Highlights

Enjoy fresh seafood and sourdough bread overlooking the beautiful San Francisco Bay. Head off into the magnificent wilderness of Yosemite and soak in the starry California skies. Mountain bike, ski, and snowboard around Mammoth Lakes. Get hot and bothered in the otherworldly terrain of Death Valley National Park, and get your hike on in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Find a bargain at the Barstow shopping outlets, and lose yourself in Las Vegas’s many gigantic hotels, fabulous restaurants and over-the-top performance venues.
