California is the third largest state in the USA covering 158,693 square miles, with a coastline og more than 1,264 miles long. California boasts a staggering total of 4.1 million acres of National Parks, so natural attractions are a plenty. So too are the favourites of California including Disneyland and Universal Studios. The state goes down to the Mexican border and so a quick trip to Mexico is not out of the question.
