your tastebuds amongst the vineyards of Napa Valley during a new Footloose 8-day �California Escape� lodging tour departing San Francisco 31st May, 21st June, 19th July, 9th August & 20th September 05.

Rugged coastlines, delectable wines and the natural wonders of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are all on the Footloose menu. Northern California may be laid back but still offers an amazing variety of delights for all the senses. Start with a walk across the famous Golden Gate Bridge to the rugged coast of Point Reyes. Stroll along the paths above the windswept cliffs spotting the abundance of sea and birdlife that inhabit the area. Next, explore the rolling hills and vineyards of California�s Napa Valley. Learn about the rich history and agriculture of the area, home to many of the oldest vineyards in Northern California and many of America�s most prestigious wines, during an included six hour wine tour � plenty of opportunities to sample the product too! Head east into the Sierra Nevada Mountains for a sunset sail on the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe.

By day enjoy one of the many hiking trails and at night try your luck at Caesar�s Palace Casino! Swap the shores of Lake Tahoe for the breathtaking vistas of glacially-carved granite cliffs and some of the world�s tallest waterfalls in Yosemite National Park. Tackle one of the numerous park trails � if you like a challenge try the 17-mile round trip to the top of Half Dome.

For those who don�t fancy hiking, try biking, �tube� down the river or just enjoy the spectacular scenery from the comfort of a lounger by the open-air pool! This is laid-back California after all! Finally, head back to San Francisco and be sure to wear some flowers in your hair!

The �California Escape� tour costs from �678 p/p (May, June & Oct) including transport in Footloose's customised V8 maxivan, hotel accommodation, a six hour historical wine tour with lunch, Lake Tahoe Sunset cruise and admission to all National Parks as per itinerary. Flights are not included but may be arranged through Footloose.
