Start your California travels in the southern part of the state, where the second largest city in the country, Los Angeles, is located. Shop, dine and enjoy the lavish and fabulous nightlife in LA.

Travel up North, to the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area! Check out an art festival, have a delicious dinner on the waterfront and snap a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco is well known for its rolling hills, colorful Victorian style homes, quaint parks and cable car system. Many tourists decide to hop on the old-fashioned cables cars to get from one end of the city to the next. Head out of the San Francisco area, to some of northern California’s state parks, where hundred year old Redwood trees can be found along with a wide variety of wildlife. Try some of the local’s homegrown, farm fresh foods that can be purchased at an outdoor market and stay in a California cabin or B&B Inn.

Travel down the grapevine and catch beautiful views of the Pacific coastline. Head to the Sierra Mountains for a family hiking trip or some adventurous mountain climbing on your California vacation. Next up check out Death Valley, west of LA, where there is more than three million acres of open land; the perfect place for hiking, biking, and sight-seeing.
