Choose one of Central California’s spectacular national parks or simply drive down Highway 1 along the coast to sample some of its astonishing scenery. Iconic landscapes, lively oceanfront towns and big wildlife make this one of California’s most enticing regions. Much of Central California’s history is tied up with the gold rush in the mountains. Visit the ghost town in Bodie State Historic Park to experience what life was like for prospectors in the region. Set out on the hiking trails through breathtaking Yosemite National Park, famed for its soaring peaks and pine forests. Climb to the top of iconic Half Dome and take photos of the panoramic vistas of this spectacular landscape. Gaze upwards at the mighty trees of Sequoia National Park. Some of the plants here are more than 3,000 years old. Pinnacles National Park isn’t as famous as some of Central California’s big hitters, yet it promises fields that come alive in spring with colourful wildflowers. Brave the scorching hot deserts of Death Valley National Park. The second-hottest place on Earth offers curious sights such as the Devil’s Golf Course, a salt pan with jagged saline formations. Travel down the coast for other scenic sights. Big Sur and Channel Islands National Park are both stunning places to hike, boat and drive. Visit the McWay Falls and tranquil Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur or paddle in a kayak around the dramatic coastline. Watch for wildlife in Moss Landing, where you can meet a colony of sea otters. Monterey, a stylish town with an acclaimed aquarium, is one of the best places to see whales. The Central Valley, occupying a large, flat and rural swath down the middle of the state, contains its own charms, including the lively city of Fresno. Stroll through the Forestiere Underground Gardens or cool off from the heat in Island Waterpark. Fly into San Francisco International Airport then travel south to hit the coast or east to visit the Sierra Nevada mountains. Central California often becomes oppressively hot in summer, especially in places such as Death Valley. Visit in spring or fall for milder temperatures in the plains and deserts. ### Where to stay in Central California ![Default Image](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/193000/193591-San-Jose-Museum-Of-Art.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Downtown San Jose 3.5/5(5 area reviews) Known for its fascinating museums and great live music, there's plenty to explore in Downtown San Jose.
