California is a state in the United States of America. Hitchhiking here is easier than in a lot of other states of the US. You usually won't be harassed by cops.

Major cities:


The rest stop in Vallejo is really good.

Humbolt county is real good. They have a Hoopa indian reservation up there that is pretty good. They'll stop if you're walking on the side because they think you're one of them, and then once they stop they feel bad and give you a ride anyway. Lord Ellis peak took me about half an hour to get a ride to Redding

I thought Vallejo was pretty ghetto, which I try to avoid. Rt. 101 and Rt. 1 are great roads to hitch, arguably the easiest hitchhiking in the United States. Incredibly beautiful scenery too. I recommend the following places, Big Sur, Jade Beach, Crescent City has a beautiful shore/beach. Yosemite, Sequia National Park, and the redwoods are a must. Haight and Ashbury is long gone and beat like a drum, but you might meet a few interesting people there. Arcata is mad cool as well.

Also, if you are heading down (or up) the coast, try and get to Mendocino. It's the county in Cali that produces the most marijuana, and there is this awesome communal farm there.
