When to travel to California, the best time to visit the golden state, tips for planning a California vacation.
On the question “why go” to California, I hope you have already answered yourself at the stage of buying a ticket. When to go is just as important as where to go if you are serious about travel.
Summer in California
Most vacationers travel to California during the peak summer months from June to August. Yes, this is the warmest and most comfortable time of the year, but besides the warmth, there are queues for most of the attractions, heavy demand for absolutely everything and high prices. All the delights of the high season.
The trick is that even at the height of summer, get off the beaten path and you will have forests, fields and even beaches where there is only you and the ocean.
The summer season is good for those who love the mountains – at this time of the year, access to all mountain tracks and trails through the Sierra Nevada is open. Summer is also the best time of the year to travel to California’s highest volcanoes, Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak.

Spring in California
Spring, namely the time from March to early May, is one of the most beautiful seasons in California. Of course, it’s still cold in the mountains, but the hills are covered with fresh greenery and wildflowers that please the eye. In the California deserts, wild poppies and other outlandish flowers bloom. For deserts like the Mojave, Joshua Tree National Park or Death Valley, this is the best time of the year. There is no sweltering heat and almost no people. During the spring, hotels offer significant discounts on stays until early June.
Autumn in California
Autumn, from September to November, brings mild weather and spectacular foliage to parts of the state, such as the Sierra Nevada or Yosemite Park. Autumn – the coolest time to visit the wine-growing regions – Napa Valley, for example, in the vicinity San Francisco… The seaside in the north of the state is covered with impressive morning fogs, usually from September to October.
