California Travel and Tourism Commission If beaches are your desire, Southern California is your oyster. Pacific Beach, La Jolla, Del Mar, Laguna, Huntington, Hermosa, Malibu—the collection of first-rate beaches is ridiculously long. You could spend a lifetime exploring Southern California’s coast— many have—and still fall short. Any list overlooks dozens of gems, so keep this in mind as you travel north from San Diego’s beaches to L.A.’s. Trip time: 5-6 days Day One Start just north of San Diego in Mission Beach. From the Catamaran, you can spot Sea World across the bay. Day Two To fuel up for your day, don’t miss breakfast at Pacific Beach’s Café 976, which serves everything from homemade scones to hefty breakfast burritos, in a foliage-shrouded 1920s clapboard house. After breakfast walk sunny PB’s (Pacific Beach’s) raucous oceanfront strand, with its great people watching, from jugglers to preening hard bodies. Day Three Book a room at Laguna Beach's Montage Resort & Spa. Day Four Poke around in downtown Laguna Beach.

STAPLES Center Arizona Directions - Grand Canyon National Park The mile-deep Colorado River creates a barrier that splits the park into north and south Rims. In this illustration, the North Rim is shown in yellow and the South Rim is shown in blue. Why is the park separated into South and North Rims? A 277 mile long (446 km) canyon separates the park into South and North Rims. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River is a mile-deep, (1.6 km) and creates a barrier that bisects the park. Scenery, climate and vegetation are noticably different between north and south rims because of differences in elevation. Inside Pixar What an amazing place to work. Makes me which I had some sort of marketable talent.

Home Colorado Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona The South Rim of Arizona's Grand Canyon is expensive and overcrowded, and there is usually a shortage of parking and accommodation, but that of course doesn't matter as the canyon is the most famous natural attraction in the USA and possibly in the world. No-one forgets their first sight of the Grand Canyon and it will never fail to impress or offer something new, no matter how often it is visited. Ninety percent of tourists see only the south rim of the Grand Canyon, since it is easily accessible and the main road (AZ 64) parallels the canyon edge for some distance (see map) - here there is every conceivable facility, many superb overlooks and a choice of hiking trails. The north rim, 215 miles away by road, is much more remote and high enough in elevation to be closed during the winter months by snow, but fewer people mean more peace and tranquility and the views are just as good.
