California and Summer go together like wine and chocolate, oceans and sunsets, cannabis and…well, just about everything goes with cannabis in our opinion. Yes, we live in a State where Summer never really ends, but we can’t help but feel excited when the days heat up and the sun stays out long into the night. In honor of the approaching Summer months, we put together a few highlights and adventures that we are looking forward to enjoying and embarking on. Whether you live in California all year round, or are visiting for the first time, we highly recommend taking advantage of everything it has to offer!
Hit the great outdoors
One of our favorite things about California is the fact that there is incredible natural beauty all around us. There are so many options when it comes to connecting with the outdoors! You can take a hike without leaving the city: hit Hollywood’s Runyon Canyon Park for a short trek with beautiful views of Los Angeles. But, we recommend venturing away from the hustle of city life when you get a chance. Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park is a must-see if you like ocean views and 24-mile high cascading waterfalls from granite cliffs onto untouched beaches. Located in Big Sur, you can take a short half-mile walk to the gorgeous view of McWay Falls, and after that you can hike along the Ewoldsen Trail through old-growth redwood forests.
For a full escape to the great outdoors, head to Yosemite National Park. You can choose to stay in a luxurious hotel or on a sprawling campground, but those are trivial decisions in comparison to the 800 miles of hiking trails that you can choose from! We recommend taking The Mist Trail for views of Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall for a total of 6.6 miles of hiking. It’s enough to get your blood flowing and the sights at the end are well worth it. If you’re looking for something on the more strenuous side there’s the Half Dome Day Hike.
Immerse yourself in California culture
After all the fun at Coachella, we’ve retired our flower crowns until next year. Now we’re looking forward to these great festivals, parades, and events! We love celebrating art, culture, music, and food with great people, and these are the perfect places to do just that.

Take a drive
Start in San Francisco and cruise on down to Southern California. First, grab some treats for the road from the Sunday Marin Farmer’s Market before hitting the Pacific Coast Highway. Throw on your favorite music, take in the fresh air, and make sure to leave time for stops along the way. There is plenty to see as you make your way down to Los Angeles. We recommend a pitstop just outside of Santa Cruz at Shark Fin Cove.
Once you arrive in Los Angeles, head down to Manhattan Beach to watch the sunset. The view from the pier will take your breath away. On your way back, take a drive down Hollywood Boulevard. You can feel the energy radiating from Hollywood’s star-studded walkway and experience LA traffic at the same time!
Sometimes it’s hard to wrap your head around all the different activities and events going on across the State on a regular basis; we can’t imagine ever being bored in California. It’s also incredible to think about all the natural beauty and wonderful sites to see. Summer is fast approaching so grab your friends and loved ones, make some plans and enjoy all that California has to offer. Along the way stop by one of the many licensed dispensaries carrying our products and say Hi to a 3Leaf team member.
