California isn't known for its barbecue, but if you have a craving for steak or BBQ, head to Henry's. They have an unconventional seating system, so make sure to grab a number as soon as you get in the door and start thinking about your order. And grab a drink at the bar while you wait. If you're confused, just asked the others around you and they will help you figure it out.

If you want to see the big trees, head up to Big Basin. But remember to bring a jacket. It's usually several degrees colder up in the mountains.
