My family and I have always enjoyed exploring the great outdoors. Whether we are on short day trips or extended adventures it all amounts to wonderful memories. We love the quote; “Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.” – Anonymous UpStateCA has three resources to help you create your own stories to tell – this visitors guide, UpStateCA.com, and our California Welcome Center located in Anderson, California. Having safe, in-person custom travel advice at our California Welcome Center for those of us who live in UpStateCA and those who plan to visit is a level of customer service that we think is important. The beautiful eight northeastern counties of California are 29,500 square miles of mountains, trails, lakes, streams, and caves near aspects of that wild west vibe which says come as you are. We want to share our barbeque, adventure, local wines, and welcoming culture. “Adventure Awaits. Go find it!”– Anonymous As a reminder, we all need to be the stewards of this pristine landscape. That ensures we all get to enjoy the beauty of nature for generations to come. So, I invite you to take a seat, put your feet up, and enjoy a leisurely stroll through our visitors guide, website, social media or stop in to get more ideas from our tourism specialists. We are the place and have the space to be your 2022 getaway where we hope you can find a little extra slice of health and happiness.
