California might just be paradise. Not just beaches-and-palm-tree paradise—from the ski slopes of Lake Tahoe to Napa’s rolling vineyards, the crashing waterfalls of Yosemite to the gingerbread Victorians of San Francisco, California is everything it’s cracked up to be. America’s most populous state is a bubbling cauldron of cultures, ethnicities and lifestyles, overflowing with new ideas and cultural trends that consistently put it on the cutting-edge. Home to world-class restaurants, renowned wines and a cuisine all its own, California allows visitors to feast on its fruits of temperate climate. Urbanites relish in Los Angeles nightlife while nature-lovers hike amid old-growth redwoods. The young-at-heart storm Disneyland, the thrill-seeking surf, the star-struck put their palms in cement and the beautiful get bronzed. And millions come to experience it all.
