I am trying to say the following: "We also drove around California and visited
San Diego, Joshua Tree Park and several beaches."

I think it should be:

> Kariforunia o doraibu shite sandiego nimo ikimashita. Joshua Tree Park to
> bi-chi o ikutsuka mimashita.

However, I've been told that "Mimashita" is wrong, because it just means
"looked/saw." I tried the verb "kengaku shimashita" but that apparently is
also very similar to "looked/saw."

How can I change my sentence to naturally convey the concept of visiting those
places?

PS. I have not used hiragana because my skills in hiragana are still at a
beginner level and it's just creating too much confusion for me at this stage.
The line is only going to be spoken.

What verb conveys the concept of 'visited'?
You could just combine San Diego with the Joshua Tree/beaches. Note that
`ikutsuka no` means `a number of`.

> Kariforunia o doraibu shite, sandiego to Joshua Tree Park to ikutsuka no bi-
> chi ni ikimashita.

If you mean that on the way to San Diego you went to Joshua Tree and a number
of beaches, you could say something like the following. `yottemiru` means `to
go to somewhere because it's along the way/convenient`. I.E. Getting to San
Diego was the main goal, but Joshua Tree and the beaches were nearby so you
decided to go to those as well.

> Kariforunia o doraibu shite, sandiego ni iki, Joshua Tree Park to ikutsuka
> no bi-chi ni yottemimashita.
