california golden gate bridge California is a Pacific coast state that covers more than 158,000 square miles and is the most populous in the USA.  Less than 100 miles apart, Mount Whitney and Death Valley are the highest and lowest points in the contiguous 48 states.  California is a land of contrasts, from the coastal redwood forests of the north to the densely populated south coastal region.  The Coast Range runs down the western side of the state, the Sierra Nevada Range runs down the east side, and the Central Valley is a fertile agricultural area.  In north central California lies the Napa Valley, famed for its wineries.  The capital of California is Sacramento; other leading cities include Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego.

Sacramento is an agricultural and transportation center which has experienced much population growth in the last few decades.  The downtown area is somewhat lacking in entertainment facilities, but there is an attractively restored historic riverfront area.  Traffic and smog are constant, but the Sacramento area also provides a broad range of recreational opportunities and enjoys close proximity to San Francisco and Lake Tahoe.

Los Angeles is a huge metropolitan area, extending west from the Pacific beaches at Santa Monica north into the San Fernando Valley, east toward San Bernardino, and south to the busy port of Long Beach.  The city is made up of many socioeconomically diverse neighborhood cores, and congestion is a very real issue.  The high cost of living, traffic jams and smog contrast with some of the best weather in the world and abundant cultural opportunities and services.

San Francisco is culturally rich, with a strong commercial and financial core.  It is located on a narrow peninsula surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay.  The Golden Gate Bridge is perhaps one of San Francisco's most recognized landmarks.  The famous Fisherman's Wharf, steep winding city roads, and a cable car system make it interesting and diverse, but San Francisco has the highest cost of living in the country and there is fierce competition for high-tech jobs.

San Diego's ocean-moderated climate is hard to beat, and the city provides many parks and recreational opportunities that can be enjoyed year round.  Seaside towns dot the coast from just south of the city all the way north to the Camp Pendleton Marine Base.  Like many California cities, much of the culture is influenced by the large population of Mexican immigrants.  High-tech industry fares well in San Diego, and services and cultural opportunities abound, but population boom has led to urban sprawl and has driven up the cost of living.
