California is a paradise for those who love being outdoors. Its size and diversity provide a range of activities unmatched in North America, and the temperate climate in most of the state means that many of these activities are available year round.

Each aspect of the state lends itself to activity. The longest coastline in the contigious United States offers beach and watersports galore along with some of the most breathtaking coastal golf courses in the world. The three active volcanoes lend their slopes to up and downhill sports, the deserts to trekking and climbing and the national parks can be viewed from horseback or from the air.
