Weekend trips within 200 miles of San Jose

Escape the city in three clicks, not a week of planning

EvacuationPath puts together the route, the gear, and the place to stay, so a weekend away starts with a booking instead of a spreadsheet.

Built for people who want a weekend off, not a second job planning it

EvacuationPath is a booking service for weekend trips and unique routes within 200 miles of San Jose. We work with city dwellers, couples, freelancers, and families who want to reset on a Saturday without a week of research, gear shopping, and phone calls to campgrounds.

Instead of piecing together a route, a tent, and a place to stay from five different tabs, you pick a trip or build one from our catalog, and we handle the logistics behind it: gear delivery, verified stops, lodging, transfer, and insurance coverage where the trip calls for it.

A good weekend trip is one where the planning took less time than the trip itself.
  • Ready-made weekend trips and custom routes within 200 miles
  • Gear delivered and picked up — no loading a car with rental equipment yourself
  • A location catalog with audio guides and vetted stops, not a random map pin

Four ways to get out of the city this weekend

Book a full trip, rent just the gear, or use our location catalog to plan your own route — each piece works on its own or together.

01

Ready-made weekend trips

Pre-planned routes and unique itineraries within 200 miles of San Jose, built around a theme — coastline, redwoods, high desert — so you pick a trip, not a to-do list.

From city desk to campsite in three steps

01

Pick a trip or build one

Choose a ready-made weekend trip, or pick gear and locations to put together your own.

02

Review and book

See the full itinerary, what’s included, and the price before you confirm.

03

Rental gear is delivered where you need it, set up if that’s part of the package.

04

Follow the route and audio guide, or your fully planned itinerary if you booked turnkey.

05

What makes this different

Three clicks, not a week

A trip you can book on a Wednesday and leave for on Friday.

Gear that shows up ready

No loading a roof rack yourself or guessing if a tent fits your car.

Vetted stops, not guesswork

Every location in the catalog has been checked and comes with an audio guide.

One booking, not five

Lodging, transfer, and insurance in a single itinerary when you want it that way.

06

Who books with us

City dwellers

Want a real change of scenery without losing a week to planning it.

Couples

Looking for a weekend that feels like a trip, not an errand.

Freelancers

Can leave on short notice and want a trip that’s ready when they are.

Families with kids

Need gear that’s already set up and a route that doesn’t require a packing list.

07

Before you book

How far can I travel with EvacuationPath?

All trips, gear rentals, and catalog locations are within about 200 miles of San Jose, which covers the coast, the Sierra foothills, and most of Northern California within a few hours’ drive.

Can I rent gear without booking a full trip?

Yes. Rooftop tents, glamping equipment, SUP boards, and picnic kits are available to rent on their own, delivered and picked up.

Do I need to know how to set up the gear?

Gear can be delivered set up depending on the item and package; where it isn’t, we include simple setup instructions. If a package includes setup, that’s stated on the listing before you book.

What does a "fully planned" trip include?

It bundles lodging, transfer, and insurance coverage into one itinerary, so instead of three separate bookings you have one, with a single point of contact if plans change.

How does the audio guide work?

Each catalog location includes a short audio guide you can play from your phone at the stop — no app download or signal required once it’s loaded.

What if the weather changes my plans?

Reach out to our support line before your trip and we’ll help you reschedule or adjust the itinerary where the trip allows it.
