The Wonders of California | Stunning California Spots & Hidden Secrets Few Discover| Travel Video 4K
Welcome to the journey of exploring
California, a land forged by primal forces. [Music] There is a place on this earth where
giant rocks silently drift through the night without trace, without
explanation. That is Death Valley, the hottest desert on the planet
with temperatures of 134° F. from this burning hell. Just drive a few hours
and you will reach Yusede, where the El Capitan Cliff, 3,000 ft high, like a giant fortress,
challenges the bravest climbers in the world. Then from there, the Golden Gate Bridge in
San Francisco appears like a gate leading to another world, connecting to the Malibu coast,
where giant waves swallow the faint-hearted. And then Lake Tahoe with crystalclear
mysterious water deep 1,600 ft deeper than skyscrapers. And Napa Valley where the soil
has magic that turns grapes into liquid gold. But this is just a corner of California. Countless
other wonders await you. In more than one hour ahead, I will take you deep into each story,
each mystery of these magical lands. California, the place where nature hides secrets that
humans have not yet fully understood. [Music] The destination of death. Death Valley.
The hottest place on the planet. temperature can reach 134°. F can kill you in just a few hours.
Is the boundary between wonder and danger. Located between California and Nevada, Death
Valley is not just an ordinary desert. This is the lowest, hottest, and driest place in North
America. A real survival challenge. [Music] Gold miners got lost in this desert. They
had to drink their own urine to survive. Eat dead donkey meat to get through
the days. And when finally escaping, a woman said goodbye. Death Valley. And this
name has existed for more than 170 years. With golden sand dunes interspersed with white
salt flats like a spectacular contrasting painting, Badwater Basin, the most characteristic
area, spreads like a dry salt ocean from millions of years, providing a panoramic view reminiscent
of the surface of the moon with cracked terrain and crystallized salt. Despite the ominous name
Badwater, this place possesses a haunting beauty. Compared to the surface of Mars,
which is hot at a maximum of 120° F, death valley scorches at 134° F. Hotter than
the distant red planet. Standing under this sun, you are enduring temperatures. Harsher
than astronauts on Mars. Hot enough to cook an egg on the sidewalk in 15
minutes. Compared to Phoenix, Arizona, which only reaches 120° F in summer, Death Valley
is hotter than the oven of you at low temperature. [Music] Racetrack player is where rocks weighing
up to 700 lb automatically move, leaving trails hundreds of yards.
Long science only explained this phenomenon in the year 2014 due to thin
melting ice creating super light flows. Uba Heibbe crater, a volcanic crater 500 ft
wide, 250 ft deep, equivalent to standing on the roof of a 20story building and looking down
the explosion when it formed, could be heard from 20 m away. [Music] Summer here can kill you
in 3 hours. If without water, the human body loses water at a terrifying rate of two gallons
per hour, turning you into a living mummy in an instant. The rubber soles of the shoes of you will
start melting like chewing gum under the sundae. [Music] At this point, the humidity in Death Valley
is only 5% drier than when you are in the freezer. The lips of you will crack like parched
earth in less than 30 minutes. And the nose will bleed naturally like when you are at 10,000 ft
altitude. Even the urine of you will change from pale yellow to deep amber in just 1 hour as if
the body is desperately holding on to every last drop of water. To survive here, you need at
least one gallon of water per person per day, four times the normal recommended amount.
[Music] The car of you must have a spare tire because the rough roads can easily blow
a tire. Fuel must always be full because the nearest gas station is 100 m away. No phone signal
within 200 square miles. You are truly completely isolated if the car breaks down. Walking to
seek help is nearly synonymous with death. [Music] Scotty Castle. The castle in the middle
of the desert built from money scamming investors about gold mines. Walter Scott bought
gold from elsewhere sprinkled on the land as proof. Tricked millionaire Johnson to invest
$2 million, equivalent to $30 million today. With this scam money, they built the
luxurious Scotty Castle in the harsh desert. Today, hundreds of thousands of
tourists visit each year. Ironically, he created a real legacy from lies,
turning desert sand into real gold. The road to Telescope Peak is 13 1/2
m long with an elevation difference of 3,200 ft. like climbing three Empire State
buildings stacked on top of each other in harsh desert conditions. This journey
requires 8 to 12 hours of continuous hiking through slippery rocky terrain and
slopes inclined 45°. Many people have to give up midway due to exhaustion or
fear of the terrifying steepness. with an altitude of 11,549 ft. Telescope
peak is higher than many famous mountains in Colorado like Mount Elbert. From
this peak you can see the lowest point Badwater basin and the highest peak of
California, Mount Whitney in the same frame. A unique geological phenomenon
not found anywhere else on Earth. Comment one to let me know you also love and want to come here to explore the mystery
of sliding rocks in Death Valley. Santa Catalina Island, the unique town
where golf carts replace cars. What turns this place into the most
mysterious gem of California? Do you believe that just 22 mi from Los
Angeles, there is an island completely banning cars where the chewing gum tycoon
dared to pour his entire fortune during the Great Depression. Today, I will explore
the strange things behind Santa Catalina. Exactly 22 miles offshore from Los
Angeles Santa Catalina Island appears like a Mediterranean pearl lost in the
Pacific Ocean. Mysterious, alluring, and completely different. When the ferry docks at
Avalon Pastel houses cluster like a classic movie, the strangest thing, no cars, golf carts run
everywhere. Instead [Music] William Wrigley Jr., The Chewing Gum Empire boss made a crazy gamble
in 1,919. Amid the Great Depression, he bought this entire desolate island. Everyone thought
he was mad. But Wrigley turned the island into a resort paradise, built Chicago Cubs baseball
field, created jobs for thousands. [Music] Compared to nearby Santa Cruz Island with hard
to climb pristine cliffs, Catalina stands out with bison herds, the only in California they were
