Answer 1

Which part? California is a huge state.

Well, lets start with where I am from:

Central Valley - flat, endless patchwork of fields, orchards, and vineyards framed by mountains on either side. Green in the winter, with occasional storms. Golden in the summer, prone to fires. There is a bright white haze in the morning, which turns brown in the afternoon, and red in the evening.

To the east of the central valley lies the Sierra Nevadas: Foothills strewn with boulders, scrub brush, and oak trees rise into mountains well known for being beautiful (ala yosemite). Google toulome meadows or glacier point.

To the west is the central coast and bay area. The central coast, around Pismo, is a shoreline of cliffs and beaches with cold seawater. Large hills separate the coast from the inland, which more or less resembles the central valley. Its foggy in the mornings and mild in the afternoons.

The bay area wraps around the San Fran bay. There is quite a bit of sprawl. For the most part, its like the central coast.

Southern California hosts the Mojave desert and a couple large cities

The mojave desert is one of the hottest places around. Sandy, Rocky, Hilly, Joshua Tree covered. Roads that travel for miles with nary a town nor person in sight.

I don't like L.A., but apparently some parts have nice beaches... with warm water.

I don't get up to NorCal often. As I remember it, it resembles the foothills, except that it will actually snow some times.

Answer 2

California is diverse: Mt Whitney is the highest point in the 48 lower states (over 14,400 ft) and is a 60 minute drive from drive from Death Valley (more than 300 ft below sea level) which is the lowest place in North America.

The Eastern boarder is largely mountainous and includes Yosemite Valley which is one of the world's great scenic wonders. The Central valley runs for hundreds of miles and is mostly farmland with many rivers which flow from the mountains.

The Northern half of the state is forested and rugged with a smaller population density than Central and Southern CA.. The Southern third of the state is dominated by the Mojave Desert and much of that is irrigated farmland.

The coastal region has it's own mountains which are beautifully forested but not as high as the Sierra Nevadas which form the boarder with Nevada. California has more variety of plant and animal life and is more diverse geographically than any other state. One can drive from an arctic climate to hot desert in a few hours.

Answer 3

I'm glad you asked this question, I am a native Californian.

California has it all. Beautiful beaches, the breathtaking Highway 1 coastline from San Simeon to Big Sur, with forests that go right down to the surfline; deserts like Death Valley, the lowest spot in the United States; semi-tropical palm trees, etc, proliferating from the Los Angeles area down to the Mexican border. Don't forget the fertile interior San Joaquin Valley- the "salad bowl" of the US. I live in an oak forest, some of the trees are hundreds of years old. Bracken ferns are year-round near natural springs.

In the springtime, sometimes entire hills are covered with wildflowers: purple lupine, California poppies and Sunbursts, yellow mustard, baby blue eyes, pink clover.

California is about diversity. In it's natural landscapes, in it's people.
