Via California - May/June 2020 - 25

" My husband and I
are looking forward to driving
Highway 1 from the Golden Gate
Bridge to Bodega Bay. We plan to
revisit our favorite spots, including
Muir Beach, the Point Reyes
headlands, and Two Bird Café,
where we enjoyed a delicious
Thanksgiving dinner last year. "

design director

↘ When it's safe to travel for leisure, the
Via team plans to hit these spots in California.
" The first place I'd like to go after travel
restrictions lift? Across the Central Valley
on Highway 120, up and over Sonora
Pass (my favorite trans-Sierra crossing),
and down into Bridgeport for lunch
at the Burger Barn, to be eaten alfresco
while gazing across that big valley to
Matterhorn Peak and Sawtooth Ridge. "
-dan miller, executive editor
" Wine country is my happy place, so I will
be headed to Napa Valley. For sprawling
views of vineyards, it's hard to beat the
drive along the Silverado Trail. It's stunning
at any time of year, but especially in
late summer while the vines are lush, right
before harvest. " -veronica sooley,
associate art director
" For my family and me, a trek up to the
Sierra foothills is in order so that we can
get our fix of beautiful tree-lined mountains,
blue skies, and clear vistas. It's easily
reached from the Bay Area, yet far
enough away to give us a self-care weekend. "
-tom henry, director, brand and
digital content marketing
" My favorite road trips revolve around
food. I've been fantasizing about taking
Highway 1 north from Point Reyes
Station, where I'll pick up Cowgirl
Creamery cheese and Brickmaiden
Bread, to Marshall, where I'll grab fresh
oysters and set up a beach picnic. "
-whitney phaneuf, managing editor
" I just got a tent, with the thought that
camping will make for a safe getaway this
summer. First stop: Big Sur. It's one of
my favorite places, yet I haven't been in
probably 10 years. I can't wait to go to
Pfeiffer Beach, climb the rocks, and
watch the ocean, then enjoy a snack on
the deck at Nepenthe. " -amy mackey,
production director
" I'm dreaming of a Central Coast road
trip down to Avila Beach. My family has
some favorite waypoints along Highway
101, including a lunch stop at Firestone
Walker in Paso Robles. Taking 101 means
more time to stop for pie at the Avila
Valley Barn and to explore the beachfront
restaurants in town. " -rebecca harper,
executive digital producer
" When the shelter-in-place order is
lifted, I will head to Yosemite National
Park-one of my favorite places on earth!
My family has been going to Yosemite for
generations, so I feel connected to my
ancestors when visiting. Being at one with
nature and the beauty of the park, I am
overcome with a peaceful tranquility. "
-bruce colton, account executive
