Joshua Tree is known for its unique rock formations and desert landscapes, and has several great hiking trails for all skill levels. Make sure to bring plenty of water and refillable water bottles and sunscreen, as the park can get very hot during the day, however, spring time weather is milder so make sure to check before going. Spring also brings many blooms to the desert.

Afterwards, head to Natural Bridges State Beach for a leisurely beach walk and some tidepooling.
Road Trip to Lake Tahoe: Take a scenic road trip to Lake Tahoe, a stunning alpine lake nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Spend the day hiking or skiing in the surrounding mountains, or take a leisurely walk along the shore of the lake. In the evening, relax and unwind at your accommodation.
Hiking in Yosemite National Park: Yosemite National Park is a must-visit destination for any nature lover, and is home to some of the most iconic hiking trails in the world. Spend the day hiking to Half Dome or exploring Yosemite Valley, and make sure to bring a camera to capture the stunning scenery.

Activities: California offers a wide range of activities for all ages and interests. In addition to hiking and nature walks, consider visiting museums, taking a city tour, or trying some adventure activities like ziplining or rock climbing.
Overall, a spring break vacation in California or any where you choose with your family is sure to be an unforgettable experience filled with adventure, nature, and quality time together.
