San Francisco
Acclaimed
as one of the world's most beautiful bridges, there are many
different elements to the Golden Gate Bridge which make it unique.
With its tremendous towers, sweeping cables and great span, the
Bridge is a sensory beauty featuring color, sound and light.
San Francisco is a unique and breathtaking City. Built on a series of hills that offer memorable views of the San Francisco Bay and Pacific Ocean, the City offers visitors much more than the great Golden Gate Bridge. Besides featuring renowned museums and art galleries, almost every neighborhood is a treasure of its own including a variety of restaurants and shops that reflect the City's great ethnic and cultural diversity.
Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is the largest, most beautiful and pristine alpine lake in North America. The California/Nevada state line runs vertically through the middle of the Lake. The City of South Lake Tahoe is in California, while the Tahoe Township of Douglas County, Nevada is just across the state line. Together, they comprise the community of Lake Tahoe, South Shore, with a combined population of about 40,000.
Yosemite National Park
Sprayed
by thousand-foot waterfalls and framed by monumental granite
spires - including Half Dome - it is the most famous glacially
carved landscape in the world.
