California conjures images of surfing Malibu, golfing at Pebble Beach or Palm Springs, hiking through redwood forests, skiing at Tahoe. They're all here. But don't forget hooking a rockfish off Half Moon Bay, running the rapids in the Gold Country, steering a sailboard in the breezes of San Diego, pitching a tent overlooking 7,000-foot-high Big Bear Lake and so much more. This web site has special recommendations from locals for getting the most out of your California outdoors adventure.
