California
California is famous for its sun, beaches and mountain resorts. Vacations to this popular state are always filled with the wonder of the sights and sounds that await you. Landscapes abound, from desert beauty to the high peaks of the Sierras.
Start in the south and work your way north to take in all the sights. Beautiful forests are a real treat in California, from Big Sur to Yosemite Valley. Beaches all along the coast invite you into the beautiful Pacific Ocean. You'll find the climate varies widely in California. It all depends on where you go. You'll find the arid desert climate in Palm Springs, perfect for sunbathing and swimming in the summer.
San Diego will thrill the whole family with Sea World and the famed San Diego Zoo. Balboa Park houses dozens of museums but is also filled with a wilderness that it's a pleasure to ride through on horseback. In the southern sun, near Los Angeles, it's always a treat to visit Venice Beach, unlike any other beach in the country. See the street performers and acrobats. Of course, you can't miss Hollywood, Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm.
Head north to the rolling hills of San Francisco. Ride the trolleys and find some great souvenirs near Fisherman's Wharf to take home as gifts and mementos. Venture into the Sierras and stay in luxury lodging in Lake Tahoe. You'll have mountain vistas from your window that will take your breath away.
