San Francisco: The bustling, beautiful City by the Bay is less than an hour and a half away. Great shopping, beautiful parks, unique cultural events, and wonderful dining make San Francisco a great day trip from Davis. Watch the Giants play at AT&T Park, attend to a free concert at Stern Grove, or simply wander the streets of North Beach, Fisherman's Wharf, or Chinatown.
Wine Country: Napa, Sonoma, and Alexander Valley are less than an hour drive from Davis. Students can enjoy a day trip with friends or a romantic weekend with a significant other to California's premier wine region. For those looking to pack their schedules with multiple winery stops, be sure to arrange for a designated driver.
Tahoe: In the winter and spring months, Lake Tahoe has many ski resorts to choose from. Just two hours from Davis, Tahoe is a great weekend destination for snowboarding or skiing in the winter, and hiking, swimming, or mountain biking in the summer.
Sacramento: California's capitol and the seventh most populous city in California is just a fifteen-minute drive from Davis. Sacramento is perfect for those seeking more of a big-city nightlife. King Hall students are attracted to the city's restaurants, clubs, and concerts, especially on weekends. Those new to the area can plan a day trip to Old Sacramento. The historic area includes old saloons, little shops along wooden-planked sidewalks, and a train museum.
National Parks: Yosemite, Big Sur, and Lassen are all just a few hours away, but close enough to allow for some seriously fun weekend hiking and camping trips. (Plus, camping is one of the few extracurricular activities conducive to a law student budget.) Students can visit Outdoor Adventures for inexpensive gear rental.
