About CalEXPLORnia.com

This site started out over a decade ago, as a way to share my adventures with friends and family. It grew into a vehicle to share my explorations with anyone that was interested. During this period, I learned how to become a decent landscape photographer and it quickly became a passion. The majority of photos on this site are mine. 

Please don’t take any of my pictures or researched content without expressed written permission from me.

After a few years of operating as a travel blog, CalEXPLORnia underwent another transformation. This time, it became a resource for California’s History, Landscapes, Legends and Lore. 

It’s my sincerest hope that this site can become a valuable resource for California explorers, historians and enthusiasts alike; to become a place where visitors can find information and inspiration.

CalEXPLORnia.com is a labor of love! With over 20 years experience as a freelance writer, I haven’t always had the time to research, explore and photograph this state. But with a new look and feel to the site, my hopes are that I can spend more time embracing one of my passions and joys in life – California! 

I’m always on the look out for beautiful Landscapes, interesting History, captivating Mysteries, exciting Legends and Lore of California. Feel free to reach out via the Contact form or FaceBook to share some of your favorites!
