California

Reaching from Mexico's border in the south to the Pacific Northwest in the north, California has one of the most diverse climates of any state.
There is a vast alpine preserve, known as Yosemite Valley, located 150 miles east of San Francisco in the Sierra Nevadas. So, whether you enjoy cities, mountains, forests or oceans, California offers more variety than any other state. Hikers and mountain bikers will love the mountains of California. The coast side is nestled between the dramatic green Santa Cruz Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
The spectacular beauty of the rugged coastline at Big Sur, alpine beauty of Yosemite Valley, impressive grandeur of the giant Sequoia forests combine to make this one of the favorite vacation destinations for hikers, bikers, campers, wilderness backpackers, skiers and just plain tourists.
