California
California is known for both its beautiful nature and vibrant cities. This state has a total of nine national parks which is more than any other state.

Drive up the Pacific Coast Highway from San Diego to San Francisco and stop along the way at different beaches and towns. If you can’t quite make it to Tuscany, Napa Valley and Sonoma offer great alternatives for wine tasting and vineyard tours. Believe it or not, you can even ski in the winter at Lake Tahoe!