brought for filming in 1,928 and multiplied since. Catalina zipline is the longest line in
California at 60 mph. Through deep canyons, challenging courage and providing adrenaline
rush with spectacular ocean views. For explorers, it will make the heart of you pound racing
through deep canyons with vast Pacific views. Catalina Casino, the 1,929 art
deco masterpiece. Not gambling place but entertainment center with the
world’s largest ballroom at that time. Breakthrough art deco work with the world’s
largest ballroom at the time using advanced earthquake resistant construction techniques and
eco-friendly golf cart transportation system. [Music] If wanting to escape the crazy Los Angeles
life rhythm where golf carts replace cars, go to Catalina Island, take early ferry from Long
Beach, rent a golf cart and cruise around Avalon, where cars give way to pastel
houses and cool blue sea. [Music] What’s the one thing you’d love to experience
most on Santa Catalina Island? A. Cruise around Avalon in a golf cart. B. Try the zipline
at 60 mph. C. Explore the iconic Catalina Casino in art deco style. D. Meet the
island’s one-of-a-kind wild bison herd. Comment A, B, C, or D, and let me know which
Catalina adventure you’re dreaming of most. [Music] Survival in Desert Hell: Secrets to
Surviving When Stranded in Mojave Desert, where death always lurks just a step away. In the heart of the California desert, a
silent world where death and life are just a step apart. Mojave National Preserve spans
over 1,600,000 acres, four times the size of New York City. This is an ecosystem where
life challenges every logic you ever knew. Kelso dunes shift with the wind like waves of
a golden ocean. But do not let this beauty fool you. In the year 2019, a family of four from
Phoenix got lost here and was only found after 3 days when they had drunk all their water and
started drinking their own urine to survive. [Music] Compared to Death Valley, famous for its record
temperature of 134° F that can kill a person in 3 hours, Mojave is relatively cool with a maximum
of 118°. However, do not let this number fool you. This temperature is still enough to grill
meat and evaporate water in the body of you faster than you can replenish.
People call this the American Sahara. What makes Mojave special is the densest
Joshua tree forest on the planet at Sema Dome. The Joshua trees here can be 40 ft tall,
twice as tall as those in nearby Joshua Tree National Park. This difference comes from
the altitude and special soil conditions, creating a magical desert forest that
you cannot find anywhere else on Earth. [Music] Kelso dunes are in the center of Mojave National
Preserve about 35 mi south of Bakertown. These dunes are not just ordinary sand piles. They
sing producing sounds like an Australian digery do when you slide down from the 300 ft peak. This
phenomenon only occurs when the sand has perfect roundness and size. from 1/4 to 1/2 mm. NASA
has studied this to understand sand on Mars. [Music] Hole in the wall is a geological wonder
formed from volcanic tough soft volcanic rock sculpted by wind and water over 20
million years. The result is thousands of small holes piercing the rock mass. Some
holes 10 ft deep and wide enough for an adult to crawl through. This is the artwork that
nature has created over a geological age. Besides these unique rock formations,
the Mojave land also hides a mysterious lava cave system in the darkness of these
lava tubes. Lava from millions of years is preserved perfectly. When lava at 2,000°
F once flowed through here, they created natural tunnels and underground galleries. A
magical underground world that few know. [Music] [Music] But did you know that right in this
silence a vibrant universe is quietly unfolding? Mojave Desert is home to over 10 species of
scorpions, warriors that glow under moonlight, along with flocks of bats flying through the dark night, and herds of big horn sheep with
Spider-Manike climbing abilities. [Music] And then there are the silent elders, desert
tortoises that can live a century digging burrows 5 ft deep like personal shelters where
the temperature is 40° cooler than outside. Meanwhile, the survival battle goes on.
Non-stop kangaroo rats with super strong hind legs can change direction in midair to escape the
venomous fangs of rattlesnakes. Chuckala lizards, they are like self-defense experts, head into
rock crevices, then inhale deeply until their bodies swell twice, turning into a cork
that predators cannot pull out to eat. This is the desert where 95% of animals
never drink water directly but learn to eat moisture from food and night air.
This is the result of millions of years of adaptation. A giant evolution laboratory
where only the smartest creatures can survive. body. The ghost town with mysterious curse that will terrify you to the extreme,
but you cannot look away. [Music] Bodhi, the mysterious ghost city hidden
in California, Sierra, Nevada range, where death and life intertwine in every brick,
every rotting wood plank. Bodhi is not just an ordinary ghost city. This is a vivid museum
about the wildest gold rush of rude the century. Hidden in the Sierra Nevada range of
California, when stepping into Bodhi, you will feel chilling winds carrying whispers
of departed souls where over 10,000 people once lived and died for gold dreams. You will
hear wind moaning through broken windows, carrying creepy stories of those who
lived and died for gold handfuls. What makes Bod special compared to glittering
Las Vegas or Renault today? It is the unique controlled decay policy, a preservation
method no place in the world dares to try. Instead of renovating into luxurious casinos like
in Nevada, Bodhi is kept in natural ruin where shops once stocked full, now covered in time dust,
shattered display cases reflecting eerie light. And in surrounding mines, where daring
miners once dug for gold, now only wind howls through deep tunnels, creating chilling
authenticity no casino can simulate. in 1,859. William Bod discovered a giant gold mine, but
died in a blizzard before seeing the city named after him become the notorious crime capital of
the Wild West. Unlike civilized San Francisco, just 200 m away, Bodhi was where law existed. only
in gun barrels. People died daily from violence, gambling, or poisoned alcohol. Compared to
nearby Placerville, with courts and police, Bodhi was completely lawless land where the
strong decided life and death without fear of consequences. [Music] Brave explorers can
explore the deep maze like mine tunnel system, more complex than death valley labyrinth nearby.
