Ft. Ord is lots of hiking trails and not the prettier ones-- no trees at all and it gets hot. Nothing very "monumental" about it. Point Lobos near Carmel is a jewel and said to be the setting for Treasure Island.

Whale watching in Monterey Bay is usually good. Santa Cruz has a boardwalk, but has a strong hippie vibe/smell. Henry Cowell State Park near Santa Cruz has some big Redwoods close to the parking lot.

No signal for most of the drive up the coast from Morro Bay, but recommend stopping at Nepenthe and Pfeiffer State Park on the way up from Morro Bay.

Bring a sweatshirt. Or buy one when you get there. If they like golf, do 17 mile drive through Pebble Beach. Lots of tide pools on Asilomar Beach. There's a nice bicycle path through town & you can rent bikes.

So: Pfeiffer State Park, Point Lobos State Park, Henry Cowell State Park

Awesome suggestions. Much appreciated. So far we just have lodging at holiday inn cannery row and the best western in oakhurst which is just south of Yosemite.
