Set in the West Coast, Indio works as a base for big sur coastal camping, sierra backpacking, and joshua tree bouldering. Plan around the season: Year-round depending on elevation — coastal summer, Sierra fall, desert winter. California's national parks (Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon) make good day-trip anchors from here.
