Lake Tahoe
|
|
|
| |
Lake Tahoe is one of California’s most famous destinations. The
largest alpine lake in North America, Tahoe’s cold clear waters
collect the runoff from more than 600 inches of snow which dust the
surrounding peaks each season, attracting skiers from around the
world, and in summer, the deep blue waters attract boaters, anglers,
cyclists, and hot air balloonists. |

Modesto
|
Population: 200,000
|
|
| |
Modesto is located in the heart of California’s central San Joaquin
Valley. Surrounded by fertile farmlands that produce dairy products,
fruits, nuts, and other resources for the country, Modesto is a small
town at heart, with a growing population that appreciates the escape
from the larger urban areas nearby. |

|
Napa Valley
|
|
|
| |
Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley are California’s Wine Country, home to
some of the most famous vineyards in the world. Touring the vineyards
and wine tasting are the most popular attractions here, but the
fantastic surroundings are great for anything from hot air ballooning
to bicycling to picnic lunches. |

|
Oakland
|
Population: 1.5 million
|
|
| |
Oakland has always struggled to forge an identity for itself separate
from its famous sister across the bay. Once primarily a major port
town, Oakland has a pleasant climate and convenient access to both the
San Francisco area and East Bay spots like Berkeley. |
| |
|
|
|
San Francisco
|
Population: 2.7 million (area population)
|
|
| |
San Francisco is one of the few North American cities to achieve the
legendary status of such places as Paris or London. It is a city
defined by collisions: of Mexican, Asian, and American cultures, of
the cold north Pacific ocean with the sunny California mainland, of
18th century Spanish missions with 21st century financial skyscrapers.
Whether you’re in sight of landmarks like Alcatraz or the Golden Gate
Bridge makes no difference: San Francisco’s tangible character is
enough to tell you where you are. |

Sierra Nevadas
|
|
|
| |
The Sierra Nevada of eastern California are one of the country’s most
astounding treasures. These mountains are wild: wild geology, with
glaciers and volcanoes, wild animal life like the state bear and the
golden eagle, and even wild plant life in the immense sequoia forests.
Encompassing three national parks, six national forests, and thousands
of square miles of other protected areas, the Sierra Nevada is one of
the largest islands of scenic wilderness remaining in the United States. |

|
|
|
Yosemite National Park
|
|
|
| |
Yosemite National Park encompasses a spectacular tract of
mountain-and-valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada. The park harbors a
grand collection of waterfalls, meadows, and forests that include
groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest living things. Most
famous is the awe-inspiring Half Dome, a massive granite rock face
that juts dramatically out of the glacially-carved valley. |
