Briefly

Due to significant funding cuts affecting national parks, this year encourages visitors to explore California State Parks instead. With 280 parks offering extensive coastlines, trails, and historic sites, the California State Parks Foundation has launched its first Best of California State Parks Poll, gathering opinions from over 1,300 people to identify the top parks for various activities. Highlights include Morro Bay for its scenic beauty and activities, along with Mount Tam in Marin, favored for its hiking trails and stunning views. Exploring these parks promotes appreciation of nature amid challenges facing larger national parks.
