California is a near-mythical place for many, a land immortalized by pop songs, movie stars and images of palm trees and beaches. There are many reasons to make the trip here and every one is worthwhile. Surf the big waves of the central coast; hike and climb mountain areas like Yosemite and the Shasta Cascades; marvel at the north coast's famous Redwood and Sequoia trees or enjoy the many theme parks, zoos and aquariums this Golden State has to offer. California, here we come!
