Best Of California
San Diego Zoo, San Diego
As humane and "natural" a zoo as you'll find anywhere, with a vast collection of rare species.
Mono Lake
The blue waters of remote Mono Lake are prime bird-watching territory; it's also a spectacle in its own right.
Joshua Tree National Park
The eerie "arms" of Joshua trees beckon visitors to explore this long-abandoned mining country.
Hearst Castle, San Simeon
A million visitors a year now tramp through "Citizen Kane's" opulent unfinished home.
Highway 1
Thrilling drive along the US's west coast, with pounding Pacific surf as far as the eye can see.
Yosemite National Park
Giant sequoias, towering waterfalls, the sheer face of Half Dome - your eyes will hardly get a rest.
The streets of San Francisco
Get the flavor of the Beats in North Beach, flower power in Haight-Ashbury, and gay pride in the Castro.
