The California State Parks System showcases the full range of our State's spectacular beauty. State Parks offer the visitor everything from the cool, misty redwoods on the north coast and sunny beaches along the southern California coastline to the alpine ruggedness of the Sierra Nevada mountains and the haunting beauty of California's great deserts.