While Death Valley has only natural caves, Bodhi mine system is man-made, full of
dangers with depths up to 300 ft underground. Today, Bodh possesses 170 intact wooden buildings, three times more than Calico Ghost Town
in Southern California. Unlike Tombstone, Arizona commercialized with fake shows, Bodhi
retains pristine soul like a giant outdoor museum. This place is not just a tourist destination.
This is a journey back to the era where dreams and death were just a bullet apart, where humans
reached peaks of ambition and despair. [Music] If you visit Bodhi, what would you be most
curious about? One, the mysterious curse that brings bad luck to anyone who takes something
away. Two, the deep maze-like mine tunnels. Three, the infamous criminal past where law
came from the barrel of a gun. Four, the eerie wooden houses still standing after
more than a hundred years. Comment 1 2 3 or four and tell me what sparks your curiosity most
about Bodhi [Music] Mterrey Bay where the largest aquarium on the planet hides under the water
surface. This is the only place you can witness mysterious creatures from the abyss swimming
up carrying unexplored secrets of the ocean. Come to Mterrey Bay where giant blue
whales jump just 50 f feet from you where there is a submarine canyon deeper
than Grand Canyon hidden under the water. Mterrey Bay hides a submarine canyon 12,800
ft deep nearly twice as deep as the Land Grand Canyon. Compared to San Francisco
Bay with its famous Golden Gate Bridge, Mterrey Bay stands out with Mterrey Bay Aquarium, the first aquarium in the world to successfully
raise bluef tuna in artificial conditions. While San Francisco Aquarium only displays
coastal fish species, Mterrey Bay Aquarium recreates deep sea ecosystems with 25 ft high
tanks containing 350,000 gallons of seawater. Mterrey Canyon creates upwelling phenomenon.
Cold water from 2,000 ft. Depth brings nutrients to the surface completely different from other
California bays. This explains why here you can see 90 foot long blue whales, the processization
largest creature on the planet right near shore. Kelp forest in Mterrey Bay is up
to 120 ft high, forming the largest underwater tropical forest in California
compared to coral reefs in Florida Keys, which only grow in shallow waters. Mterrey kelp
forest grows from surface down to 100 ft deep, creating the largest habitat on the
planet for over 1,000 species. [Music] This is also the world’s leading deep sea research
center with raves that can dive to 4,000 ft. They have discovered over 200 new species here. Mterrey
Bay is not only home to about 3,000 sea otterters, three times more than Alaska, making this one of
the largest sea otter populations in the world. Here you will witness a unique scene. Smart
sea otterters using rocks as tools to crack open shellfish, turning daily meals into
creative and entertaining performances. Night diving at Mterrey Bay offers an
experience not found anywhere else in California with diving depths from
30 to 100 ft allowing observation of bioluminescent plankton glowing creatures
creating underwater fireworks effect. On the rocky shores, hundreds of sea lions lie
packed together, filling the air with grunts, echoing calls like an ocean chorus,
signaling the intense life here. When you leave Mterrey Bay, you will understand why this is recognized by UNESCO
as a national biosphere reserve. This is not just a tourist spot, but where you
witness the perfect combination of science, conservation, and natural beauty and any wide
experience few places in the world can offer. Horrifying truth. At the foot of Mount Shasta, an entire town swallowed. What
secret is hidden under the lake? Did you know right in California there
is a mysterious mountain where locals often see strange UFO-shaped clouds
appearing around the peak? Or did you know under a crystal clearar lake hides
an entire town submerged decades ago? I will explore one of the most mysterious
destinations in America, Mount Shasta. The giant volcano 14,179 ft high, taller than Manhattan
skyscrapers combined. Compared to Empire State Building, only 1,450 ft high. Mount Shasta is
10 times taller. A truly impressive number. [Music] What makes Mount Shasta special is not just the
height. Strange lenticular clouds frequently form around the peak, looking like giant
UFOs hovering in the air. This phenomenon occurs when strong winds hit the mountain
slopes, creating unique air vortices. [Music] At the foot of the mountain is Shasta Lake.
