What is the state you get to before getting to California?

The answer depends on which direction you are coming from, and what part of California you are going to. There are several states that border California. These include the following: Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon. If you are coming from Texas, for instance, then you will come through New Mexico and Arizona before you get to California. If you are coming from Washington State, you will go through Oregon first. If you are coming from Colorado you could choose to go through New Mexico and Arizona to get to Southern California, or Utah and Nevada to get to Northern California. (California also borders Mexico if you are coming up from South America.)
