California's Best Trips - Southern California

Surf, sand and sex will always sell SoCal, especially in Hollywood’s star-studded dreamscapes. The reality won’t disappoint either: the swimsuits are smaller, the water warmer and summers less foggy here than in NorCal.

- meet Mickey Mouse, then surf the sunbronzed ‘OC’ coast

- dilly-dally through the desert, then zoom past retro icons into LA on Route 66

- discover Old West mining ghost towns, strange geology and inspiring panoramic views