This is an amazing engineering feat. The largest man-made lake in California with a
capacity of 4,500,000 acre feet of water. Shasta Dam built in 1,945 62 ft high nearly
twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty. The dam construction process completely
submerged the ancient Kennet town. This allows diving enthusiasts to explore
a part of history under the lake. Professional divers often explore the ruins
of this old town, finding house foundations, stone stairs, and even ancient trees still
standing upright underwater like silent ghosts. [Music] Surrounding this giant are
ancient coniferous forests embracing the mountain and lake, creating
a vast emerald mosaic painting. Giant sequoia trees with trunk diameters
up to 20 ft wider than a limousine along with towering ponderosa pines and
douglas furs thriving undisturbed. This is a natural refuge for North American
elk, the largest deer on the continent with antlers up to five feet wide. Bald eagles with
7 ft wingspan soaring freely and California black bears weighing up to 400 lb moving
silently through these nature reserves. In winter, avalanche gulch climbing route
is the most popular way to Shasta summit. But do not let the name fool you. This is a
real challenge. With 25° slopes on slippery icy mountain sides, tourists must use krampons, iron spikes attached under shoes, and ice axes
to climb through dangerous icy rock walls. Los Angeles, one of the most expensive cities in
America, but still captivates millions each year. Have you ever wondered why 90% of Hollywood
dreamchasers fail, but millions still flock to this city? Los Angeles stands out with
modern architectural works. Getty center with white travertine stone architecture costing
1 bill300 million to build. Lakma with urban light artwork consisting of 202 classic street lamp
posts becoming the most photographed check-in spot in the city. Hollywood Walk of Fame with over
2,600 stars. Each star costing $30,000 to install. [Music] Tourists can both swim at Venice Beach or
Santa Monica with interesting activities like surfing and volleyball and hike
in natural areas like Santa Monica Mountains or Runan Canyon with diverse trails. Hollywood Sign Trail, 3 mi long, 15% slope,
challenging endurance. From Griffith Observatory, you can view the entire 470 square mile
city. Standing under warm California sun, you hear over 100 different languages
in just one afternoon at Venice Beach. From a settlement of only 44 people
in 1,781, Los Angeles has become the second largest metropolis in America
with nearly 4 million residents. [Music] Besides Hollywood and
beaches, Los Angeles also has Getty Center with European art collection
and picturesque gardens along with Lakma, the largest art museum on the west coast of
America, offering rich cultural experiences for art lovers. If you also want to live amid
the glamour and challenges of Los Angeles, please comment number six below to let me know if
you dare step into this dream paradise. [Music] The deadly trap from Big Su. Why is highway
one called the most dangerous road in America? [Music] [Music] Santa Luchia Mountains 4,300 ft high like
giant rocks plunging into the Pacific Ocean in a magnificent mysterious somersault.
This is not just an ordinary coastal road. This is a life and death journey where every inch
of land is traded with human blood and sweat. To complete this 71-m road, prisoners had to move
over 1 million cubic yards of earth and rock, equivalent to digging a 20ft deep pit
wide as six NFL football fields. This amount is enough to fill all of Lake
Tahoe if calculated by volume. [Music] They faced horrifying landslides that could
swallow entire convoys in seconds. Hellish weather with sea winds over 70 m, twice as strong
as tropical storm winds. Death lurked every minute as they worked on sheer cliffs without safety.
ropes, only hand hammers and crude explosives. Compared to other road construction projects of
the same period, the cost of building Highway 1 was 10 times higher due to terrain complexity.
Calrans has spent about $200 million to repair damage to Highway 1 in Big Su. In the past
decade, not including initial construction costs. While ordinary roads of that time cost
only $11,000 per mile, Big Su swallowed over $100,000 per mile, a huge amount equivalent
to $2,400,000 today if adjusted for inflation. [Music] While Mterrey bustles like a sleepless city
with over 30,000 tourists flooding each day and hotel density thick as a beehive, Big
Sewer still retains its pristine wild soul. Only 5,000 tourists are allowed
to immerse in nature each day. Throughout 71 mi of Big Su, there
are only 15 restaurants fewer than the number of McDonald’s in one Los Angeles
district. This creates absolute exclusivity. Each restaurant must transport food
through the winding road with 205 curves. No grocery store is within 30 mi and
all ingredients must climb mountains and fordge streams to reach the dining
table. So, the average dinner price of $150 here is understandable. Double
Mterrey and triple San Francisco. [Music] Big seur is also recognized by UNESCO
as a world natural heritage thanks to bold technical breakthroughs. Bixby Creek
Bridge 260 ft high and 700 ft long hangs suspended between blue sky and ocean like an
architectural wonder. When built in 1,932, it was the highest curved
concrete bridge in the world. [Music] Tourists come to Big Sur mainly to
experience three main activities driving the spectacular highway.
One with 205 curves in 71 mi. Admiring the unique McQuay Falls pouring
straight from 80 feet height to the sea and hiking the two-mile Fifer Falls trail
through thousand-year-old redwood forest. [Music] McQuay Falls is one of only two
waterfalls in all of California that pours straight to the sea from 80 ft height, as high
as an eight-story building. The other waterfall, Alamir, falls in Point Reyes, but only 50 ft
high, 30 ft lower than McQuay Falls and much less spectacular due to being obscured by large
rocks. [Music] Big sore is not just beautiful, it can change you forever. The prisoners of
old understood this. So despite facing death, they persevered in building this road because
they knew they were creating a gate to paradise. Mystery behind million-doll wine
bottles in Napa. Not everyone knows. When hovering at thousands of feet, altitude
wind changes without warning. And below is the entire billiondoll wine empire. The heart of
you pounds like war drums when the sun rises from Mayakamis mountains. But this panoramic view
is only for the brave enough. [Music] Napa Valley is not just grape growing land but battlefield
of the boldest dreams. a narrow 31-m strip in California with over 400 wineries challenging
the whole world. While French Bordeaux took centuries to build reputation, Napa needed only
55 years to shake the entire global wine industry. Morning fog from San Francisco Bay creates
microclimate that Soma cannot copy. These fog layers are not just weather phenomena. They are
secret weapons helping grapes ripen evenly and develop complex flavors like a natural free
one of a glown kind air conditioning system. Castello de Amarosa Tuscanany Castle in
the heart of California attracts the most tourists with fourlevel underground wine
sellers. Napa Valley wine train offers culinary experience on classic train
and 1/2 hours through the Mier Valley. The real secret of Napa lies right under the feet
of you with volcanic soil allowing cultivation of dozens of grape varieties from Cabernet Svenon
to Chardonnay with over 100 different variants. Before the 1970s, this was just ordinary
plum fields and livestock farms. Who could imagine this soil layer formed from volcanic
eruptions millions of years ago holds the key to unlocking wine treasure? This billiondoll
wine industry has created jobs for thousands and attracted international investment, turning
Napa into a vibrant symbol of the American dream. July Festival del Sole with outdoor classical
concerts under starry sky is an unmissable experience, but remember to hire a private driver.
