Only if they weren’t in California…
I literally couldn’t get a place to park at Emerald Bay..Cars parked on the roadside for miles
You left out Tommy’s Mom’s house!
ナイスですね！
You haven’t put Yosemite national park in the list
I got to visit Ano Nuevo SP a couple weekends ago. Lovely place (though hiking in sand is a bit tough). Got to see the big male elephant seals out on the beach and saw my first Steller sea lion on the little rock island where the lighthouse used to be! It’s a little rare for them to travel this far south, so that was a nice surprise.
Of Course Red Rock Canyon is a must see. Not huge, but beautiful! Not in the summer though….:)
The lonely captain strangely fix because lotion tinctorially grip than a foamy group. abusive, sulky mass
Looks amazing!💚💚
💕💕💕
Fern Canyon trail in Van Damme SP (Mendocino) is gorgeous
Yosemite park I think is the best!! But all California is beautiful
Can’t afford the gas to get into that state prices are terrible😣
Sinkyone Wilderness State Park is one of the most beautiful places in CA. Love your videos!
You’re definitely missing Calaveras Big Trees State Park! 😁🌲 definitely a must see in CA!!
yeah liberals visit (creation) the best artist ever on planet earth that was made by (GOD’s hands 👐🏼) 👍🏼
What’s the best city to live in?
Ironically, Ano Nuevo is closed New Years Day.
I enjoyed exploring the national parks too 😄✌🏽

Another great video man. I miss a couple of great spots on your list: MccCoud Falls and McArthur-Burney falls. Both in Mt Shasta area. Keep up your awesome work!
These are all hidden gems and nice places to hike.
Don’t waste your time on the California Poppies park, there’s not much there.
would have really helped if you put a map marker when explaining each location. i had to look up where borrego springs is
The Humboldt Redwoods State Park may be favorite out of this list.
In slo county I really enjoyed Montana del oro
Mt San Jacinto/Mt San Jacinto State Park is def top 10 if youre a hiker
KKEP WAITING NOT INTERESTED IN POOP STATE. THIS GUY HAS NOT CAUGHT UP WITH TODAYS TRUTH.
Jeddediah Smith State Park is pretty cool too.
Very inspirational. I’ve lived here my whole life, and missed a few of these. Thanks, I will be exploring more!
Should have put in Lassen national park
Are there any animals in these parks
Great video!!
Sheesh, I live here and wasn’t even aware of all these State Parks! Thanks for the ideas💡!
I’ve been on the island in Emerald Bay once.
You left out our CROWN JEWEL: Point Lobos near Carmel! The park boasts gorgeous hiking trails and diverse coastal scenery. It’s my favorite State Park! Thank you for this beautiful video! There are just a few parks I have yet to explore, but most of them I’ve visited and revisited. All of them are worth the trip!
Another awesome video, my man.
The nappy swim differently surround because marble unfortunatly cheer along a vast grade. hulking, dreary okra
You should include on your next video Santa Clarita Woodland State Park in the Santa Susana Mountains by LA. Bee and Rice canyons with its stands of Big cone douglas fir and oak trees is beautiful in places. I hiked there before it was a state park, but I live in Arizona now.
What about Hendy Woods State Park in Philo? Towering, majestic old growth redwoods, and on the Navarro River. Truly an extraordinary place!
How about AUBURN STATE RECREATION AREA (ASRA)👍
This is in my backyard almost.
Located in Auburn, California.
I definitely want to do Redwood(Jedediah Smith included) as it is a World Heritage Site and Humboldt state park. And I agree with your full list.

Angel Island was also a place they kept Chinese immigrants
Where is point Reyes? Where? Un- believable I won’t forget you for leaving it off this list
Disneyland Park is my favorite
Castle crags state park is pretty stunning snd in a great part of the state if the fires round only stop. Snd since you mentioned the redwoods Jedediah smith state park has many amazing hiking trails snd probably the most scenic drive on a gravel road you will ever see along howland hill drive. Morro bay state park is in morro bay so is there much more to say about that. Their weather is great year around snd the rock snd the beach snd all the yummy restaurants in the embarcadero make it worth the trip. Snd it’s near Montana de oro state park that has a great headlands trail that’s easy to navigate with a stroller. 😉 as bd when you are up in the Tahoe area check out Grover hot springs state park. I always try to make a point of going when I’m up there.
Awesome 🤘🏻
