CALIFORNIA is an incredibly diverse state. Sure, you can surf and swim in California, but you can also hike through dense forests, climb tall mountains, and even ski or snowboard. This alone makes it a great place for a road trip. The state is so big and diverse that you’ll never run out of new things to learn or explore!

California is kind of like an entire world in one state. There are balmy beaches and frozen glaciers and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. You can be in the desert or in a lush forest or by the lake. Regardless of your ideal climate, California can keep up with what you’re looking for. And here’s a little fun fact, The Palisade Glacier in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is the southernmost glacier in the United States.

The third largest state in America (Alaska is the largest, and Texas is the second largest). Its 163,696 square miles is about 1.7 times bigger than the United Kingdom! Although the third largest in land area, California is the most populous state in the United States, boasting a population of almost 40 million, a population larger than the entire country of Canada. At any rate, if you’re looking for a state like no other in the United States—Eureka, you’ve found it!
