Exploring the Golden State always delivers excitement and adventure—but these days it also helps our communities get back to work.
So let’s round up the family and head to the beach or visit a national park. Grab some friends, rent a slick ride, and go city hopping. Dine out. Shop local. Spend the night in a fab hotel. Do it up right and do it all in the name of civic pride.
When the time is right, get out and play—it will energize both you and our economy.
Use the resources below to plan a safe, spectacular, responsible trip around California.
