Over the years I have been collecting my experiences here, both the good and the bad, to chronicle the great state of California and what it has to offer everyone who visits, as well as all of the people who have never realized something cool was right outside of their backdoor. So this post is a great jumping off point, it is my list of favorite things in California. I apologize in advance for the fact that so much of it is Southern California based but I will get more Northern posts as the blog progresses. Check back often as I plan to update it regularly as I explore more.

The Perito Moreno Glacier near Calafate Just far enough from the bounds of civilization and urban dwelling, veiled by towering mountains and an expansive lake, the Perito Moreno Glacier epitomizes the natural beauty and splendor of Argentina. Unique in a variety of facets, including its size, scientific significance, and accessibility, the glacier is an essential stop for any traveler to the region. Visitors spend hours exploring its wonders and taking in its breathtaking vistas, barely believing their eyes as they gaze upon the picturesque sight which lies before them. At first sight, you will be taken aback by the sheer magnitude of Perito Moreno, one of the largest glaciers in both Glaciers National Park and South America.

Its walls tower over two-hundred vertical feet (forty meters) from the ground, where the ice meets the Lago Argentino, or Lake Argentina. The most notable feature about the Perito Moreno Glacier is its dynamic and ever-changing facade. Vacation Argentina. Top 100 Trails | Best Trails in North America.
