Looking to plan an adventure-packed trip on the open road? Start your planning process by ordering a free copy of the 2023 California Road Trips guide. This information-packed publication features 13 inspired itineraries that showcase the abundance and variety in the Golden State.
Adorning this year’s cover—next to a striking vintage Ford Bronco, no less—is former NBA champion, family man, and winery owner Dwyane Wade. In an exclusive interview, the 13-time NBA All-Star discusses life postretirement, relocating to SoCal, and what inspired him to create his Napa Valley winery, Wade Cellars. Wade also takes the California Questionnaire, answering questions about his greatest California love, go-to splurge, and favorite road-trip destinations.
The 60-page magazine also features a fantastic lineup of dynamic and geographically diverse road-trip loops—each starting at a different California airport. “Cactus and Cocktails” takes readers through the vast and varied California desert, from craft cocktails in Palm Springs to thickets of cholla cactus in Joshua Tree National Park. Fans of ocean views will find endless opportunities for sunset snaps in the “Central Coast Cruise.”
Hikers, bikers, and everyone in between can take in the granite cliffs and skyscraper-like trees of Yosemite and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park with “National Park Adventures.” For a touch of the unexpected, “Innovation and Agricultural Bounty” showcases 238 miles of unique museums and outdoor activities spanning San Jose to Gilroy. Plus, discover where superstar director Francis Ford Coppola, comedian Margaret Cho, actress Zoey Deutch, and other A-listers are roadtripping in the Golden State.
The free 2023 California Road Trips guide is now available at VisitCalifornia.com/travel-guides and at California Welcome Centers. The publication will also be distributed in summer issues of Travel + Leisure, Better Homes & Gardens, Real Simple, and Food & Wine magazines.
