Looking for your next vacation destination? Fun, adventure, beauty, and history await you in California. One of the best national parks and 4 beautiful coastal destinations in the Golden State are worthy of a visit.


Yosemite National Park

“Not just a great valley, but a shrine to human foresight, the strength of granite, the power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra.

First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more.”

Visiting Yosemite? Stay at Ahwahnee

“The Ahwahnee Hotel is the standard in luxury for Yosemite National Park lodging. Enjoy fine dining and a handcrafted cocktail under the tall log archways of the Grand Dining Room where views of Half Dome, Glacier Point, and Yosemite Falls will take your breath away. This regal "masterpiece of architecture" with thoughtfully curated rooms, suites, and cottages is one of the most popular hotels in the park.”

Carmel by the Sea

“For many of us, our minds are constantly on overdrive. The natural beauty in Carmel, combined with mindfulness practices, can help tame our minds and let us get in touch with our experience in the present moment.”

The city’s topography is unique to other California coastal cities with its seven miles of coves and beaches where visitors can explore sea caves, tide pools, ocean side bluffs, natural tide pools and of course, sandy beaches, all within city limits. Laguna Beach also boasts the most beachfront lodging options in all of California, making it an ideal spot for a beach getaway.”
