Looking for an escape from city life in SoCal? Head up to the San Bernardino Forest for some fresh air and gorgeous mountain scenery. This is a popular spot in the summer since it is much cooler high up in the mountains than the hot desert air below. As you drive through the forest, there are lots of overlooks and roads to turn down and explore. Despite the desert landscape below, up in the mountains you'll find tons of trees and greenery. You probably won't have much cell se

One of the first things I did when I got to California is visit the Salton Sea. Located on the San Andreas fault in SoCal, this shallow saltine lake is a popular attraction in the Cali desert. It is surrounded by farm lands in the Imperial Valley, some forests in the west, as well a vast desert landscape.

But when that sun drops, it gets desert cold...a cold unlike one I've ever felt before 😂 Plan your trip around the seaso

One of my favorite songs growing up was Phantom Planet's "California." I never thought that one day I would be driving down the 101, just like the song goes. We took Route 101 all the way into California to see the Redwoods. It was such a beautiful drive. The water is a gorgeous blue color and the mountains are stunning. The Oregon coast is full of life and adventure. Depending on the time of year, you can plan on whale watching at Depot Bay, starting in late March to watch t
