Joshua Tree National Park

Looking for the ultimate desert vibes in California? I strongly suggest doing a Day trip to Joshua Tree National Park! Joshua Tree is about a 2 hour drive from LA but feels like a completely different vibe. I recommend driving or renting a car for this trip although you can also get there via Bus or Taxi. During one of my trips to Los Angeles we left about two hours before the sun came up and got there just in time to watch the sunrise!

Catalina Island

Catalina Island is the perfect weekend getaway, girl’s trip or even day trip for a carefree island experience. It feels like an exotic foreign land but no passport is required for this trip! That’s because the island is only 22 miles off the coast of Long Beach and considered part of California.
