California Travel

California has two of America's favorite urban destinations: San Francisco and Los Angeles. In these pages we feature their world-class museums, superb restaurants, diverse neighborhoods and a host of attractions from theme parks to shopping centers.

The Golden State is also home to stunning national parks such as Yosemite, Redwoods and Death Valley; charming wine regions like Napa Valley and Sonoma, historic ghost towns, Spanish missions, fantastic beaches, rugged mountains and some of the most beautiful coastal scenery anywhere. Laid-back towns and vibrant cities like San Diego, La Jolla, Carmel or Monterey make great places to stay.

Read about all this and more in the California Travel pages.
