The perfect West Coast trip is a must. After visiting La Jolla in San Diego, Los Angeles, Joshua Tree National Park, Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and Lake Tahoe, drive the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu, San Luis Obispo, Big Sur, Monterey, and the state's stunning 17-Mile Drive. There's no better California view, and SoCal has things to like. At East Joshua Tree National Park, two deserts merge. This desert includes unique vegetation and more.

The best hikes, wildlife, and sunsets are here. On the west shore is La Jolla. The beach getaway borough of San Diego provides more than amazing beaches.

Driving north on the Pacific Coast Highway, the nation's most gorgeous route, you'll pass Malibu, a surfers' paradise, and other beautiful beaches. PCH is famed for its sun and surf.

After enjoying fresh seafood at Neptune's Net, cruise to quirky San Luis Obispo along magnificent coastline and wildflower-filled hills with the windows down. Shop in Monterey after Big Sur's splendor and peace. In northern California, opposites attract.

East Lake Tahoe is quiet. Relax on the lake, tour Viking dwellings, and learn about its history. Silicon Valley, in the West, produces world-changing tech from top minds. Drive around this brainy powerhouse to see where fascinating new things come from.

Visit San Francisco Bay to see one of the nation's oddest and most fascinating cities.
