Go west and you’ll be treated to some of the world’s most exciting seaside cities with San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles all unforgettable. If you prefer your wild experiences to be more inclined to nature, California also has some of America’s favourite national parks, including the giant sequoias and waterfalls of Yosemite and the surreal Colorado Desert rock formations of Joshua Tree.
