Way cool! And thank you for sharing this video. I gotta get out more! I'm 73 years old, born and bred of 49er stock, I still didn't know about many of these. Always wanted to see Burney Falls, just never got around to it. Did my rafting mostly on Oregon rivers, but there's still more to see! I gotta get going!

For someone who has never been.. Anything not related to the city I would love to see the beauty of the state.

[@xxxYYZxxx]

Geographic variety is what makes California exceptional. CA has deserts with dry lakes & sand dunes, mountains with colossal snowfalls & glaciers, coastal mountains & a Mediterranean climate along the southern coast, rain forests along the northern coast, extensive wine growing regions, a central valley with enough farms to make a Nebraskan sigh, 9 National Parks, State Parks that rival National Parks, gold in the rivers, oil squirting out of the ground, and of course all those beaches & even a handful of coastal wetlands. I agree the cities are ridiculous, but S.F. would heaven for an urban explorer, and L.A. would be like the matrix.

If you’re going to all of north California, then you’re totally going to have to go to the north. Like Shasta County or modoc. Burney falls is great and I know for a fact that the infamous bridge from the movie, “stand by me,” is near the falls. You have mt shasta, and lake shasta. You are missing out on all the great stuff that the true Northern California has to offer, this is really a special about central California, lets be honest, lol. I’m excited to check out some of them though. If you can’t tell, I’m more familiar with the northern part of the state so I’m going to see the places you just made me aware of! Thanks!

[@davidkingraiders7294]

Cool video. One thing that always drives me crazy is when people think that anything north of LA is considered Northern California. Fresno is NOT Northern California. Inyo County is NOT Northern California. Here's a tip, draw a line from the Golden Gate Bridge to South Lake Tahoe. North of that line is Northern California. Draw another line from Monterey to Mono Lake. Everything between those two lines is a gray area. South of that 2nd line is Southern California.

[@sisqsam]

@@johnbartellshhop Eastern Siskiyou Co. outside Tulelake, visit the Lava Beds National Monument where Captain Jack's stronghold is located. Look it up. Outside Mt. Shasta go to McCloud Falls. In Dunsmuir, go to Mossbrae Falls. Southwest of Yreka is the Salmon River area where you will have a beautiful drive and see one of the most remote rivers in the state and some beautiful back country. There are some awesome one day hikes into some gorgeous Alpine lakes. Others you would need to backpack in and spend a night or more. The drive over to Del Norte beautiful. The Smith River is so clear and beautiful as well as huge Redwoods. If you go from Yreka to Crescent City, you will want to go up to Grants Pass, Or and over on Hwy. 199. Best route. There are Siskiyou Co. visitor guides online. Check them out. I will leave Trinity, Modoc and Del Norte counties for folks with more knowledge.

Not sure where the line is, but the cultural dividing line is definitely farther north than the geographic dividing line. Also, it may be changing. San Francisco definitely felt "northern" 30 years ago, but since the explosion of the tech industry it feels less so.

@@johnbartellshhop Fresno. And if on the coast, probably somewhere North of SLO. You can't really divide Cali that way though. It's actually sub-regions. Norcal is really the Bay Area northward. Socal is really Santa Barbara (coast) Bakersfield (valley) southward. And in between the central coast, central valley, and Sierras are all sub-regions. Even the desert is, in some ways, it's own thing seperate from SoCal. And in other ways very much SoCal.

A bit of info: Glass Beach in Fort Bragg is still full of glass and hazardous if you haven't had a tetanus shot due to the amount of rusty metal. The Sutter Buttes is a state park and fully accessible to anyone who wants to hike rugged terrain. This may include parking outside a locked gate and walking in but this is the place I asked people to take me and other KZbinrs to a few months ago (heads up, we still need a ride) from a few hours away before our trip got cancelled due to Covid. There's way better places to visit in Northern California than most of the places you listed, other than the Sutter Buttes.
