Known for picturesque scenery and famous cities, California has more national parks than any other state and is arguably the most diverse. Visit this iconic state the EXP way, pushing the boundaries of travel and experiencing the unimaginable.
The Golden State
From towering redwoods and rocky coasts in the north, to eccentric Joshua Trees and wide sandy beaches in the south; with Napa Valley wine country, Yosemite’s Half Dome, the hills of Hollywood and San Francisco’s trolleys between (just to name a few), California offers something for everyone. Travel to California is bound by no season, making it the perfect location for a New Year celebration on the beach or an Independence Day high in the mountains.
