Golden State is one of the five lands in the Disney's California Adventure Park and is divided into five smaller sub-lands.

[edit] Sub-lands
When entering the main entrance of Golden State from Sunshine Plaza, one arrives in Condor Flats. It is based on the Mojave Desert during the aviation days of the early to mid 20th Century. The attraction in Condor Flats is Soarin' Over California.
Another sub-land, Grizzly Peak Recreation Area, is home to the Grizzly River Run. Across from the Grizzly River Run is the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, which provides an idea of the Mount Shasta wilderness. The attraction also includes a few Brother Bear scenes. When leaving the Grizzly Peak Recreation Area, one can find a talking trash can "PUSH" near the border of the Bay Area during selected times, usually weekends during the day (prior to 6 PM).
The Bay Area path is modeled after 20th Century San Francisco, with models of Victorian houses lining the path. The attraction in The Bay Area is Golden Dreams.
After leaving The Bay Area, turning left one arrives in the Golden Vine Winery. Here, the attraction, Seasons of the Vine celebrates California's Wine Country.
Pacific Wharf, modeled after California's 20th-Century wharfs, is the final sub-land. There are two attractions here, Mission Tortilla Factory and The Bakery Tour, which is hosted by the Boudin Bakery.
