Check out the lesser-known spots like Mariposa Grove instead of just the popular ones like El Capitan. They’re just as beautiful but way less crowded!

I think it’s a good idea to wear hiking shoes even if you're just planning to wander. I learned the hard way when my flip-flops didn't cut it on the trails.

I suggest booking your jump early in the day, like around 8 AM. This way, you beat the rush and have the best chance of clear skies! Plus, you'll have the rest of the day to explore Santa Barbara afterwards.

Bring a jacket! Even if it's sunny, it gets chilly at altitude. I brought my hoodie but wished I had something warmer. Also, don’t let the cold discourage you, the experience is totally worth it!

Lunch options are kinda limited nearby, so consider packing a snack. We ended up wasting time searching for a good place.

Try to book your dive in the early morning around 8 AM; the weather is usually clearer and it's less crowded, meaning shorter waiting times

If you're feeling a bit nervous about the flight, arrive at least 30 minutes early. It gives you time to relax, chat with the instructors, and soak in the amazing views beforehand.
