Majestic Redwood forests extend southward from Oregon's border through Mendocino, Marin, San Francisco, the Santa Cruz Mountains, and Big Sur, offering enchanting opportunities to slumber beneath ancient giants in luxurious canvas accommodations or elevated treehouses. Adventure seekers will discover world-class hiking trails, mountain biking routes, surfing destinations, and the renowned Sonoma wine country, all within reach of the Pacific coastline. In Southern California, romantic yurts and upscale glamping accommodations create perfect couple's retreats in Santa Barbara or the Temecula wine valley. The state's most extraordinary glamping experiences are often found in the desert regions, where distinctive geodesic domes, luxury tents, vintage Airstreams, and creatively converted dwellings dot the landscape near Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, and Coachella. Just remember that desert temperatures can soar to extreme heights of 110°F during summer months.
