California Vacation Guide
California is the third-largest U.S. state by land area. Its geography ranges from the Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the east, to Mojave desert areas in the southeast and the Redwood-Douglas fir forests of the northwest.
You can walk the old Chinatown of San Francisco, go wine tasting in Napa & Sonoma, visit the glitzy Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood at night, gawk at the mansions of Beverly Hills, watch the extremely good surfers surf the BIG waves at Mavericks, ski the mammoth Mammoth Mountain, see sea otters frolic in Monterey Bay, fish at one of thousands of lakes in the high Sierras or experience the quiet majesty of the towering redwood groves. You can find just about any cuisine from east to west. With its large immigrant population, the ethnic foods and fusion dishes abound. In short, there is something for everyone in this beautiful state.
People often think of earthquakes when they think of California. While there may be some, they are relatively too small to be noticed. The weather is generally nice with cooler temperatures near the coast and much higher temperatures in the inland valleys and desert regions. Night time temperatures may dip into the 50s or 60s.
Southern California has entertainment for everyone -- beaches, mountains, desert, nightlife, golf, adventure. Much of California's beauty can be seen by traveling along Pacific Coast Highway, which runs along the coastline from southern to northern California.
