California is the most populous and third largest state in the United States. It occupies most of the Pacific coast of the United States.

A trip to Yosemite National Park
Park with the highest vertical rock wall in the world
It is world famous for its magnificent granite rocks, waterfalls, redwood forests. When you say Yosemite Park, the first thing that comes to mind is the Yosemite Valley with El Capitán, the highest rock face in the world, which is over 900 meters high. This national park in California was founded in 1890. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1894. There is also the largest waterfall in the USA, but it is dry in the summer, so it is not recorded in the photo. The best way to move in the park is with the help of Shuttles. continue reading
Riding Through The Valley Of Death
To the lowest place in North America
Just because of its menacing name Death Valley, aka Death Valley, attracts a lot of travelers to visit. In addition to being the lowest and warmest place in North America, it is also conveniently located between the gambling city of Las Vegas in Nevada and the amazing national parks of the Sierra Nevada in California. For these reasons, it is not missing in almost any of the classic circuits in the western United States. Although there are several trekking routes here (eg to the top of Telescope Peak (3,368 m above sea level), thanks to the huge heat that prevails here for most of the year, and long distances, it is rather an ideal place for classic US car tourism. continue reading

Trip to Sequoia and Kings Canyons NP
The biggest of the biggest
We visited this national park in California. What makes it special? It's because there are the largest trees in the world, and it's no coincidence that there is the largest tree in the world named General Sherman. The park was founded in 1890. South of it is King Canyons NP, but today it belongs to one administration. This park was included on the UNESCO list in 1976. It is difficult to describe something that one must see with one's own eyes in order to understand the power of trees. continue reading
Riding in Big Sur
Driving on the most famous coastal road in the USA
The fastest route between San Francisco and Los Angeles is on the inland highway. However, if you have more time and want to enjoy the beautiful coast, take the CA1 road along the famous Big Sur coast. You will see beautiful cliffs, beaches and the famous Bixby Bridge. continue reading
Visit Los Angeles
Downtown, Walk of Fame, Hollywood, Santa Monica Beach
The city of angels is full of experiences and places that every traveler would like to see. Choosing between them, in an often tense vacation schedule, is not easy. Our preference was to walk through the city center – Downtown, the Walk of Fame with the stars, hike up the hills above Hollywood and end the day on the beach in Santa Monica. continue reading
