If you're looking to go to the Phoenix area; Mill St(college night life) near ASU is fun, you also have Old Town Scottsdale. Both places have tons of bars and scottsdale mall is a huge place to shop.

And if you like to Golf, Scottsdale is the place to be! Beautiful Courses everywhere.

You also have other placesin Norcal like Mammoth Mountain and Lake Tahoe. Also Big Bear Lake is fun in the summer-go out on boats/fishing, etc.

I think I'm going camping in Yosemite this summer.


Sky diving in Temecula.

Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo area. You can rent ATV's on the beach, take the Hummer tour of the dunes, go see Hearst Castle and there's always wine tasting throughout the Paso Robles area. There's a lot good restaurants and great little places to stay.

Only 4 hours North of the L.A. area, 4 hours South of the S.F. area.

Pismo Beach is awesome. I went a looooong time ago and wanna go again. Memories I'll never forget, bustin it up on the ATV's, even though within 30 seconds I didn't pay attention and hit a port-a-potty. Took another 15 mins for friends to realize I wasn't with em and came back to help me start up the damn, thing, haha.

I'm glad you weren't hurt, but that's hilarious.

It's funny, the dunes are right down the street and I never go. It's such a tourist stop we just stay away. Kind of sad, really, I guess it's like anything that you have always had access too, you just take for granted it's always there.

....^....110% This is the very best we have the greatest coast line in the world. Making this trip you'll be able to enjoy a small amount
since the rest is above San Fran. Make sure you stay on Hwy 1 when ever possible!
