There’s Disneyland in Anaheim to satisfy every kid and even the young at heart, and Los Angeles and San Francisco are considered the gateway to the most popular sites in California such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Yosemite and Death Valley National Parks, coastal areas and lakes, and of course, the famous giant sequoia trees.
