Hi all, I’m planning a solo weekend trip for my birthday in early Feb, leaving from LA ideally by car. I’m looking for your best recommendations of incredibly beautiful places to visit that are driveable from LA. Times have been tough lately, and I could use some recharging time in nature. I love forests, tall trees, snow, bodies of water (but would choose trees over ocean any day) and old fashioned towns. Somewhere safe enough to drive solo in winter. Budget around $500 for the weekend for lodging. Let me know if you have any ideas of a beautiful place to recharge!! Thank you!
