When we decided to date in California, we were thrilled and agreed to explore the entire area.

California is the most populous state of the United States. California is known for its pleasant climate and ethnically diverse population. The tallest living things on Earth, ancient Redwood trees, dot the Northern California coastline. Bristlecone pines located in California's White Mountains are the oldest known trees in the world; one has an age of 4,700 years.

Climate of California

California climate varies from subtropical to subarctic. Most of the state has a Mediterranean climate, with cool, rainy winters and dry summers.
History

California was one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse areas in pre-Columbian North America; the area was inhabited by more than 70 distinct groups of Native Americans. João Rodrigues Cabrilho, in 1542, sailing for the Spanish Crown was the first known European to explore the coast as far north as the Russian River. The English explorer Francis Drake also explored and claimed the California coast in 1579.

Silicon Valley is the center of California's computer industry, just south of San Francisco.

Vineyards are popular in California as both status symbols and sources of fine wine

California is also the home of several significant economic regions such as Hollywood, the California Central Valley (agriculture), Silicon Valley (computers and high tech), and wine producing regions such as Santa Barbara and Northern California's Wine Country.

Transportation of California

California's vast terrain is connected by an extensive system of freeways, expressways, and highways. California is known for its car culture, giving California's cities a reputation for severe traffic congestion. Caltrans builds tall “stack” interchanges with soaring ramps that offer stunning views. The state's most famous highway bridge is the Golden Gate Bridge.

Intercity rail travel is provided by Amtrak. Metrolink commuter rail serves much of Southern California, and BART and Caltrain commuter rail connect Bay Area suburbs to San Francisco. San Jose and Sacramento have light rail, and San Diego has Trolley light rail and Coaster commuter rail services. Nearly all counties operate bus lines, and many cities operate their own bus lines as well. Intercity bus travel is provided by Greyhound and Amtrak bus services.
