Whether you're hiking, rock climbing, or simply taking in the views, Yosemite offers an unforgettable experience.
Lake Tahoe
Straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is a year-round destination. In the summer, the crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, boating, and fishing. Come winter, the surrounding mountains transform into a snowy wonderland ideal for skiing and snowboarding. The vibrant towns of South Lake Tahoe and Tahoe City offer plenty of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks
Home to some of the largest trees on Earth, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are a must-visit for anyone traveling through the Sierra Nevada. Walk among the giants in the Giant Forest, where you'll find the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree by volume in the world. Kings Canyon offers equally stunning landscapes, with deep valleys, towering cliffs, and roaring rivers.
Mammoth Lakes
For those who love outdoor activities, Mammoth Lakes is a dream come true. In the summer, the area is perfect for hiking, mountain biking, and fishing. The nearby Mammoth Mountain is a popular destination for skiing and snowboarding in the winter. Don't forget to relax in one of the natural hot springs scattered around the area.