Driving after wine tasting is the fastest way to end the adventure. With high quality life, low
crime rate, and friendly resident community, Napa is considered one of the most livable
places. Family farms pass through generations where hosts eagerly share stories with each
wine bottle make you reluctant to leave. Lake Tahoe. Unique wonder, one lake, two,
completely different worlds. Lake Tahoe, the sparkling emerald gem
of the Sierra Nevada range. Located at 6,224 ft, altitude between California
and Nevada, this lake possesses crystal like clear blue water deep over 1,600 ft, making you feel
like gazing at a mysterious underground world. Compared to Crater Lake in Oregon,
the deepest lake in America, Lake Tahoe shows clear superiority. Tahoe
is 7 times larger than Crater Lake and more importantly offers incomparable activity
diversity. While Crater Lake is isolated in a volcanic crater with few recreational
activities, Tahoe is surrounded by majestic Sierra Nevada range with over 10 worldclass
ski resorts like Heavenly and Northstar while still allowing snorkeling and
paddle boarding even on winter days. The challenge for explorers is climbing Mount Tac
Peak 11,000 ft high, where you will face rugged terrain, harsh weather, and absolute solitude. But
in return, admire full Lake Tahoe view from above. Inspiration 7 ft above sea level provides 360°
view of the entire lake. From here you can clearly see the contrast between the lakes’s turquoise
water and white snow on mountain peaks compared to tunnel view in Yoseite. Inspiration point
is less crowded but no less beautiful. [Music] The ideal time to visit is from June to
September with warm temperatures of 25° C to absolutely avoid January and February
when snowstorms can strand you for days. The absolute thing not to do is swim alone in winter
when water temperature is only 39° F can cause life-threatening thermal shock. With hundreds of
winding hiking trails through fragrant forests leading you to stunning viewpoints to admire
the romantic full scene of the lake from above. When winter comes, Lake Tahoe transforms into
a white snow paradise for snowboarding souls. This is home to some of the world’s top class
ski resorts in America. The Nevada Shore offers a colorful entertainment world with lavish
casinos and top luxury resorts. In contrast, the California area retains pristine wild beauty and absolute peaceful space like a
tranquil oasis amid bustling life. Emerald Bay is the smallest of 18 bays in Lake
Tahoe, but selected by National Geographic as one of the top 10 most beautiful scenes in the
world. This bay is 300 ft deep with a small island named Finet. The only island on Lake
Tahoe compared to Alcatraz in San Francisco. Bay Fanet Island is only half an acre
but pristine without man-made structures. Leave number two if you want
to set foot in Lake Tahoe and experience two contrasting worlds. [Music] San Francisco, the most expensive
city but the most livable in America. San Francisco, a city where fog like
giant hands embraces skyscrapers, where a red orange bridge can become the
symbol of an entire American dream. [Music] [Music] Standing on Twin Peaks summit,
you will feel the magical power looking down on San Francisco, stretching like a
vivid painting from the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco Bay. A golden gate bridge in
international orange red orange color like a giant guardian embracing the entire bay with
247 m high bridge towers reaching to blue sky. each steel cable like giant strings playing the
music of indomitability and aspiration. While the total length of 2,700 m stretches like a time
gate where everything becomes possible. [Music] While Seattle is all steel glass and
concrete skyscrapers looking cold, San Francisco retains antique charm.
Painted ladies houses in vibrant colors, Lombard Street winding with eight curves, and the
19th century cable cars that still run everyday. [Music] San Francisco is a modern engineering wonder
built on 42 hills with energy saving green buildings and free Wi-Fi everywhere.
