12 STRANGEST Places in California Every Tour Operator Hides From You
A secret nuclear meltdown 30 miles from downtown LA. A ghost town sinking into a swamp in the San Francisco Bay. A con man who built a fake health spa on stolen government land using Skid Row laborers. California has places the tourism board will never put on a brochure, and today we’re counting down 12 of the strangest, creepiest, and most forgotten locations in the Golden State. From a man who spent 38 years hand-digging a tunnel through a mountain for a shortcut that was already obsolete, to a downtown LA hotel where two serial killers stayed and a woman’s body was found inside the water tank guests were drinking from — these are all real places you can find on a map. Most of them, nobody wants you looking at too closely. 📍 PLACES FEATURED • Burro Schmidt Tunnel — Kern County, CA • Llano del Rio — Antelope Valley, LA County • The Mojave Phone Booth — Mojave National Preserve • Lake Dolores / Rock-A-Hoola Waterpark — Newberry Springs • Racetrack Playa Sailing Stones — Death Valley National Park • Zzyzx — Mojave National Preserve • Drawbridge — South San Francisco Bay • Murphy Ranch — Rustic Canyon, Pacific Palisades • Cerro Gordo Ghost Town — Inyo Mountains • The Cecil Hotel — 640 S.
