One of the best experiences known to mankind is to drive your motorhome down the Pacific Coast Highway, stopping in each little town you come to. Each area has something special to offer, if nothing more than warm sand and a great view of the Pacific Ocean. Watch the sunset from the beach, and see if you can spot the famous "green flash" as the sun sets over the watery horizon. From San Diego to Crescent City, and everything in between, there is a host of oceanic wonder in store for the RV traveler.

While being by the sea is one of the greatest charms of California, there is also a world of exploration more inland that will surely please your traveling palate. The Inland Empire, as it's affectionately known, offers a wide variety of intriguing cities and small towns. There are low-lying regions of communities, both mountainous and urban sprawl. Head to Top of the Notch Restaurant in Mt. Baldy for some amazing panoramic views. Stay in one of the many Idyllwild RV parks, or visit Oak Glen for some delicious apple pie and cider. Join in on the vast number of outdoor activities available in Big Bear, where you'll find fishing, boating, snow skiing, camping, hiking and more.

There are many things that are created in the Golden State, but the delightful memories of your family adventures are the most precious of them all.