But what makes the heart of you pound is driving down Lombard Street. The road
winding eight sharp curves in just 400 m. Each curve challenging driving skills and
making you hold breath every second. Tireless cable cars climb up and down the city. Steep
slopes giving passengers stunning full bay views changing continuously with each curve
like a living panorama movie never repeating. [Music] An interesting thing not to miss is Fisherman
Wararf playing the role as the ceaselessly beating heart of San Francisco port activity
when the first dawn rays just appear on the Pacific horizon. Engine sounds of boats start
resounding like an ocean symphony signaling experienced fishermen beginning their workday
hoping to harvest plump dungeonous crabs and fresh lobsters. [Music] San Francisco
deserves to be the most livable city thanks to fresh air quality from Pacific
Sea winds, world top five health system and highest average income in America. This
prosperity comes from Silicon Valley center concentrating 30% of the world’s leading tech
companies. This creates not only millions of highquality jobs but also shapes the future
of humanity right from this small peninsula. [Music] For thrillseeking explorers, try hiking to quite
tower summit. 210 ft high in strong winds up to 30 mph. This number equals level six wind on Bowfort
scale. Strong enough to bend large tree branches. [Music] or more daring, join helicopter tours around San
Francisco Bay from 1,000 ft altitude. From here, you can see California sea lions sunbathing on
Pier 39, a scene unique to San Francisco because this is the only place in the world with modern
urban and wild animals coexisting harmoniously. [Music] Whitney of death. On average, 30 people
per year encounter trouble. American climbers are terrified when looking down
from the highest peak to Death Valley. There is a secret that only 3% of the
American population has experienced. Standing on the highest mountain peak
of the continent and looking down at the deepest point in just one glance. But do
you have enough courage to become one of them? [Music] [Music] Mount Whitney stands there like a giant challenge.
Each year, thousands of confident people step on this path, but only half of them actually
reach the summit. When standing at 14,55 ft, the heart pounds, not only from lack of oxygen,
but also from the scene unfolding before the eyes. From here, Death Valley lies straight
below like a giant scar on the earth, 282 ft below sea level. The vertical distance
between these two points, 14,832 ft, equivalent to stacking five Empire State buildings on top
of each other. At this altitude, each breath of you contains only 65% oxygen. The body of you
has to work one and a half times harder just to maintain normal heart rate, like running a
marathon while wearing three layers of masks. Whitney Trail, 22 mi long, is the path for
the craziest people. Sheer cliffs with 85° slopes and whirlwinds at 60 m have made
countless experienced climbers abandon their conquest dream. [Music] But there
is a strange thing few know. The springs on Whitney Trail are supplied from ice melted
2,000 years ago. Each sip of water you drink contains stories of clouds from ancient Roman
times. Alabama Hills, just 30 mi from Whitney, is living proof of the terrifying power of
time. These granite boulders the size of buses were formed 200 million years ago when
the Pangia continent still existed. [Music] At dusk, the rock surface temperature can
reach 130° F. Hot enough to grill beef. But just 2 hours later, the temperature
drops to 60°, creating cracking sounds, like the breaking of continents. But Whitney
does not forgive poor preparation. Each year, an average of 30 people need emergency rescue
causes, body exhaustion from dehydration, altitude sickness, and especially
underestimating personal health. [Music] The California mountain rescue team has
recorded that 80% of rescue cases occur in the afternoon when the body is
exhausted after hours of climbing. To climb Whitney successfully start
climbing at 200 a.m. This sounds crazy, but reaching the summit at 8:00 a.m. helps you
avoid the frequent afternoon storms starting from 100 p.m. These storms come fast as lightning
with deadly thunder in 15 minutes. And one more essential thing is hiking shoes. With
Vibram anti-slip soles costing about $200, a pair of poor quality shoes can cause you to slip
on wet granite slabs, leading to serious injury. When you finally stand on Whitney Summit,
the first feeling is not joy, but dizziness. The air is so thin that each breath requires
effort. But when looking out in all directions, Seoia National Park to the west, Death
Valley to the east, Yoseite to the north, you will understand why people say from

tree trunks on barren rocky mountains, Redwood brings a unique beauty. The perfect
combination of sky-piercing ancient forests, pristine beaches, and mystical
fog from the Pacific Ocean. This place deserves to be a leading modern wonder.
Thanks to the advanced redwoods rising program. Using advanced technology like lidar, laser, and

in Kali. What secret makes millions of tourists speechless when coming here? [Music] On the vast Pacific shore, San Diego like a
precious gem shining amid dreamy California land where nature and humans blend
into a wonderful symphony. San Diego, a city in California that the whole
world calls paradise on earth. Stretching along the Pacific shore,
San Diego is considered a modern wonder thanks to vast Balboa Park
with exquisite Spanish Renaissance architecture. Home to San Diego Zoo,
ranked number one in the world by CNN. Scripps’ Institution of Oceanography,
the world’s leading research institute, has over 120 years exploring ocean mysteries. From
discovering climate change to researching deep sea creatures, this place like a time machine,
helping humans better understand our blue planet for thrillsekers. Black’s Beach delivers
waves towering 10 to 15 feet high. It’s where prourfers from around the globe
come to test their skills. The waves here are up to three times more powerful
than those at typical California beaches. From Mission Beach with coastal
paths where wave sounds never stop, you will be captivated by Gas Lamp
Quarter, the over 100-year-old district, but most vibrant at night. Hundreds of bars and
restaurants here do not sleep until 300 a.m., creating an atmosphere even
Las Vegas must learn from. But what really surprises people is when
you walk just 10 minutes from that noise, you will find Little Italy, where the aroma of
brick oven pizza mixes with cheerful laughter from sidewalk cafes, making you feel like lost in
a small corner of Rome in the heart of California. What could be better when Balboa Park, the West

