We're planning a spring break trip with our college junior son. We had a great time in Olympic National Park a couple of years ago and we thought we would continue to explore the northwest part of the country. We got great advice on that trip here, so I thought I would tap the brain trust again and see what advice people have.

We would likely fly into San Francisco on Saturday and rent a car. The tentative plan would be to spend Saturday and Sunday in the city doing pretty typical tourist stuff before venturing out into the parks and mountains and maybe a little Wine Country for the rest of the week. We would fly back on Sunday.

We were thinking that the Redwood National Forrest would make a good center of operations and we would drive out from there for day hikes and sightseeing. The goal is to be outside as much as possible. We're from the upper Midwest, so mountains and oceans are pretty exotic to us.

Does anyone have any suggestions for where to stay or places to visit?
