It's like any other 800-mile long state with deserts, forests, mountains, and a shoreline. Really, the state is too vast for a simple article, but I will attempt to point out some highlights. The valleys of the interior- Imperial, San Joaquin, and Salinas- are the most productive farmland in the US, sometimes generating two or even three harvests a year depending upon the crop. The state has several of the nation's largest cities, and some towns so small that if you blink when driving through, you'll miss them. It contains the lowest point in the US, Death Valley (282 feet BELOW sea level) and some mountains over 10,000 feet high. Yes, the higher elevations get snow, sometimes even in the summer months. If you want to live where the people and jobs are, the state can be a VERY expensive place in which to live. Housing costs and taxes are the two biggest culprits. Here's an interesting fact; The state is set to begin construction on a high-speed passenger train line sometime this year which, if completed as promised, will link Los Angeles and San Francisco. Of course, this being a government project, people should expect delays and escalating costs. It's estimated that the first 20-mile stretch will cost nearly 1 BILLION dollars. A problem with California right now is that it has the country's second-highest unemployment rate, so don't move there unless you have a high-demand skill or two. Most medical or computer-related jobs should be okay.

Traditionally the elevations of cities are judged by the elevation of City Hall, which, in this case, is 60 Feet
