Who doesn’t love summer? With schools out, you probably have fond memories from your childhood of free, playful days. The warm and sunny weather energizes and motivates people to travel, making it the busiest travel season. While many people immediately think of the beach when they think of summer, you have numerous options beyond the beach for your weekend getaway in California. Amusement parks, hiking and biking trails, floating or rafting down rivers, and even safaris are worthy adventures for your summer getaway.
