State Parks

Just because you’ve seen Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks doesn’t mean you’re done with California’s superb outdoor spaces. There are still many trails to hike and things to learn in one of over 250 California state parks. Visit a gold rush mine to see California’s history or make a stop in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park to marvel at the trees. These are just a few examples, and here are some of our favorite state parks in California.
