BellaOnline Forums Travel and Culture California State and National Parks - your favs?

Which state or national parks in CA have you visited? Which would you like to visit?

I'll start: I spent my 16th birthday at Joshua Tree, and since then have been to all seven of the designated national parks - Channel Islands, Death Valley, Sequoia, King's Canyon, Redwoods, Yosemite, and Lassen.

I'm working on the monuments and on the state parks, although I've visited quite a few. My current favorites are Leo Carrillo State Beach (where we try to camp every few years), Montana de Oro State Park, and Mt. San Jacinto State Park.

My favorite is Yosemite. Used to go there as a child, though I can't say I've been in recent decades. Somehow I've never made it to Death Valley, which would be on my bucket list if I had one.

Prescott National Forest in Arizona.

My favorite is Yosemite....the huge granite mountains are so awesome! I have been to all the National Parks in California except the Channel Island....guess I should plan a trip soon.
