      Prozkoumejte fascinující rozmanitost Kalifornie na 24 vybraných výletech, které vás zavedou do úchvatných koutů této ikonické destinace. Začněte zasněženými horami a mlhou zahalenými sekvojovými lesy na severu a pokračujte do vyprahlých pouští a sluncem zalitých pláží na jihu. Každá z těchto tras vás zavede do jiného světa, ať už jde o procházky po dramatickém pobřeží okresu Mendocino, výlety do závanů historie v ospalých městečkách z doby zlaté horečky v podhůří Sierra Nevady, nebo návštěvu pulzujících metropolí jako San Diego a San Francisco. Díky vynikající síti silnic a dálnic se můžete snadno vydat na každý z těchto výletů autem, ať už se chystáte projet vinice v Napa Valley, prozkoumat jarní kvetoucí Mohavskou poušť, nebo projet klikaté horské silnice v Yosemitském národním parku. Tyto trasy vás zavedou do mnoha méně známých oblastí Kalifornie a odhalí vám její skryté klenoty, které mnozí turisté nikdy neobjeví. Průvodce vás před cestou důkladně připraví na každý výlet, poskytne užitečné informace o dopravě, ubytování, stravování a dalších praktických záležitostech. Každý výlet je podrobně popsán a provázán s doporučenými atrakcemi a trasami, včetně map a tipů na procházky a další aktivity.
