Spring might be the Goldilocks of travel seasons. Not too cold, not too hot, just right. It’s also the season of rebirth when everything comes alive again after a dormant winter. It’s a great time to renew your love of the outdoors while avoiding the summer crowds and peak season costs.
In California, the best spring getaways involve wildflowers, waterfalls, beaches, and even snow. It’s a great way to come out of hibernation.
