California is on almost everyone's bucket list. Finding fun things to do in California is not the issue; it's trying to narrow the choices down to a manageable level. Whether you're an outdoors person or a lover of city lights, the Golden State has unforgettable sights and adventures waiting. This, the nation's third largest but most populous state, has something for every age and every interest.
Famous place names ring a bell for people all over the world. Hollywood. Disneyland. Malibu. The golden Gate Bridge. Fisherman's Wharf. The Presidio. Rodeo Drive. Napa Valley. Oxnard, with its strawberry fields and annual festival. Los Angeles. The list goes on.
Want the great outdoors? Yosemite National Park is true wilderness, complete with wildlife of every description. Whitewater ranges from beginner level to Class V rapids on the Salmon or the Scott. Giant sequoias grow to 350 feet and are big enough around to live in. Rare birds live on the coast, in the mountain forests, and in tidal marshes.
Hikers can choose to climb part or all of Mt. Whitney, the nation's highest mountain, or venture to the continent's lowest point in Death Valley. They can find real wilderness in Yosemite National Park and rare birds in Sacramento Valley. Those who love the water can catch a world-class wave off one of the Oxnard beaches, swim serenely in Lake Placid, or watch a sunset over the mighty Pacific from a coastal clifftop.
The famous cities attract people like magnets. San Francisco is considered by many to be the world's most fascinating city, with its hills, unique architecture, and trolley cars. The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the state's top ten tourist favorites. Dining, shopping, and exploring the city can fill an entire vacation.
People take tours in Palm Springs to see the homes of the rich and famous. They stroll in areas where the stars are known to shop, dine, and play, in hopes of catching a glimpse of a leading actor or actress. There is Los Angeles' Walk of Fame, where bronze stars are awarded to people outstanding in their field. The giant white letters on the side of Mount Lee make sure no one misses out on Hollywood. Movie studio tours are always popular.
Although most people think of movie stars and beaches when they think of the Golden State, the state's largest industry is agriculture. There are miles of citrus groves, vineyards, strawberry fields, truck gardens, and orchards. A tour of Northern California shows visitors just how big and varied this great state really is.
Even historic, magnificent municipal buildings are tourist attractions here. Visit a mission to learn more about the history or browse the museums. Swim in a turquoise pool at a luxury resort or spot rare birds in a marshy preserve. Eat fresh seafood. No matter what you want to do on your vacation, you can do it in California.
