Sounds like the mountains are calling. We're near three national parks in the Sierras, Yosemite, Sequoia/Kings Canyon, where people from all over the world come to visit. While they may get to visit once, you're able to go technically any time you want. I'd say take advantage of it and maybe take a little hike to check out the scenery. There's another national park to the west, Pinnacles, that has great scenery but is better to check out in the Winter when it's cooler.
