How Our Trip to the Hearst Castle Tour Went

We had a pretty good time at the weekend getaway we took to Hearst Castle.

We stayed at a small motel just several miles from the large estate with the giant castle on top. We were virtually out in the middle of nowhere, and it ended up being one of the best little getaways we ever had, we even caught up on some much deserved rest!

The trip to Hearst Castle was very impressive, I must admit. I knew very little about the man and the castle, and they clear that up right away, when you watch a short movie about the man and the castle, and it immediately becomes very very interesting!

You park at the bottom of the mountain, and you take buses up to the top. Our bus driver must have been a race car driver in his earlier days, and the winding steep road is trip all by itself! My wife loved it!

The castle is beautiful and just very impressive. The castle is broken up into several tours, and you have to buy each one. We really enjoyed our weekend getaway, for just the two of us.

I don't know what I was think, but several months later, we wanted to go back to Hearst Castle and take a different tour, but this time we brought 2 of the kids with us, to show them the castle and tour. We went on day that was a holiday, and after driving for over 400 miles, we went the next day, and I did not ever think the tours would be sold out, but when we got their, all tours were sold out, and we wasted so much time, it never dawned on me the tour would be sold out, it was not a hotel, just a tour. It is a public state park now, and the state or government runs it, and I still want to go back again, just don't have the time. You will really enjoy the park, just make sure you get tickets ahead of time, especially if you are driving from far away!
