California is also blessed with a wonderful and extremely diverse nature, which is particularly attractive for tourists:
The highest mountain in the lower 48 states (Mount Whitney), and at the same time the lowest elevation in America and
the second hottest place on earth (Death Valley). And the largest, tallest and oldest trees in the world (Sequoia, Redwood
and Bristlecone Pine). And one of the highest waterfalls in the world (Yosemite Falls), and one what many consider the best
view on the whole American continent (Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park). And what many claim to the most beautiful
road in the world (Highway 1 along the coast). And lots of wildlife. The list can go on and on pretty much forever. A
compelling evidence of the beauty of California is that every single picture on this website is taken by me during a cumulated
time of two months (even though I´ve been in California for almost two years). And I´m not even close of being a
photographer (although I enjoy taking pictures).
And there are no problems with practicalities when visiting California: Lodging is easy to find, whether its camping,
motels or exclusive lodges. And there is usually plenty of room everywhere, except for the most obvious tourist traps
or the major weekends. So you are not likely to regret a vacation in the Golden State. And you´ll definitively come
home with some excellent pictures as wonderful memories.
