California Yucca
Southern California
A Four-Season Vacationland
Nowhere will be found such scenic contrasts as in Southern California. Between the mountains and the sea, lie fertile irrigated valleys and beautifl garden-like towns. ... Colorful beach colonies extend for miles along the Pacific coastline, San Diego to the south, where the history of California began; Laguna Beach, Balboa, Long Beach, Redondo, Santa Monica and Santa Barbara are coastal towns each with distinctive charm and appeal. Beautiful Pasadena at the base of the Sierra Madres, is the locale of the famous Rose Bowl and the Huntington Library. Alluring Lake Arrowhead, a mile high and famed Palm Springs desert resort, are to the east. [etc.]
