California has always been home to me. I grew up in the desert near Palm Springs, and traded it for foggy mornings in Monterey Bay while in college. Now, I’ve settled in the Hi-Desert, near Joshua Tree. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to explore so many parts of this incredible state, and this page brings together all my favorite guides to help you plan your own California adventures.