the American dream in the 21st century. You think Malibu is paradise? The lifestyle
in Santa Monica will drive you crazy. Santa Monica, where California dreams become
the most bare reality. When you set foot on this beach, the first thing you realize is not
the beauty, but the freedom feeling few places can offer. When you walk barefoot on Santa Monica
sand, you immediately notice the difference. The sand here is not rough like Venice Beach or
Manhattan Beach. It is noticeably finer. The simple reason flow from Santa Barbara
Bay brings fine sand here over years. Arnold Schwarzenegger chose Muscle Beach in
Santa Monica as training place from the 1970s, not for image promotion, but because this
is the only place on the West Coast with highquality outdoor bodybuilding equipment year
round. Compared to Gold’s gym in Venice Beach, where other bodybuilders often train muscle,
beach has the advantage of seab breeze, naturally regulating body temperature,
allowing longer training sessions. Moreover, helps increase muscle mass 30%
faster than training in enclosed gyms thanks to the combination of fresh air, natural
vitamin D from California, sunshine, and standing out on the Pacific horizon. Santa
Monica appears like a vivid painting. At dawn, surfers already start riding
silver crested waves. Additionally, cycling on the 26 mile coastal path is also
a great way to fully enjoy the beauty here. Leaving the pier, you will wander into lively
third street prominade. This is the meeting point of musicians, unique shops, and bustling
restaurants operating late into the night. When coming to Santa Monica, tourists
cannot miss characteristic experiences like admiring stunning sunset from
the pier and enjoying lively street performances at Third Street
Prominade walking area. [Music] Besides the culinary exploration journey

Santa Monica Seafood or taste the characteristic flavor of fish tacos
at Blue Plate Taco and end with a cup of renowned Italian gelato with special
Sicily pistachio flavor at Grom Gelato. Santa Monica is the embodiment of the
California dream, where natural beauty and cultural richness blend into a wonderful
symphony, creating an unforgettable experience. Horrifying fact. El Capitan Don Wall, the hardest cliff in the world to climb.
Dozens of people die each year from slipping. Yoseite National Park in California is
famous for its giant granite cliffs and majestic waterfalls. Located
in the Sierra Nevada range, this is a place that attracts
millions of tourists each year. Compared to the Grand Canyon, famous for its
depth of 1 mile, Yuseite impresses with height, El Capitan is 3,000 ft high, taller
than most buildings in New York, while Niagara Falls is 160 ft high.
Yusede falls is proper said 2,419 ft high. El Capitan is a horrifying challenge for
the craziest people in the world. This 3,000 ft vertical rock wall makes even the best
climbers tremble. They hang in midair for weeks, sleeping in tiny tents on the cliff with
death, lurking just inches away from the rope. But if you think El Capitan is crazy enough,
then look at Half Dome, the granite monster with its peak chopped in half like by a giant
axe. This is where the real death seekers gather. The final section is a real nightmare you have to
cling to. Slippery steel cables climbing straight up the 85° inclined rock wall. Hands sweating,
legs shaking. Just let go and fall straight down the thousand ft cliff below. The special thing
is only 300 daredevils are allowed to challenge death each day and you must register 6 months in
advance to have a chance at this legal suicide. If you want something less dangerous, but
still shocking, stand before Yoseite Falls. This three tier monster waterfall will stun
you. The upper tier, 1,580 ft high water, plunges like arrows. The middle tier, 675 ft
high, creates splashing water sprays. And the lower tier, 320 ft high, crashes down on
rocks with terrifying force. In spring, when snow melts, this monster awakens.

to shake the ground beneath the feet of you. But not only deadly challenges. The winding
trails lead you through endless meadows blooming with orange purple wild flowers.

Bernardino Forest. The battle of fire and ice. [Music] California’s forgotten secret.
Can you believe a place with desert, hot as a forge and snowy mountains, freezing
cold San Bernardino National Forest, where nature has created an endless battle
between fire and ice for millions of years. San Bernardino is the journey through California’s
DNA from 30foot cacti to thousand-year-old giant sequoas. Each step here is a chapter in the book
of extreme survival. After the 2020 apple fire, the forest has spectacularly revived with 3
million young trees planted by drones and special seeds. Survival rate reaching 95% three times
higher than traditional methods. [Music] Tourists flock here to conquer the legendary Pacific

California lakes considered paradise for anglers. For those thirsting to challenge
limits, Hulcom Valley pinnacles await. Like ancient granite towers, these rock blocks
up to 150 ft high. As a 10-story building, only 20% of climbers complete the hardest route. When sun rays filter through rock
crevices, light scatters into myriad beams, spreading across the ground. From mountain peaks,
rivers originate snaking through rocky gorges, bringing life to arid valleys below, creating a
tight bond between pruss, mountains, and desert. In winter, snow blankets, mountain peaks,
turning them into crystal islands amid floating sea of clouds. But what makes San
Bernardino truly special? This is the only place in the world you can ski in the
morning and sandboard in the afternoon, just 2 hours drive apart, where evolution
has created survival of the fittest battle among thousands of species, resulting

giant rock blocks in Joshua Tree still standing firm for millions of
years challenging the laws of physics. At Joshua Tree National Park, Joshua
trees 20 ft tall with strange shapes look like giant arms reaching to
the sky. This is the only boundary in the world where Mojave and Colorado
deserts meet like when you stand at the California Nevada border. One side snowy
mountains, the other scorching desert. The park has an area of 790,000 acres, nearly as
large as Rhode Island. State attracts 2 million tourists each year, but still has enough space for
you to hike for hours without meeting anyone. This is completely different from Disneyland, where
you have to queue 30 minutes for each ride. Joshua Tree is at 4,000 ft altitude, much cooler
than Death Valley. Like the difference between basement and attic, in summer, Death Valley lies
deep below sea level. Like a giant pan, catching full desert heat, hot enough to fry eggs on rocks.
