The Rough Guide to California

A nation within a nation, California is a business and pleasure powerhouse that contains within its vast borders both the surreal madness of LA and the remote and magical desert and mountain backcountry of the high Sierras. From the Mexican border to the big trees of northern California, the Rough Guide covers the state in loving detail, offering budget lodgings in San Francisco, luxury in Palm Springs, hiking in Yosemite and easy living in San Diego. For pre-departure inspiration, check out the authors' full-colour "things not to miss" section. Show More Show Less
