Northern California is one of the most picturesque places on the planet. From the giant sequoias in our redwoods forests, to the rocky beaches and the rolling hills exploding with grapes, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be a professional photographer by now. Yeah, we know we’re rockin’ awesome when it comes to Norcal-selfies. We could photograph ourselves day and night and still not capture the essence of just how gorgeous this part of our state is.
We’ve included a few places below that are a photo taking paradise. Since we can’t include ALL our hot spots for photo ecstasy, why don’t you share in the comments where you think Northern California needs us to bring our cameras.
The Tower Bridge in Sacramento puts our capital city on the map. This bridge is lovely in any light. Come for the 4th of July and shoot her while fireworks explode overhead.
In the heart of gold country in Amador County you'll find the most glorious spot. Each year this is where thousands of people flock in the spring for just a few glorious weeks when they can witness hundreds of thousands of daffodils exploding in bloom. Breathtaking.
El Dorado County has a gem here. Dozens of farms tucked in between the Sierra Nevadas and the Sacramento valley. Pick berries in the summer and apples in the fall. Or, wait until Christmas and cut down a tree at one of the farms here. Either way, you'll be back.
Home of the San Francisco Giants. It's like a walk back in time. Sure, the garlic fries are a new treat, but this stadium is magic. It's like watching a ball game the way it used to be.
If you're up snapping shots of Lake Tahoe, then you're much too close not to drop over and see the gem of the area. You'll hate yourself later if you don't.
