California's Gold
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
California's Gold is a PBS travel program that explores the numerous natural, cultural and historical wonders of the Golden State. The show, now in its 17th year, is produced and hosted by Huell Howser. The minimal production allows the locations and people to remain the focal point of the program.
The show's theme song varies between several renditions of "California, Here I Come".
Included among the hundreds of California destinations visited by Huell on California's Gold are Julian, known for its delicious apple pies and cider, and the Danish village of Solvang.
