California group trip itineraries
Destinations · 5 itineraries
California packs very different group trips into one state: city weekends in San Francisco, camping in Yosemite and Joshua Tree, summer on Lake Tahoe and the drive down the Pacific Coast Highway.
Best time to go: It depends on the trip: spring and fall for the deserts, summer and early fall for the mountains and the coast.
