California, Here We Come
and why not?
Ask almost anybody to name his or her favorite vacation spot and, chances are, the answer will be either California or Florida.
There are a number of excellent reasons for that. Year-round good weather, an ample supply of outstanding accommodations and excellent restaurants, and countless attractions entice and entrance visitors of all ages. California has some marvelous beaches, offering swimming, surfing, waterskiing, boating, hiking, biking, camping and horseback riding. It has outstanding saltwater and freshwater fishing. History buffs are also drawn by interesting Indian villages to explore, plus 21 historic Spanish missions that were built while our Colonial forefathers were still battling for their independence from the British crown.
Planet earth supports eight major ecological communities
or biomes, scientists tell us. Five of them can be found in California.
The North American continent has four separate desert regions. Three – the Sonoran Desert, the Mojave Desert and a small piece of the Great Basin Desert – are in California.
And California encompasses no fewer than eight magnificent national parks: the Channel Islands, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Kings Canyon, Lassen Volcanic, Redwood, Sequoia and Yosemite.
When you travel to southern California, you can take a daytrip to an exotic foreign country – Mexico.
If you are here in the summer and the heat becomes too oppressive, you can retreat to the cool comfort of the mountains.
In the winter, you can ski those same mountains, go ice skating or snowboarding, or you can stay at the lower elevations where it's warm and explore the California deserts. You can easily do both on the same day!
We love southern California. It has an appeal distinctly its own. Let us show you what we mean…
History
For centuries, the residents of America's West Coast were effectively screened from their Eastern neighbors by the majestic, but almost insurmountable Rocky Mountains. Unique Native American cultures evolved, influenced more by migrating tribes from Alaska and Canada to the north than by the Iroquois, Chippewa, Apache, Comanche and other Indian cultures that flourished along America's East Coast and throughout the vast central plains.
Gabrielino Indians inhabited most of the region which is present-day Los Angeles. The Chumash were found along the Pacific coast between Los Angeles and San Simeon to the north. The Yokuts, Tubaculabah, Kawaisu, Kitanemuk, Tatviam and Serrano occupied California's fertile Central Valley.
Southward from Los Angeles to San Diego, along the Pacific Ocean, could be found the Juaneño and the Luiseño. Around San Diego Bay lived the Ipai and the Tipai. Between San Diego and the Colorado River there were bands of Cahulla, Cupeño and Tipai. Along with the Yuma, the Tipai also inhabited the rich Imperial Valley and the region that parallels what we now recognize as the Mexican border. The Mojave, the Halchidhoma and the Yuma once lived where the Colorado River separates California from its neighboring state of Arizona, while in the pitiless desert to the north and west were the Chemehuevi, the Mojave
