I've lived in Southern California for 40 years and haven't come close to seeing everything this state has to offer. Many would say it has the most natural beauty of any state, it certainly has the most variety. You have to head north out of LA to start seeing the natural beauty. Of course, the local mountains around LA have some beautiful nature too. North of San Francisco is like a different state and has tremendous beauty. Others have listed some of the unique sites to see like the giant Sequoia trees. Even Death Valley in the winter has spectacular scenery. Californians visit in the winter, but German tourists seem to love to go there in the summer when it's 120 degrees or more! So I hope you come back to visit us many more times because there's enough to do and see to keep you busy for weeks, if not months.

The state is quite large in area too. For example Italy is 301,000 sq. km. and California is 423,000 sq. km. Plenty of room left over for nature.

You are definitely lucky that you got to visit Southern California when you did!! We have had the most annual rain we’ve ever had in like literal decades lol This past winter it was raining NONSTOP. It got a little annoying (cause we’re spoiled and used to it barely raining throughout the year), but it will ultimately be good to help prevent wild fires that come in the fall. Plus it makes everything (i.e the landscape) so beautiful! I’ve never seen it so green here before. Usually the landscape is so bland, brown and with half-dead shrubs everywhere, so you came at the perfect time. ❤ And yes California’s geography is so diverse (its people as well). San Diegians live in the most perfect spot. I can literally walk three minutes west and walk on the beach, drive two hours east and go to the desert, or drive two hours northeast and go to the mountains. During winter there’s snow on the mountains as well so I don’t even need to leave California to experience snow. It’s great!

I live a block from the beach in San Diego and can be on the beach til noon, take an hour drive to the mountains covered in snow, have fun in the snow, have a good meal in a quaint mountain eatery, stop for some of the best homemade pies ever made before heading out of town and arriving home before the sun sets. If I continued east a bit towards AZ I can be in the sand dunes which is a heckn of a fun time. Head north instead, an area of wineries. I can be in a couple ski resorts in a few hours, drive a few more and I can be in the Mohave Desert, Yosemite. On the coast I can be on Hwy 101 with it's spectacular scenery. It's so glorious and it's just a small fraction of the natural beauty of the state. The majority of the state is unpopulated. California also has the largest number of National Parks (9) in the contiguous U.S (the lower 48 states).

Good Mexican food and a margarita is always a great highlight of any day! As others have noted, California has an amazing diversity of scenery and terrain... sandy deserts, snow capped mountains, rolling green hills, amazing beaches, some of the most spectacular trees, and during the time of year you picked to visit, there's often an abundance of wildflowers blooming to add even more beauty to the scenery. I noticed that on your drive up I-15 to Pasadena you got to see some of the "superbloom" of poppies on the hills along the way. I often say that if you drive like the typical crazy Californian, you can ride a dirt bike or dune buggy in the dunes in the morning, have lunch by a mountain lake, and enjoy a sunset with a margarita at the beach. There are several fun things to see and do in Pasadena and much of the surrounding area. I hope to see a few more of my favorites turn up in your upcoming videos!

I loved you in your brown hat and sunglasses' and pretty shirt 😍. The market had SO MANY colorful thngs, like the rugs and throws and movie posters (I saw Marilyn Monroe)! I wish you could have gotten that beautiful guitar-like instrument Marie ❗It was so fun seeing you love that RUSH record (I have a record player and tons of old records here - love them all - memories ❤). There were so many stuffed animals and decorations, dinosaurs, just a little of everything ☺, and nothing can make your video more wonderful than seeing you SO HAPPY and jumping and dancing and bouncing around having fun with the famous and beautiful Marie Smile 🥰❤!! There were antiques, sports card collections, giant sunflowers, a cool elephant bag, dolls, shoes, just everything 😍. And naturally you found such cute dogs (the bull dog loved you) before you left. I loved the train you were moving along with afterwards heading to Old Town State Historical Park (you made a pretty high jump in there - impressive 😲🤗! Again we saw so many colors (that girl's face next to the octopus), and also a handsome old mission building, and cool tour bus, before you went to Cafe Coyote (cool name!!) with its pretty tiles! P.S. We had a coyote looking our homes over yesterday behind us near the woods 😲. First off, those were big, colorful Coyote Fruit Margaritas (unbelievable fruit combination including pomegranates (a favorite fruit from my childhood!). And then the delicious Chimichanga and Chicken Enchilada Plates - yummm 😋😋! Those old cars, red and green, were so cool, and then the blue/black motorcycle - nice!! There were all sorts of shops with Cippity Dots, Pretzels, colorful masks and twisting objects, a pink skull, pottery and bracelets, cartoon characters from the Nightmare Before Christmas movie, and even more skulls 💀💀. The Whaley House and Old West Wagon were cool, and we see ony 650 people there in 1850! I saw the dual flags (US/Mexico) before you pranced through the archways from those cacti blossoms 🤗 and passed the Cosmopolitan Hotel - wow! There were nice cacti plants, and then Barra Barra and the Fiesta De Reyes. You caught 3 red cars in one picture too 💕, before the IM SPY C license plate, and all those bicyclists too ❗ I loved the huge sandy beach and seeing you play and chase those birds (with that playful smile ☺. I recognize road names from my visits to my sister and mom out there, and my sister lived in Riverside for awhile. I adored all the green hills and mountains and the huge field of orange and green (brings back memories), and the ❤N TRVL license! Then you finished with the tunnel and night time driving - lovely day Marie 😍. I agree with you about the fun uniqueness of the markets, with fun things we don't need, lol. I'm sorry about your sunscreen and eye mess, and I hope your eyes did not hurt you! I also loved the clarity of the RUSH sound from somewhere, Old Town, and the lovely colors of spring time (AND the very nice Caifornia weather!). We visited my sister's in-laws in Pasadena and saw the Rose Bowl there (I am anxious to see what you did there ⁉). Sorry about the horrible weather on your initial drive from Phoenix to SD - wow!! And I also was stunned by the take-offs and landings of planes right overhead (SD airport is known as very challenging by pilots) 😲😲. What is that "Secret Lab" behind you 😂?

Southern California is one of the best regions in the country. I’m from the Seattle area and am biased for my own area, but Cali def has great stufff

That sunshine every day that you mentioned is not necessarily the case for much of California. Definitely for *Southern* California of course! I do hope you make it to NorCa to see how the other California lives :)

San Diego! I live a mile away from Sports Arena Boulevard. It's so nice to see my home from an outsider point of view.

You chose some fun places to visit. I like Kobey’s Swap Meet. I used to go there every week when I worked nearby. Coyote Cafe is good too.

Loved the San Diego video! I'm just seeing it (June 2024), unfortunately, but it looks like you had a great time. I love SD and have visited many times over the last 20 years. I live in Los Angeles but am moving to Las Vegas next month. Hope I can find and watch your Pasadena video. I have been following (on and off, I confess) your channel since you had your first experience discovering the Carpenters....and learning about the wonderful voice (but tragic life) of Karen Carpenter. Safe travels!

Talking about California being so green: The moisture-laden winds flowing from west to east are forced to rise by the long mountain ranges along the eastern side of CA. This causes much more rain than normal which creates the climate and healthy vegetation. For the same reason the land to the east of those same mountains is desert because the winds are now dry blowing east. This rainfall as the clouds rise is called "orographic" rain.

Living in San Diego for so many years, I've been able to go surfing in the morning, snow sledding in the afternoon, and gotten back to the beach in time to throw snowballs at my friends before paddling back out to surf as the sun sets.
