Fujikawaguchiko
Overnight here and never saw Fuji once — solid overcast, though it did good things for the fall colors. Went back for a day trip at the end of the trip to Japan and got about as lucky as you can get.

Lassen Volcanic
Lowkey underrated. Went here instead of Yosemite and had the trails mostly to ourselves, and it was the first real bed and breakfast I've stayed at in the US — not an Airbnb with a lockbox and a list of rules.
Golden Hour
Point Reyes
An hour from the city and it does a fair Scottish Highlands impression, right down to the weather. Don't go May through August unless you want fog; there's a herd of tule elk out on the point that you'll see either way.
Crater Lake
Water blue enough that you want to get in, cold enough that you immediately want back out. We made it down to the shore the season before they closed the trail for repairs.
