Lol I love how all of the recs so far are south. This is my favorite spot for a close-enough, northern getaway from the Bay. I’ve stayed in Airbnbs in Guerneville a couple times (DM and I can dig up the one with the hot tub way up in the redwoods) and it’s a great location since it’s closer to the coast and more redwoods/ocean than the hotness of more inland Sonoma/Napa. Go hiking in Jenner by Goat Rock and Armstong Redwoods. Ideally hit Korbel beforehand to pick up a perfect sandwich to eat on your hike. Get the best cinnamon bun of your life at Gold Star (halfway between Guerneville and the coast). Russian River Brewing is a great chill dinner spot. Probs take 101 up for a quicker drive (and a classic stop at In N Out or the veggie version essentially, Annie’s), then you can take the slow drive down 1 on the way back through Bodega Bay and Point Reyes.

If you're visiting any of the Redwoods preserves in Sonoma County area, I highly recommend acquiring the oldest functioning convertible available (inquire @: any tenured prof that takes a shine to ya) and cruising the Pacific Coast... it is so choice. (P.S. might be foggy and cold af so also make sure to bring a wool-lined, corduroy jacket)
