Summer Trippin': Where to go and what to do from coast to coast

Trip Out

El Capitan Canyon Resort Road Trip

Sometimes you’ve got to get away.

Make a quick escape (and take the whole fam) to El Capitan Canyon Resort. A tiny universe filled with cabins, tents, llamas, s’mores, tide pools, hiking, and all sorts of other foreign customs, this gentle, fun, and relaxing sphere is right off the 101.

Pack Poketo’s beautiful Still of the Night Dreambook to record, sketch, and write about every step of your far-out journey.

And you’ll need one for the road: Toss some bottles of First Juice Apple + Carrot in the back seat so your tots can quench without getting all juiced up (these have lots less sugar than the full-on version).

What a trip.
