July 4th marks the busiest summer week in California. It’s mid Summer for most school kids. The golden state has it’s biggest increase of visiting tourist during this month too, along with the local residents traveling on seasonal road trips. Plenty of traffic, be warned.

Camping July 4th means EVERYBODY and the GRANDMOTHER will be outside this weekend. The majority of big family camp-outs and the wilderness family BBQ take place — on this very summer holiday weekend. Stay away from the biggest campgrounds and tourist traps, unless you are into that. Head for the back country for optimal seclusion and the freshest creeks and coolest lakes. (click on the lake photo above to discover a new world of water in Cali.)

  • BE FIRE SAFE, always
  • DRINK PLENTY WATER
  • DON’T DRIVE DRUNK
  • NO FIREWORKS IN FOREST!

    City Fireworks & Parade Events can be found on various city web sites or chamber of commerce sites, which you can easily access through Total Escape.
