California is a vast and diverse state, stretching nearly 900 miles from Mexico to Oregon along the Pacific coastline. With everything from towering mountain peaks and lush redwood forests to sun-drenched beaches and arid deserts, the state offers an unparalleled variety of landscapes and adventures for travelers to explore.
Northern California is dominated by several iconic landmarks and outdoor playgrounds. The Redwood Coast along Highway 101 features drives through primeval redwood forests like those found in Redwood National and State Parks. To the east, the Sierra Nevada mountain range is home to three national parks - Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon - renowned for their granite cliffs, waterfalls, giant sequoia trees and world-class hiking.
In the northeast corner of the state, volcanic activity has shaped the rugged landscape around Mount Shasta and Lassen Volcanic National Park. The San Francisco Bay Area is the cultural heart of Northern California, with the scenic vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge, the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma, and the cosmopolitan cities of San Francisco and Oakland.
Continuing south, Central California is home to one of the most fertile agricultural regions in the world - the Central Valley. Stretching for over 400 miles, the valley is lined with farmland, cowering tractors, orchards and vineyards. Major cities like Sacramento, Fresno and Bakersfield are surrounded by a patchwork of fields.
On the coast, the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur coastline offer breathtaking seaside vistas and charming waterfront towns. Inland, Yosemite National Park straddles the Sierra Nevada range, captivating visitors with its glacier-carved granite monoliths like El Capitan and Half Dome.
Southern California is defined by its beaches, deserts and cities. Los Angeles, with its Hollywood sign and celebrity culture, is the second largest U.S. city. Just south, Orange County seamlessly blends suburban sprawl with iconic beach towns like Huntington Beach. San Diego's laid-back vibe attracts visitors to its historic Gaslamp Quarter and sunny beaches.
Inland, Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley are a playground for outdoor enthusiasts with hiking trails, hot springs and golf courses backdropped by the stark desert landscapes. To the east, Joshua Tree National Park straddles the Colorado Desert and Mojave Desert with surreal rock formations and opportunities for camping, climbing and stargazing.
