10 Day California Road-trip with Airstream®

DISCOVER AMERICA IN STYLE WITH THIS AIRSTREAM SIGNATURE ROADTRIP SERIES

This road-trip takes you along handpicked off-the-beaten track spots across stunning landscapes, peculiar arts, heritage and clear night summer skies in Californian deserts. In Big Sur, marvel at the colossal waves and giant trees, hiking trips and a secret supper evening under the stars.

A whole new sense of freedom driving from the Southern California deserts to a magical place along the Pacific, winding along some of the most beautiful slivers of coastline you’ve ever seen. Experience the dramatic rocky coast nestling right up against dense forests filled with giant redwood trees and mesmerising sunsets. This special road-trip is a dreamy escape to feed all nature loving souls.

Southern California: Joshua Tree National Park, at the transition zone of two deserts: the low and dry Colorado desert and the higher, moister and slightly cooler Mojave desert. Named for the region’s twisted, whimsical & bristled Joshua trees. The area is known for its surreal rock formation, wild flowers blooms, a great place for hikers & rock climbers.

Big Sur: This is more of a state of mind than a place to pinpoint on a map. Raw beauty and an intense maritime energy characterize this land, a rugged stretch of California’s central coast between Carmel and San Simeon. Bordered to the east by the Santa Lucia Mountains and the west by the Pacific Ocean. The first glimpse of the craggy, unspoiled coastline is a special moment. And when the sun goes down, the moon and the stars are the area’s natural streetlights.
