Definitely worth the trip if you find yourself in the Golden state! I was lucky enough to arrive when the golden poppies were blooming. Could have used a little more sun but the governor assured me that next time he would see to it.

Keep your eyes open for large birds soaring on the air currents below you as you watch great ships sail to and from the bay and Pacific.
