Some of my favorite California places include Napa Valley, San Francisco, Yosemite, Disneyland, and of course the beaches of San Diego (above photo is a view of Scripps pier in La Jolla and the world famous Black's Beach San Diego). And if you are looking for the scenic route from north to south, you'll love the Pacific Coast Highway.

Just north of San Francisco in Northern California is Napa Valley, the most famous wine country in California. Full of beautiful vineyards and wineries open for wine tasting, it is a relaxing way to spend the day. At the northern end of the valley is the charming town of Calistoga. Enjoy a mudbath, massage or other spa treatment in one of the many local spas in town. (Photo credit Melissa Dixon). A great California travel destination in Northern California.
I love San Francisco, the most beautiful city in the world. Shown here is the famous Golden Gate Bridge (photo credit Cathy Snider). If you visit Northern California, a trip to San Francisco, or "The City" as it is called by the locals, is a must. It is a warm and beautiful city in the winter, but in the summer be warned - the fog may be scenic over the bridge but "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco".
Yosemite National Park in Northern California is one of the most scenic spots in the world. Shown here is a photo of Half Dome in Yosemite Valley at Sunset (photo credit Andy Bollock). If you travel to California you should include a visit to Yosemite. Check out Yosemite California for a complete guide to Yosemite National Park. It has all the information you need to make a fantastic journey to beautiful Yosemite, with its granite mountains and beautiful waterfalls.
If you've never been to Disneyland, then a visit while you travel California is a treat. Bring a child or two for the most fun, but all young-at-heart adults will enjoy it too. The website Disneyland Vacation Tips has great tips on enjoying Disneyland California. We also have tips on discount tickets to Disneyland, and all the other popular theme parks in Southern California.
The Pacific Coast Highway runs along the United States western shore along Washington, Oregon and California's coast. It is a beautiful scenic road to explore. If you have the time, your visit to California should include a stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway. Here's a great website written by two award-winning travel writers about America's Pacific Coast Highway. Another great way to travel California!
