California's Absolute Essentials

California’s landscape spans from the granite cliffs of Yosemite Valley and the towering giant sequoias of the Sierra Nevada to the arid salt flats of Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America. Urban landmarks include San Francisco’s historic cable car system and the former federal prison on Alcatraz Island. Southern California features the cinematic history of the Hollywood Sign and Warner Brothers Studio, alongside the Roman-inspired architecture of the Getty Villa and the coastal scenery of McWay Falls in Big Sur.
