Introduction to California
California occupies a unique place in the world's imagination. It is a surfing, free-loving paradise; it is smog and the shallow gloss of the Hollywood pop-culture machine; it is the waterfalls of Yosemite and deserts of Death Valley; it is the rugged sophistication of San Francisco and Napa. In truth California is all of these things (it's a pretty big state) and a must-see for any traveler. Whether you want to party like a rockstar, scale Half-Dome like a rockclimber, sip wine like a sophisticate, or simply relax in the sun, California will not disappoint. As the western frontier of the United States, the one thing California is a little short on is history. The state has long been home to cultural mavericks and California's forward-looking exuberance comes with a short attention span; there is a premium on the young and fresh. You won't find ancient historical monuments but you will find ancient Sequoias.
