Everything from the Oregon border down to Monterey-Carmel and the rugged Pacific coast to the Sierra foothills is featured on this informative map. Beautiful cartography combines with the best content possible - you'll even find yourself just sitting around poring over this map while sitting at home. This is MAD Maps' backyard, so we'll show the 32 perfect Northern California trips. Detailed turn-by-turn directions allow you to enjoy every twist and turn as one view unfolds into an even better one. We'll also tell of the best places to stop, eat and check out the scenery, an eclectic group of points-of-interest ranging from the warmth of a roaring fireplace in a charming Marin County inn to chilling stories of a roaring Bigfoot in the remote northern reaches of the state. Our "unconventional" tidbits of local lore, named "It’s a MAD World," add the finishing touch.

Nature didn’t create this incredible landscape so that you could sit at home watching TV. It’s time to hit the road.

Mad Maps: Sierra and Northern Nevada

When it comes to amazing scenery, you just hit the mother lode. With 32 scenic loops through the birthplace of the Gold Rush, our new Sierra Nevada map is your guide to a region as unmistakable as that first nugget. Our local MAD scouts have found the most scenic roads for us, plus the best places to stop, eat and check out the scenery along the way.

This map guides you along historic byways and old wagon trails from Mount Shasta down to Sequoia National Park. Explore the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevada, see the deep blue of Lake Tahoe and check out awe-inspiring Yosemite National Park. Or head down the east side of the Sierra through authentic ghost towns and the sites of hundreds of classic Westerns.

As travel through the mountain passes can be tricky, we've made sure to include detailed driving directions and warnings about Sierra road conditions and fuel availability.

Mad Maps: Southern CA / Southern NV

Covering the finest scenic roads from Monterey down to Mexico, our new version of this map now includes Southern Nevada scenic tours for a total of 35 amazing loops. This is definitely your guide to a world far more breathtaking than any Hollywood movie set. From scenic coastal roads to California's famous deserts to the canyons in between, you'll explore some of the finest scenic roads and roadside stops this part of the state has to offer--all discovered by our local MAD scouts.

Explore rewarding routes in and around the L.A. and San Diego areas. Stop in at favorite local haunts like the Rock Store (keep an eye out for Jay Leno) with fantastic barbecue. Travel along unequalled Highway 1 on day trips from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara to Carmel.

And no trip to California would be complete without a trip to the desert. That's why we've also included routes through the beautiful wasteland of Death Valley, incomparable Joshua Tree National Park (an absolute must-see for its spring wildflowers) and stunning Anza-Borrego east of San Diego. But even if you choose to just stick around L.A., we give you some fun "It's a MAD World" options.

And did we mention the spectacular trio of Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier and Mount Hood? There's even Crater Lake, with water a shade of blue we promise you'll never forget.

Our detailed turn-by-turn directions let you sit back and enjoy the drive, but you will want to stop along the way at the attractions, eateries and outdoor locales we've pointed out. It's all here, from cheesemaking facilities and hot springs to incredible sand dunes and nightlife. And for a bit of local color, we have plenty of our It's a MAD World quirky stories of the area.
