Map of The United States

Stretching along the Pacific Ocean for nearly 900 miles, The Golden State is home to sandy beaches, redwood forests, the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Mojave Desert. From the dazzling entertainment industry of Los Angeles to the hilly, cable-car-filled San Francisco, California truly offers something for every lifestyle. Spend a day at one of several popular theme parks, or head into the outdoors on a hike through Joshua Tree National Park. Bike the Golden Gate Bridge, soak up the sun on cliff-lined beaches, or hop on a ferry at Fisherman’s Wharf and head to Alcatraz Island. Looking for winter activities? Head to Lake Tahoe and ski the slopes of Heavenly Mountain or Squaw Valley. From the northern to southern reaches of the state, California offers a place for everyone to call home.
