California Coast
They came by on foot, by wagon train and by ship in the 1800's to reach the shores of California. The beauty that they found was breathtaking. Rugged coastlines with towering redwoods, teaming with wildlife. Today you can visit the North Coast of California from the comfort of your motor coach and follow Highway I as it winds its way down the coast.

Ride into the Past on 19th Century Steam Trains
In the 1880s, steam locomotives were used to haul giant redwood logs out of the mountains. Roaring Camp's steam engines date from 1890 and are amongst the oldest and most authentically preserved narrow-gauge steam engines providing regularly scheduled passenger service in America. Travel over trestles, through towering redwood groves and up a winding narrow-gauge grade to the summit of Bear Mountain as conductors narrate the history of Roaring Camp, the railroad of the forest!

Winchester Mystery House
In 1884, a wealthy widow named Sarah L. Winchester began a construction project which lasted 38 years. The Victorian mansion, designed and built by the Winchester Rifle heiress, is filled with so many unexplained oddities, that it has come to be known as the Winchester Mystery House - an architectural marvel. Unlike most homes of its era, this 160-room Victorian mansion had modern heating and sewer systems, gas lights, working elevators and 47 fireplaces.