While Joshua tree is high like a 400story building above sea level, cool like summer days, you
can hike all day if carrying enough water. The granite rock blocks here formed
100 million years ago. They are up to 30 ft high and weigh thousands of tons. Jumbo
Rocks is the most popular climbing spot with over 4,000 different climbing routes. They
protrude from the ground like giant bricks thrown half-hazardly stacked on each other,
impossibly challenging the law of gravity. Some blocks as big as buses perch on stones, small
as coffee tables, creating bizarre architectures that only nature dares to design. That is the
difference between training in enclosed airond conditioned spaces and challenging yourself in
wild nature where each climbing step is a step facing death below is rock hard. As diamond
above are rocks that can roll down anytime. These Joshua trees are not ordinary
trees. They belong to the agave family growing only 1 in per year and can live up
to 200 years. A 10-ft Joshua tree means it has been growing here for 120 years longer
than seven. The age of California state. You need to carry at least one gallon of water
per person per day. Anti-slip boots are mandatory because granite is slippery when dewy. Never
camp near rock caves because rattlesnakes often hide there. There have been many snake
bite cases at aspertention. Joshua tree. Desert lizards have learned to dance on hot
sand like ballet dancers. They lift each foot quickly to avoid burns and know how to dig deep
burrows to escape the scorching midday heat. Desert owls hunt at night when temperatures drop while blade rattlesnakes hide in rock
shadows waiting for careless prey. Do you have the guts to walk on the San Andreas
fault? The horrifying scar of the 1,96 disaster, the largest geology laboratory on the planet. At Point Reyes National Seashore, you are
standing on one of the most active faults on the planet. While Yellowstone has impressive
hot springs, Point Reyes possesses something no other place has the ability to let you witness
directly. The San Andreas fault. Quietly moving earthquake trail 1 and a half mi long
is the only place in the world you can set foot on the scar remaining from
the 1,96 San Francisco earthquake. A historical wound still clearly
present after over 100 years. While Big Su impresses with giant
granite cliffs up to 1,000 ft high, Point Reyes attracts tourists in a completely
different way. This is the place where you can see the Pacific and North American
tectonic plates colliding most clearly. From an ordinary dairy farming area
point, Reyes has become the largest outdoor geology laboratory in the world.
Scientists use modern GPS technology to track every millimeter of land movement.
Completely different from studying geology at Grand Canyon, which relies only
on observing ancient rock layers. A point re ryes lighthouse built in 1,870
still operates with its original frenel lens unlike Alcatraz lighthouse which has
been fully automated. From the 115 ft high lighthouse peak you can see out to 20
nautical miles. That is you can see a distance equivalent from San Francisco to
Oakland. [Music] Point Reyes Peninsula is not merely a quiet piece of land. It
is moving northwest at 2 in per year, faster than the growth rate of the fingernails
of U compared to half-dome in Yusede formed from ancient glacial activity point. Reyes is created
by geological movements happening right now. Tamales bay oysters at restaurants near Point
Reyes station are fresher than farmed oysters in other bays thanks to cold water from the Pacific
Ocean and high nutrient content from underground flows. [Music] When you stand on earthquake trail,
the feeling under the feet is unlike anywhere else. This is not illusory or romanticized
nature experience. This is real science. You are standing on the boundary of two geological
worlds moving at percent measurable speed. When leaving here you will carry real
understanding of the power of nature not through books or movies but through direct experience
with the feet and eyes of you. Do you dare walk on the San Andreas fault where two tectonic
plates collide right under the feet of you? If curious to try the feeling of standing on the
edge of the earth, please comment. Number nine, MacArthur Bernie falls the eighth wonder
of the world with surreal nevering flow. MacArthur Bernie. A mysterious wonder
hidden in Northern California where a giant water curtain pours endlessly.

a unique geological secret on Earth. Unlike famous waterfalls like yuseite
falls majestic only in spring, snow melt macarthur bernie falls possesses
eternal power. Its flow does not depend on rain or snow but originates from a
mysterious underground spring deep in the earth formed millions of years ago
creating a unique geological phenomenon. For explorers, the Pacific Crest Trail section
through the park is an enticing challenge. You can experience thrills climbing down to the
falls base via Rainbow Falls Trail with slippery rocks and swift currents. Or explore steep
trails through pine forests and deep valleys. To make the trip of you, complete book camping

daring to claim to be the center of the universe engraved right on the manhole cover to prove.
Sounds funny, but when standing among surrounding mountain ranges, you will understand why. From
Idaho, the journey leads us to Levvenworth, Washington 4. In the heart of America,
suddenly appears a complete German village. Wooden houses with pointed roofs, Bavarian flags
fluttering like stepping out from fairy tale. The journey continues to Red Lodge, Montana,
lying at the foot of Beartooth Road, places where you drive on clouds through peaks
3,000 m high, covered in year round snow. Ura, Colorado winter has waterfalls frozen into
giant crystal walls. And Bisby, Arizona, old mining town with houses painted full of colors
where winds whisper stories from the past. And these are just two of the 10 hidden gems that will
be gradually revealed in this video. Please click the next video to continue this adventure
with me. I guarantee you the things about to be revealed will make you completely change
the list of places you want to visit in life.
