Without a doubt, California is a tourism hotspot with sunny surf beaches, statuesque redwoods, thriving metropolitan cities, iconic parks, world-class entertainment, a multitude of dining choices, and more. It will tickle your adventurous side.

As you pass every mile marker, the spectacular and dramatic scenery is sure to inspire awe.
Napa Valley is home to more than just 43,000 acres of vineyards and hundreds of winders offering wine tasting. Take the time to check out historic Sonoma in the heart of the winemaking region. You’ll also find incredible restaurants, shopping, recreation opportunities, and elegant lodging. Napa Valley’s small community of Calistoga is famous for its mud baths and hot springs. In addition, you can tour the medieval-style- castle Castello di Amorosa.

Eureka is located in Northern California and is home to the Old Town district where you can view many elaborate Victorian houses such as the famous Carson Mansion. The local Sequoia Park Zoo is another must-see for animal lovers. It features pandas, primates, a walk through aviary and more.

If you have a chance, you’ll want to ride the early-1900s Madaket ferry to see lovely Humboldt Bay which is home to seals and a variety of birdlife.
California is filled with natural wonders. The landscape varies mile after mile from rolling hills to towering mountains to ocean-scapes, there are geographic changes around every bend.

Along historic Route 66, you’ll want to check out Amboy Crater which is the site of an old volcanic. You can hike to the top for unparalleled views.
If you love the harsh beauty of the desert then check out the Artist's Palette which is a hilly region of Death Valley where the naturally occurring oxidation of different metals found within the soil’s makeup has caused the landscape to become colorful with unique hues. While in the Death Valley region of Cali, be sure to check out the panoramic salt flats of Badwater which is famous as the lowest point in America.

The rock dome is located near the beachline and looks enormous in its sheer size.
When talking about Cali’s natural wonders, we must take a few minutes to focus on the iconic redwoods. Be sure to check out the Avenue of the Giants with the Founders Grove. Also, don’t forget to see the Nation’s Christmas Tree and General Sherman.
Yosemite and Half Dome are both famous must-see natural wonders that you’ll want to check off your bucket list while touring California.
