SURF, SAND AND SEX WILL ALWAYS


SELL SOCAL, especially in Hollywood’s


star-studded dreamscapes. The reality won’t


disappoint: the swimsuits are smaller, the


water warmer, summers less foggy.


You’ll find more adventure inland. Turn up the


heat in SoCal’s deserts. Start with the chic


resorts of Palm Springs, then dig deep into


the backcountry beauty of Death Valley and


Joshua Tree, where dusty 4WD roads lead to


ghost towns and hidden springs.


Escape to cool mountain climes around Big


Bear Lake, or to artistic Idyllwild. Then leave


the crowds behind on SoCal’s most iconic


road trips: the Spanish Mission Trail or Route


66, the USA’s much-celebrated ‘Mother Road’.
