California packs in a cluster of gems; Yosemite National Park, Napa Valley, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Fisherman’s Wharf, the Hearst Castle, Disneyland, the Griffith Observatory, or the Hollywood Sign. While an image of the latter is iconic to the state of California, of late, it is growing popular with adventure lovers.
KICK-STARTING THE ADVENTURE
Rannvijay 's tale of adventure began with The Strand (the Marvin Braude Bike Trail), a scenic 22 mile route which follows the shores of Santa Monica Bay, allowing a rider a glimpse of the best beaches of California. With the azure coastline and inviting beaches, a surfing lesson to conquer the waves is a must. A lesson with Poseidon Paddle & Surf is perfect to get acquainted with the wonders of the sport. Fear takes a backseat for fun as you fly and perform a number of aerial arts apparatuses at Trapeze School Santa Monica.
BIG BEAR: A MULTI-FACETED HAVEN
The world-class skiing and snowboarding in Big Bear Mountain Resort in the heart of Southern California, was next on the list. A paradise for winter sports enthusiasts, the 240 acres Snow Summit boasts of more than 18 skiable miles, over 31 trails suited for a variety of skill level and a lift system of 14 lifts. While at Big Bear, the hundreds of miles of jeep trails are perfect to enjoy a rugged road adventure to explore the terrain.

NEED FOR SPEED

After all the adventure, he enjoyed some time at leisure at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Titled as the world fs largest rotating tram car, it travels over twoand-a-half miles along the breathtaking cliffs of Chino Canyon.
EXPLORING THE UNDERWATER WORLD
Rannvijay bid adieu to Palm Springs to reach San Diego making a pit stop at Ballastpoint Miramar, to sample beers at the second largest brewery in San Diego. The next day he greeted the sea lions, leopard sharks, seals, cormorants, pelicans, along a sea kayaking and snorkeling adventure at La Jolla Cove and Sea Caves, which is rated as one of the top 10 snorkeling spots in the world. The next day was reserved to relish the highlight of the trip; the hike along 300-foot cliffs that hover over Black fs Beach Trail and Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve.
